#1 The CCP rebuffed Biden’s call to install a Met Life logo. The rest is history.

#7 It should have been kept secret forever. If it showed a seam in our defense, we the civilians population should have never heard about it, and the military should have fixed the gap immediately. Where the problem, in my small mind, is our government does not know how to handle a hostile press. Our politicians salivate at the chance to turn anything into a left vs right political event. This was no exception. It comes out in the news, the gap is exposed and what happens? The president calls FOX a conspiracy station and mocks FOX news. FOX get pictures and discredits the government, Bidens fool focus on continuing the lie with more counter accusations. The four star general is caught bold faced lying to congress and America. Amateur hour all around. If I was China I would send all kinds of stuff like that to America, none of it needs to be functional equipment, Biden mismanaged it so bad that if was made of Lego's no one would believe it any more and the CCP plan to disrupt our government is a success....
