    Didn’t bother to look how he called Xi a dictator before, Biden was even more based than I thought lmao

    “The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said. “That was the great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn’t know what happened.”

      I mean he didn’t shoot it down, he had it shot down. It’s the first A2A kill of the F-22, he could at least acknowledge it.

      He’s on point with foreign policy for now. Humiliating world leaders is never not good.

        No, it’s not a good thing in the long term. Diplomacy is a must, shouldn’t push others away, especially China.
