Why Leftists Should Agree with Republicans: Shoot Down that Chinese Balloon
Seven Reasons why that Chinese Spying Balloon Should be Blasted to Bits

As I am writing this, a balloon, sent into space by the Chinese, is traversing the United States. We all know that many right wing people are in favor of shooting down the balloon. I am a leftist, and I will show you why leftists should also be in favor of shooting down the balloon:
1) Leftists should have no sympathy for Communist China as it is Communist and Marxist in name only. China is a grotesque merger of Fascism and Capitalism.
There is nothing socialistic about Mainland China anymore. It is all about work, work and work some more for your miserly, miserable son of a bitch boss. When I think of China, I think of classic dystopian novels in which men are transformed into meek slaves of industry who don’t seem like humans; they seem like a hybrid of the human and the robotic. I liked them better when they were raving Maoists, did not compete with us and didn’t throw Americans out of work.
2) Don’t underestimate the fiendishness of Mainland China. Among other things, I have read, in reputable news sources (Periodicals such as the NY Times; not histrionic stuff read by Trumpers) that political dissidents are not merely jailed. After they are arrested and “convicted” in a kangaroo court, their organs may be sold to wealthy Europeans looking for new kidneys, etc.
3) As a leftist who was very sympathetic to North Vietnam, I am very wary of China. For 1200 years, China tried to pulverize and rule Vietnam, a much, much smaller nation. After 1200 years of fighting the Chinese, the Vietnamese were the most battle-hardened, resolute people on this planet. Needless to say, the fools in American government overlooked the terrible tenacity of the Vietnamese which had been burnished through ceaseless battles against China. Indeed, our fool for a Secretary of State in the administrations of JFK and LBJ, Dean Rusk, said, in 1965, that North Vietnam was a mere “instrumentality” of China.
3) They have been building artificial islands off their Southeastern coast to use as a launching pad to attack various states in the Pacific.
4) They are a prime exporter of generic medications that often are inadequate. Sometimes, pills, advertised as containing 500 milligrams of amoxicillin only have 350 milligrams of amoxicillin. Wonder why your pneumonia wasn’t resolved as soon as it should have been ?
5) The Biden administration is filled to its gills with BS when it says that we can’t shoot it down because debris will fall to the ground.
Of course, debris will fall to the ground. Do you think Brits refrained from trying to shoot down Nazi planes because debris would fall to the ground. Do you think North Vietnam refrained from shooting down B 52s because debris would fall to the ground. You might say that there’s a big difference as those states were in a hot war. However, if we don’t shoot down this balloon, we might suffer a whole lot more debris when the Chinese nuke us.
6) Do you think my allegations about a possible Chinese attack are over the top ? Think again: The balloon was hovering over Montana. There are only 3 bases where we have ICBMs that can strike China. One of them is in Montana. Perhaps they are figuring out how they can disable our ICBMs and then launch a first strike on the United States which will turn us into Chop Suey. And if my reference to Chop Suey ruffles your terribly sensitive politically correct feathers, I’m glad.
7) Beware of Americans who will discount the Chinese threat. The Chinese judiciously send money to “influencers” to give the Chinese good press. Even Bill Clinton was manipulated by Chinese money.
In around 1999, the Chinese wanted to buy very technically sophisticated equipment from a corporation known, if my memory serves me correctly, as the Lorall Corporation or the Laurale Corporation. The defense dept. tried to block the sale, arguing that it could imperil our national security. What did the corporation and the Chinese do ? They went to Pussy Prez Bill Clinton. Billy boy Clinton asked them to make a contribution to the Democratic National Committee. They shelled out one million dollars to the DNC. The sale went through.
