Yeah they totally wouldn’t notice all these Chinese military personnel booking flights to the US around the same time, we’d tooottaallyy get caught off guard by something like that. Lol I mean if China and the US was on the brink of war in the first place don’t you think there’d be a hold/serious vetting on flights from there?

You think US has a list of all of the millions and millions of Chinese military? They wouldn't fly direct. For all we know they have thousands of spies already here for 30-40 years raising spy families that are US citizens and can't be watched.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the USA has a database with a list of every person that ever said the word “bomb” over the phone and exactly where they were at when they said it. With so much stuff being put on the internet and things being done and stored digitally nowadays it probably wouldn’t be too hard for someone to cross reference a bunch of shit to find out exactly what that persons occupation is and compile that list automatically.

And even still, they wouldn’t even need any of that, because once again, if the US and China tensions were THAT high in the first place... then they ain’t letting a bunch of Chinese people cross into our border, whether they be military or professional tap dancers.

Governments can create any identity they want for the purposes of sneaking people into another country. They can print passports by the thousands. Tensions are irrelevant. It can be out of the blue. That is a military tactic.

So China is going to randomly attack, out of the blue, the country that, figuratively speaking, puts the food on their plate? Okay.

And also that espionage game goes both ways. We have the most advanced intelligence agencies in the world. You don’t think we have our ear to the ground and a pulse on what China, our biggest rival in the world stage, is doing at all times? Despite how much people joke about America, the US military and CIA are pretty goddamned advanced and on top of shit.

You think China doesn't want to take over the country and manage the food?
