What’s the Manchurian candidate been up to

European countries as a whole should have been doing these sorts of things for themselves in the first place and I am sure they are more than capable of doing so eliminating any future issues such as this when our next fascist wannabe is elected.

@W, I'm sure that we weren't doing this merely as a favor or a service to our European allies.  The Joint Chiefs, the CIA, and any other unit of authority within our own military was also undoubtedly reviewing the material gathered by "Open Skies" because, let's face it, WE'D probably like to have some idea as to what Russia and other 'unfriendly' nations like China and North Korea were up to as well.

And we can't rely exclusively on Google Earth satellite shots.

The sad thing is that entry (and, therefore, exit from treaties) is a Congressional, not a presidential power, but the courts usually decline to intervene claiming the issue where this was raised is a political question. Democratic and Republican presidents have done this, but I would love to see the SC rule that Congress must approve any withdrawal (you'd think all these strict constructionists would adhere to the wording of the constitution), but I doubt it. The last time I recall the SC sidestepped it was with Carter (although there may have been other examples later).

The Manchurian candidate is Biden; after all, Manchuria is a part of China, and it is Biden and the so-called democrats who want to help China become dominant and rule the world. I will wait and see, but I do expect that Biden will be sucking Chinese dick and kissing communist ass. I hope I am wrong, and it all is just politics, and our rights and freedoms are safe, but I fear that is not the case; time will tell.

I'm really, honestly curious where you you got the idea that Democrats are pro-China.

Trump was/is afraid of Putin and I wouldn't be surprised if he made deals with China to benefit himself. Where did you get the idea that Biden and the democratic party want China to dominate and rule the world? That really sounds kinda stupid.

Considering it was a Democratic administration that spearheaded the Trans Pacific Partnership, intended to provide a strong counterweight to China in the Pacific Rim, and that it was the Trump administration that pulled the U.S. out of it, thus significantly hamstringing its ability to act as said counterweight, it's more than a bit asinine to claim that Democrats want China to rule the world. Oh, wait, it is the village idiot speaking, so asinine goes without saying.

Biden’s son is owned by the Chinese; and, Biden will l submits to the communist in his party. He wouldn’t want his son to have a fatal accident. A theory is just a theory; I could be wrong. Let see if he takes things back to the way they were with the Chinese.

What an imagination; a few too many B movies, I think.

Do you mean before all the ruination caused by 45*’s insane tariffs in his trade war with China which has only hurt USA?

Farmers have killed themselves and whole families devastated; there’s no going back to the way things were.

Brutal, Big RR. It wasn't intended that way. The all-Chinese cast was great

Aren't something like 0.5% of us descended from Genghis Khan? So Omar Sharif here is Everyman.
