It's all a great story, let me know when you can back up your claims. You notice how this works? See the above poster: "I saw it. Well, I really didn't see it, I just think I did."

This is a cowardly way out. You know damn good and well I have no access to do anything further to back up my claims than provide sources and references from the warring media propagandists.

And this is between you and me, I could care less what somebody elses is arguing with you. I dont need a clique around me.

You are doubting that the apple guy gave it to fbi?

Or the journalists who received copies and said that they also gave to fbi like hot potato?

Or that Miles Guo sent fbi a copy?

Or Giuliani repeatedly claiming that fbi had no interest in obtaining another copy?



Ok, I completely understand why you might not believe rudy.

He went senile long before joe.

Ad Hominims are cowardly as well.

Then your claims are totally worthless.

I'm doubting what was on there is what you're claiming. Like 100% doubting it.

They're so true in this case. "I saw something, I have no proof other than a guy showed me this thing where I can't verify what I'm saying but it's soooooo not a lie. For really realz!"

This is why conspiracy people are impossible to take seriously, they constantly discredit themselves with outright over embellishment and/or complete fabrication. It's obviously an ego thing.

How would you suggest making the claims more worthwhile in your opinion?



And I did not say which stories.

Some are 100% true.

Pay attention better.

But they've got to be a bit uncomfortable right now.

We're constantly holding fleet operations in the China Sea, I don't see us letting China attack/invade Taiwan.

I think the number is something like 80k Afghani's that we abandoned through either malfeasance or incompetence. Neither bodes well, and are both the perfect launch pad for anti-US propaganda from China.

To the rest of the room: remember all the celebrities and brands that have brow beat you over China over the last 5 years. Remember Lebron and the NBA. Remember Disney. Remember the Clintons. Its all coming home to roost. We look incredibly weak and powerless to a nation led by a government that medically experiments on its own people. While we continue to help fund it.

It's also important to note that even if some folks here are right and we will back Taiwan with Biden at the helm, all it takes is China's perception that we won't back Taiwan to start a war.

Wars often start through miscalculation. Oh, so-and-so won't do this, because that. But so-and-so doesn't make the same calculation you make. Next thing you know you're in a war.

Hitler got the impression from the weakness of Britain and France when he made his initial advances that they would continue to do nothing.

Saddam thought the West would just sanction him for invading Kuwait.

Just 2 examples.

I don't disagree that it's a horrid situation.

The major difference is we have no long term interest in Afghanistan, it was a case of spending good money after bad.

“When Taliban fighters entered Kabul on Aug. 15, they didn’t just seize control of the Afghan government. They also gained the ability to control access to huge deposits of minerals that are crucial to the global clean energy economy.

In 2010, an internal US Department of Defense memo called Afghanistan “the Saudi Arabia of lithium,” after American geologists discovered the vast extent of the country’s mineral wealth, valued at at least $1 trillion. The silvery metal is essential for electric vehicles”

Hmmm.

I guess I'd worry more that what was on there could have been faked somehow.

Not qualified to determine that.

Also not qualified to determine any actual ages.



Why not ask fbi & media for proof either way?

Kind of strange nobody's denying it with democrat's complete control of msm.

Maybe hunter just likes that kind of reputation?

The United States primarily imports lithium batteries from China who is not sourcing their lithium from Afghanistan.

Proof.

Are you asking for someone to send you a naughty pic?

Want to rethink that?

Not my job and I'm 100% certain if there was in fact evidence of what you claim, unsympathetic news outlets would have been blasting the news all over the place.

I'm asking you, do you know why? Because I know you don't have it.
