China ignores phone calls from Pentagon – Politico
The reportedco break in communications comes amid large-scale military drills around Taiwan
 

As China continues its snap military drills around Taiwan in retaliation to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s provocative visit to the island this week, top Chinese military officials are refusing to return calls from their counterparts at the Pentagon, according to Politico.

Beijing allegedly rejected several calls from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley in recent days, according to “three people with knowledge of the attempts.” Milley’s last confirmed contact with China’s Chief of the Joint Staff, General Li Zuocheng, came on July 7, while Austin met with the Chinese defense minister, General Wei Fenghe, in person in June.

Yea, well, we just went thru 5 years of lawsuits, impeachments and allegations based on "unnamed" sources who either never existed or lied to congress and the courts....

"Uh, long distance, directory-assistance, area code 86-010"
"Hey mama, this is Mr. Lloyd Austin "
They said hello and put me on hold
To say the least, the cat was cold
They said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you"

That's the problem with being a double agent spy. You only do it voluntarily once. After that, they own you just like China owns Milley. He works for them now. And China has no respect for a traitor.

Who couldn't see that happening???  No surprise.  Our weaponry will eventually be used against us.  Yes, we should have kept our noses out of Ukraine.  Joe was giving Zelenskyy $$ before Russia even ramped up their game.  Let's Go Brandon!!!
