Just how weak and woke is the US military complex and the Pentagon? They are laughing stock of the world. Last year, Saudi Arabia refused to take their calls. Now, after the Chinese spy balloon collected sensitive information on US missile silos, the communist Chinese are refusing to take calls from the weak, woke Pentagon. China isn’t interested in pup masks, pronouns, transgenderism or any of the other weird shit that the Pentagon has become.
China rebuffed a US effort to arrange a phone call between the two countries’ top defense officials after the US shot down an alleged spy balloon, a Pentagon spokesman said, in a stark new sign of how the uproar over the balloon has sent ties between the adversaries to a new low.
The department asked for a call between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe right after the balloon was shot down on Feb 4. “Unfortunately the PRC has declined our request,” Brigadier General Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement, referring to China by its formal name, the People’s Republic of China.
“We believe in the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between the United States and the PRC in order to responsibly manage the relationship,” Ryder said. “Lines between our militaries are particularly important in moments like this.”
The Pentagon’s acknowledgment that it’s request for a call was spurned appeared to dash hopes that relations between the world’s two biggest economies could recover a semblance of normalcy anytime soon after the spy balloon episode and numerous other strains, including a series of new US export controls and what US officials say is China’s stepped-up aggressiveness toward Taiwan.
