China won't give America the information we need to determine if China made the Xi Jinping Virus that came from Wuhan, China. Wait. What?
I think my head hurts after reading this (via Instapundit):
The US intelligence community has told President Joe Biden it couldn’t come to a clear conclusion on COVID’s origins — because China wouldn’t provide the needed information.
Doesn't America spend approximately a gazillion dollars per year on various intelligence agencies because enemies don't simply hand over the information we want?
I mean, am I the one unclear about what intelligence agencies do? They don't take information from people trying to hide stuff? They only receive it from people willing to give it?
That's how this works? Wouldn't our intelligence budget be much lower if we just needed a PO box, an 800 number, a web site, and a Twitter handle?
Did China blackmail America for this gift of ignorance? Oh, I'm not talking about Hunter-related stuff.
But what if China knows that Biden is desperate to tamp down the string of disasters on his watch?
What if China told us they'd ship no more personal protection gear--like masks--if we persisted on exposing the Chinese Communist Party's responsibility for this pandemic?
Or maybe China offered not to invade Taiwan--whether or not the CCP planned to--before the 2022 elections here if we claimed ignorance.
I'll hope that instead we got one Hell of a concession from China to deliver this cow patty of an intelligence non-finding. Surely, not every news story can be driven by Biden administration incompetence and weakness, can it?
