Gen. Milley in Jakarta today: China more aggressive, dangerous to US, allies (AP)

Army Gen. Mark Milley's visit to Indonesia is the first by a U.S. joint chiefs chairman since Adm. Mike Mullen in 2008.https://t.co/RKC40nKNGt

p.s. perhaps related in a way -at least something to keep in mind - something Millley testified to the Jan. 6 committee:

Trump didn't call Milley but Meadows did. Meadows told Milley that "we have to kill the narrative that the vice president is making all the decisions." Need to establish the story that Trump is in charge. Milley: "I don't do political narratives." #HATH

Milley told the Jan. 6 committee that he got a call from Meadows during the riot saying he wanted to "kill the narrative" that Pence, and not Trump, was in charge.

I signed legislation ensuring foreign adversaries, like the Chinese Communist Party, cannot access Florida’s schools, government, and companies – including banning Confucius Institutes in our colleges and universities. pic.twitter.com/qzrHQ5p73w

Inappropriate Chinese upskirt (can see all the way to the Thong dynasty...oops, naughty, whack his PP)

This is not Dior's new skirt, it's just a special skirt for ancient Chinese women to ride horses.

But wait, is this the same skirt as the girl on the horse? (and yes, ankle length is different than calf length...)

And just a little history about some of China's changes that might have appropriated someone else's something along the way...

And here the horrors of an Asian girl at 8:26 appropriating some lived-too-long British rockers appropriating some Gaelic Scottish-Irish ditties or jig (presumably ignorant of the Irish famine & Braveheart & other embedded undying hate). Don't trust anyone over *or* under 30. Or 300. Or 3000.

I'd say that a lot of that depends on the answer to this question.
