Just a reminder that no matter how much you sell yourself out to try to fit in, if you are ethnically Chinese (or Russian, or whichever ethnic group the US currently is scapegoating) you will always be the Other and the first to be targeted. Doesn't matter if you get the passport, become a soldier or a cop, you will never be one of them.
Since they are going to get blamed for it and railroaded whether they did it or not, I hope they at least actually did get some information to China. I can't imagine they had all that much China didn't already know about though.
The boots they so fanatically lick will likely one day be the same boot that kicks their lifeless bodies into a ditch
Hey, if you’re extremely lucky you may become a token for a bit like Candace Owens.
Or a lifetime of Uncle Tom like Sowell.
Have you ever watched "Midnight Mass" on Netflix? There's a Muslim sheriff in the small US town, and he talks about the same thing.
These chargea don't get levied by NCIS without having most of the evidence first.
UCMJ court martial os actually an expensive process and billed against the budget of the offending command.
Down vote as for explaining the Navy's judicial processes?
The U.S. justice system is a lot like its foreign policy:
Literally doesn't apply in this situation. NCIS are not street cops and they have no interest in foreign policy.
Their sole duty is to investigate crimes under the UCMJ. This is necessary as the Navy operates outside federal jurisdiction due to the nature of their work, and must be able to prosecute criminals at sea.
Sure, no interest in foreign policy
Breaches of it of course. The very textbook example is sending classified documents to an unsecured recipient.
Setting foreign policy? Making mandates? Villainizing countries?
Dude get your head adjusted.
Hot damn you must be an engineer or something, building those rocket-propelled goalposts like that
Imagine willfully misunderstanding jurisdiction
Imagine thinking military law enforcement can ever be apolitical. I bet you think ICE isn't a tool for controlling labor because it doesn't outright say that on their site
I'm speaking from technical expertise while you continue to throw emotional, specious false equivalence.
Have a nice day knowing the NCIS doesn't give a fuck about China, they only care about the crime which was committed.
Sounds like buzzword cope to me but ok
An expert who doesnt understand the institutional function of MPs lmao
Lol what the fuck... there's a lot of CCP and Russian apologist on Lemmy.
Seriously, the US gov. Is not spending resources to scapegoat someone...
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/chinese-communist-party
CCP....CCP...it's CCP...go be a tankie somewhere else
The us gov is spending trillions just on scapegoating china
LOL no china is doing that really well on their own...wanna tell me how they have the rights to invade Taiwan too? Or that Uyghur concentration camps don't exist? Or that they're not an authoritarian state?
I'll wait for the whataboutism in how the USA is terrible as well...
China: the same country that lies about their imports/exports ratios.
China: the same country where all loans are through the government and if you are successful enough the government assumes control of your operations.
China: the same country that can't retake Formosa because they aren't a credible military threat.
China: the same country that destroyed its most important international port (HK) to gain nothing?
That China?
There’s plenty of tankies on the platform.
Yea, 14 downvotes (which thankfully don't mean shit) so far lol, a fuck load of tankies on this platform. The ignorance with those people is astounding.
lol I didn’t even see the downvotes, my app lets you hide comment scores
I'm using liftoff, what are you using? I'd love to hide that shit.
Bean. It’s iOS-only though.
