Does China pose a potential security threat to America?
In a recent interview with Seehafer News, Sixth District Congressman Glen Grothman says “we definitely have to keep an eye on what is going on over there.”
We asked him if the Biden Administration took too long to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon that traveled unimpeded from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to the Carolina coast.
“They said they were afraid of popping the balloon because it might come down and land on somebody,” he said. “Has anybody ever flown over Montana, or for that matter, northern Canada? The should have been shot down earlier, and quite frankly, if they would have shot it down earlier, they wouldn’t have to be looking in the ocean for where it is. They would have gotten it right away before it was more damaged than I’m sure it is.”
The Glenbeulah Republican, who serves Manitowoc County in Washington DC, took offense to a recent comment that America would be at war with the Chinese within two years.
“There are a lot of bad things going on in China, and we ought to point out those bad things,” Grothman said. “But, I think, to have a committee chairman, a Republican committee chairman, to predict a war in China within two years, is just to encourage another growth spurt in the Chinese military.”
Grothman admits he’s a bit more concerned about the Russian-Ukraine war as the Russians have a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
He adds that although the crisis in Ukraine is troubling, he questions all the funding that we (America) are funneling over there while not doing much of anything to stop hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from crossing the US-Mexican border.
