Okay, but how is China going to pay? This entire virus was only being researched in the lab in the first place because China didn’t want to be embarrassed like they were with SARS ever again (cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm music as to what happened next); so why the fuck would China admit they blundered twice in a row to meet the rest of the world’s desire for retribution?
If Trump was serious he’d talk about cutting China out of various institutions or penalizing them on trade; but instead it’s “we’ll make them pay, literally!” nonsense.
What a lot of conservatives and Trump supporters do not understand about politics is you cannot just be right or angry or steeped in tradition; there has to be mechanisms to things like unseating Biden or making China pay. No mechanism, nothing happens. It is like a simple physics problem: if the lever is connected to nothing, why do you insist pulling it will cause anything to change?
