    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.

      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?

          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.

            its broad mandate includes national security, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, cyberwarfare, and the protection of U.S. naval assets worldwide.

            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.

                    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

          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?
