Then a new virus came out of a foreign hostile country with a much delayed and lied about warning, and there is a treaty requiring near instant warning.
1. If they are indeed a hostile country, then its logical to assume, unless they are oblivious and unwise, they also consider us then a "hostile" country 2. If they also practice what we preach, meaning 'China First", aren't we being rather inept to think they wouldn't obfuscate, thereby weakening their ability to get in front of other countries in fighting the virus? 3. Regarding "delay", that is probably the case, still subjective a bit, but couldn't they use the same excuse as the climate deniers to hide behind, "where's the proof?" 4. Regarding "lie", the validity of that accusation, and the fact US currently not having exactly clean hands on that shortcoming, left the barn long ago 5. On following/honoring treaties, see #4 above.
Sounds to me more like sour grapes that your adversary didn't tell you your kidney is hanging out in a sword fight, or Japan should have warned the US about a Surprise attack.
What we didn't do, at our own over confident inept choosing with Japan and Covid, are painfully obvious to me.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
