You're making the mistake that both of these things can't be a problem.

Look back to 2003 when the government wanted war with Iraq. To you that might have been a "distraction", but the government still being allowed to do it anyway created more problems for years, if not decades.

The exact same scenario could play out with todays events. What if they really are preparing for war with China and this is early pretext? Are you going to bury your head in the sand and ignore it?

The Chinese being an issue is an entirely separate can of worms, and I never denied it could be a dig at China or some setup in that same vein, simply that for now it's more of a distraction. In any case, this has very little to do with what I was talking about, as my original point was that the aliens angle specifically was misdirection and distraction.
