Tweet.

This is coolbert:

A tweet from a high-ranking American Senator has created controversy in an unexpected and deleterious way?

Thanks to the Russian Internet media outlet Sputnik:

"'US Declaring War on China': Experts Shocked as Senator Reveals 30,000 American Troops Are in Taiwan"

"A senior US senator, also a member of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on his social media revealed that the US has 30,000 soldiers stationed in China's Taiwan island."

NO! This is a simple mistake! A gaffe and nothing more! It must be. Thirty-thousand American troops on Taiwan I would think would leave a major footprint [a marked effect, impression, or impact], unmistakable. Correct?

"gaffe: n. A blatant mistake or misjudgment."

I GUESS THAT IT CAN BE REASONABLY INFERRED THAT A HIGH-RANKING MEMBER OF THE USA SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A GAFFE OF WHATEVER NATURE.

Senators = Solons. Wise men. Most of the time? Tweet tweet.
