TikTok ban exposes PSYOPs-led secret dance battle with China

WASHINGTON — The announcement by President Donald Trump to ban the use of the Chinese social media app, TikTok, has revealed details of what has been up until now a secret psychological operation–led military dance war with the Communist regime.

A study of thousands of videos of US service members acting without discipline, have shown most turned out to be part of a pre-planned and carefully calculated PSYOP mission. These secretive dance battles served as a distraction to trick the People's Liberation Army into thinking that the US military was wasting all its time recording service members doing stupid dances, instead of training for war.

When asked what possible sense such an operation could make, a senior PSYOPs officer responded, "As much sense as starting formation early so it doesn't start late, and then punishing people who don't show up a half hour ahead of the early scheduled start time for not being on time."
