First contact has been made!
We have made first contact with extraterristrial beings, and not just 1 of them but several.
One of the species calls themselves the US
One of the other species call themselves CHINA
The remaining calls themselves RUSSIA
Communication attempts are ongoing, and the general public are hopeful that these visitors are friendly, but initial research suggests they might be psychic vampires, or some other kind of space parasite
Can you imagine if we really did experience first contact, the fact that countries and their brainless leaders can't even play nicely in the sandbox, like most other normal adults manage to do daily
