Chinese Spy Balloons

[alex peters]

China just reaffirmed their lack of respect of the United States as they send a SPY balloon over our nuclear sites. Now, it has been reported a 2nd balloon has been spotted over Canada

President Joe has refused to answer questions on this incident.

Very possibly he is confusing this incident with the Hiddenburg crashing in New Jersey about 100 years ago

Hindenburg!

The US seem to have taken a careful and measured response. Well other than Homer Trump anyway...

And of course the US don't spy on anyone else at all.

Blinken is blinking right now. Lol. Careful and Measured response to a clear IN YOUR FACE. Pompeo says shoot it down. He is right. We are showing weakness. The Chinese will notice this.

Another question why did we not know this balloon was over the U.S. before it was over Montana

The Pentagon said Friday it does not plan to shoot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon floating 60,000 feet above the U. S. because "any potential debris field would be significant" and could cause "civilian injuries or deaths or significant property damage”. The balloon is reported to be the size of "three buses".

"We" may not have known this balloon was over the U.S. before it was over Montana, but are you sure that the US Military didn't know? "We" found out because some civilian in Billings, MT filmed it.

Gov. Parson of Missouri said today the spy balloon was over Missouri as Senator Hawley says shoot it down. The military had plenty of opportunities to shoot it down when it was in areas where there was no inhabitants

The West has become the poster child of weakness and the laughing stock of the free world.

Theodore Roosevelt Ronald Reagan Harry Truman Andrew Jackson all the Greats of the past are rolling over in their graves watching this weakness and creampuff administration.

"Senator Hawley says shoot it down".

I don't find anything in Mr. Hawley's C.V. that leads me to believe he's any sort of expert in miltary strategy, engineering, wind and weather, or international politics.

" . . . areas where there was no inhabitants . . . "

I don't recall your area of expertise, but I'm sure even you realize that exploding an object at 60,000' might result in a rather unpredictably located debris field hundreds of miles away from the explosion coordinates.

As I recall, it was when Trump was President that America became "the laughing stock of the free world."

Pompeo said the same thing. It is a spy balloon not a rocket. Always excuses to look weak.
