Balloon

[bambino]

Geez, just think if Joey Bribes didn’t leave 80 billion in weapons in Afghanistan? We might have been able to shoot a weapon less ballon before it got to Alaska. Maybe an Eskimo or a Popar Bear could have done it..

gleaned whatever data they were looking to collect.

... But then the fact of the matter was a terrible tragedy
with leaving Afghanistan - and now gettin' surveilled by
a Chinese aircraft over the US's own airspace.

It surely don't make me happy to say this, but with Biden
America is turning into "The Nation of Humiliation"...

Daft Old Kipper! Order was give 4 days prior for first opportunity to bring it down.

So, clearly show the "tragedy" of this.
Ain't the first time asia has had balloons float the big salty over here.

And I'd LOVE for you to start a thread on the American withdraw from Afganistan.

Were any Chinese balloons floated over the US while Trump was president? Sure had there been any they would have been shot down and he would have reported it to the US public, right?

Except that every official in the Trump administration who would've known about it has denied this!

Looks like fake news to me.


1. John Bolton - "I don’t know of any balloon flights by any power over the United States during my tenure, and I’d never heard of any of that occurring before I joined in 2018," Bolton said. "I haven’t heard of anything that occurred after I left either."

Bolton said that if the Biden administration has "specific examples, they need to tell Congress."

He added: "I can say with 100% certainty not during my tenure."


2. Robert O'Brien - "Unequivocally, I have never been briefed on the issue," O’Brien said, telling Fox News Digital that his team, which included Matt Pottinger, who served as deputy national security adviser, and Allison Hooker, who served as senior adviser to Asia, also were not briefed on these activities.


3. Ric Grennel (who did "one of the biggest intelligence deep dives on China, their spying and the origins of COVID" during his tenure) - "It never came up," he said. "If a balloon had come up, we would have known. Someone in the intelligence community would have known, and it would have bubbled up to me to brief the president."


4. John Ratcliffe - "It's not true. I can refute it," Ratcliffe said on "Sunday Morning Futures." "The American people can refute it for themselves. Do you remember during the Trump administration, when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States that people could look up and see, even with the naked eye, and that a media that hated Donald Trump wasn't reporting?"

He added: "I don't remember that either, because it didn't happen."


5. Mark Esper - "I don't ever recall somebody coming into my office or reading anything that the Chinese had a surveillance balloon above the United States," Esper said during an appearance on CNN. "I would remember that for sure."


6. Chris Miller - "Never heard a whisper and I have to think if anything like that happened that would have been a huge issue," Miller told Fox News Digital. "No. Absolutely never heard of anything like that while I was in government or at the Pentagon."

Don't know why everyone is crying.

Just grabbed the first available one and this puppy has been visiting us since 1980.

[Salty Again]

... Nobody's crying... Except maybe those who
constantly have to lie and distort to protect Joe Biden.

"balloons sailing all-around America while Trump was on"...

6 former officials on the record as stating this bullshit never happened vs. "unnamed senior official".

... Crikey! ... Got A LOT of "schoolhouse lessons" surely being
taught here... And over in the Pittsburgh forum. ...

Pompeo and Rubio have an odd way of saying that it didn’t happen during the Trump years.

Maybe some more investigation is needed to see what the “different” and “not unprecedented” types of balloons were. So there’s no confusion.

You can't teach ignorant communists anything. The post above proves that.

Shoot them down like the 3 they never saw?
The instrument package in the one that was just shot down was supposed to be the size of 3 large buses.
At least Biden was tracking this one.
Trump missed 3 of them that went by.
Or are you still shilling for trump's fuck ups?
Every event he has he still repeats lies he's been telling for years.

Either it China's "goodyear blimp" just flying-about

DID sell 'imself and America to China.

... If Trump was still on - it surely woulda been
blasted out o' the sky by now.

... But - perhaps your worst fears are true!
And China owns Joe! ...
