this is a treasonous offense,,
At least #51 on my list of treasonous Biden offenses. If they don't get this balloon and it sinks or it falls into China's hands first, all bets are off on who our government and military are working for anymore.
The USA watches the planet 24/7 for incoming high-altitude ICBMs, weapons and attacks from all directions, over the North Pole, from the seas, everywhere, and that balloon never should have even made it to flying over Alaska.
That thing could have been shot down most anytime over Alaska, the Yukon, British Columbia or Montana, etc., with little fear of hitting anything other than pine trees or the occasional bear or bull moose.
They had to know its location at all times and falling out of the sky a flapping piece of cloth and some instrument packages as dead weight falling from 11 miles up, what could they drift without high winds? A half mile? A mile? You telling me they couldn't find a few miles of empty space to shoot it down in Alaska, through Canada into the northern remotes of the USA?
I don't know which is worse, that they left this thing go or are such flagrantly bad liars about it to not even give a remotely plausible excuse?
