The Republican obsessive wish for "balloon gate."

[Doc7505]

Biden gave the order last Wednesday
The Military decided it was safe yesterday.

The Military decided it was not a big enough threat to shoot down earlier

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Wow, this balloon snafu must really have the Left worried now! They're already trying to deflect from it or spin it as a Trump thing or a GOP "obsession" even giving it a name: "Balloon-gate!"

Meantime, these are the same people who had a fucking COW because Trump once used a weather map that had a mark on it where a hurricane might go but went another way instead!

Honest!

You and honest have never even been in the same room.

Nobody knew about them then. Hard to be outraged over something you do not know about.

Also, as far as I know, none of those crossed the entire country.

Other than the enormous propaganda benefit to china, they were able to collect all sorts of ELINT, and SIGINT.

It's impossible to overestimate the stupidity, and dishonesty of progressives.

Projection.

You haven't made an honest post yet.

What was the danger of the Balloon?

Injecting code into critical infrastructure?

Mapping secret nuclear launch sites?

Monitoring communication?

Something new and so secret that we don't have any idea what it was doing?

This is why we don't let our enemies invade our airspace.

And it is an absolute embarrassment that you need this explained to you.

If the Pentagon pops two more ballons they will win a stuffed animal ironically also made in China.

Winner, winner Chicken Dinner

Yet another RW Conspiracy

 

[Superbadbrutha]

The dems are already in deflection mode trying to fabricate chi-com balloon fly-overs during Trump's term that never happened. At least that fell flat.

Dems are lower than pond scum.

Yea because dumbasses like you know more than the men and women who worked at the State Dept, Pentagon, etc.

Yet another RW Conspiracy

No conspiracy...100% fact.

Mark Milley undermined his superior, The Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces and secretly called Chinese commanders multiple times.

I'm sorry you're uninformed...but that happened.

Ask Secretary of State Blinken .. who ended up cancelling his trip to China to indicate how serious it was for the Biden Administration and to prove they weren't soft on China (chuckle) ..
