The Republican obsessive wish for "balloon gate."

[jotathought]

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

Yes .. I know not to steal women's luggage from the airport .. at least twice .. and get caught.

February 5, 2023 Suspected China spy balloon news

China has accused Washington of 'seriously violating international practice' after the US military shot down a suspected spy balloon over the ocean. Follow here for live updates.

You've got to feel a little sorry for the Republican party these days. They are mired in a swamp of their own making, and don't seem able to extricate themselves from it.

President Biden, who does not claim to be "smarter than the generals," took their advice and ended the balloon's trek just the way he should have.

They are stuck with a 2024 presidential candidate they don't want.

They are elbow to elbow with a recently elected congressman who lied his head off repeatedly to get the job.

Their beloved Russia with its Trump loving dictator is slogging along in a war of its own making with no end in sight. They hate Ukraine and its leader Zelenskyy because he wouldn't publicly investigate Hunter Biden and his all powerful laptop, causing Trump to get impeached.

Trump badly flunked the 2022 mid term elections and is now trying to wreck the Republican 2024 presidential candidate field.

And, to top it all off, if Trump does manage to steal the 2024 nomination, he will have to face again the man who slaughtered him badly in the 2020 election.

But, good times are coming; with a little grooming, George Santos will be the perfect Republican presidential candidate in 2028! Bigly!!!

Look Trump cultists, a balloon!

...

Okay, you can all run and change your diapers now.

I'm _never_ going to get tired of doing that.

Trump cult cowards, just because your masters ordered you to get hysterical, you didn't have to obey.

Just because all of your squealing pajama-boi fellow cultists were shrieking like little girls, you didn't have to join in.

But you did. You all chose to act like world-class wimps. Since it was your free choice, we'll never let you live it down. We'll be reminding you of your humiliation forever.

Look, EvilCat, a balloon!


AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA

You can come out from under the bed now.

Many Republican politicians are on the CCP payroll, and you tongue bathe all of them.

The question is "why?". Do you get a cut of that sweet commie cash, or do your serve China purely out of ideological devotion?

Heck, are you even American at all, or are you a shill from some commie hellhole?

My favorite conspiracy theory is the one where everything is going to be alright.

So why didn't Trump shoot down the 3 spy balloons?

Biden acted. Trump was afraid to act. You worship Trump. You must want to appease China as much as he does.

Biden gave orders….Shoot it down when it is safe
They did

Why?

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

Why didn’t Trump shoot down balloons?

Nice try Skippy

Chinese balloons flew over US three times during Trump administration: officials

Balloons similar to the one that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina this weekend flew over the U.S. at least three times during the Trump administration, according to a senior U.S. defen…

Mark Milley...the guy that secretly called China?

Yeah...I think we know where his loyalties lie...

...and it ain't with us.

U.S. top general secretly called China over fears Trump could spark war -report

The top U.S. general secretly called his Chinese counterpart twice over concerns then-President Donald Trump could spark a war with China as his potential election loss loomed and in its aftermath, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Thoroughly Modern Milley should hang for treason.

 

[San Souci]

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.

That is because Dems love China ,want COVID to last forever , and just generally suck.

What was the danger of the Balloon?

It flew over Lake Pend Oreille, Id. where a Naval submarine base is located which houses state of the art sonar testing facilities.
It flew over nuclear silos in Montana.
I don't know, maybe nothing, maybe something....but perhaps should have erred on the side of caution.

rightwinger, why are you such a communist sympathizer....nearly every time, if not every time an occasion arises?

The Military assessed potential intelligence compromises and determined they were no big deal. If it was, they would have shot it down.

Unlike Trump who liked to brag that he knew more than the Generals, President Biden trusts them to make decisions like that.

The Military assessed? How the fuck did they assess it? By just saying so?
There were plenty of areas along the way that they could have shot it down, without any threat.
But, there you are.......on China's side....a lot.

Let me see…

The military could see the flight path and what facilities could be seen. They also knew what was already visible by satellite.

Biden gave them instructions to shoot down the balloon when it was safe to do so.
They did.

My guess is because he is a Chinese agent.

Why? Because Xi's stooge in the WH, xiden said so?

Once a Chinese stooge, ALWAYS a Chinese stooge.

No, because our President gives more credence to the advice of his Generals than the rantings of FoxNews talking heads

The same general that committed treason by contacting the Chinese behind the presidents back?

That general?

DURRRRRR

Treason?

Has the judicial system charged him with Treason or just RW nutjobs?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Are you a traitor or Chinese loyalist? Looks like Chinese loyalist.

 

[westwall]

Treason?

Has the judicial system charged him with Treason or just RW nutjobs?

Of course not. The judicial system is corrupt. It has been made very clear that China has been buying our politicians for years, and those politicians have perverted the system to aid the CCP.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yeah, they were hoping no one would notice it.

I wonder how much "the big guy" got for letting the spy balloon spy on our nuclear launch sites.

Hmm…I wonder what they saw. Probably what’s been there for fifty plus years. Roads, fences, a few out buildings and a large concrete cover. Not much.

 

[rightwinger]

Of course not. The judicial system is corrupt. It has been made very clear that China has been buying our politicians for years, and those politicians have perverted the system to aid the CCP.

There we go, we can’t trust the US judicial system to prosecute, we can only trust RW conspiracy theorists

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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

Not at 60k feet and certainly not anything encrypted. It’s much easier to jam them then for them to sort through any signals they intercepted.

From the path, it was detailed views of missile silos.
