Chinese spy balloon hovering over Montana

[NurseGoodVol]

You're right. No pretending necessary when it's factually clear Biden is better.

You are slipping, consummate troll. That was a pathetic attempt.

If he was a movie character.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes .... here's the footage you asked for ....

Kind of what I thought

Lol. Better at what?

The US needs to park a warship just off Chinese territorial waters, wait till the wind is from the east, and then launch this ballon into Chinese airspace

And claim it's just a weather balloon, subject to force majeure.

Then of course, we simply must add large speakers and play THIS tune

If the morons are still claiming that 3 balloons went over the US during the past administration's tenure, and not a single plane or cell phone snapped a pic, and NORAD didn't detect them, I don't think further discourse is productive.

They didn’t have Ben detect them at the time. Which means someone at the WH ORDERED DOD to go back and review the recorded data and find incursions just to give Biden cover and try to embarrass Yrump. Disgusting

If they weren't detected at the time there is no way for a secondary confirmation. They can comb through old data but that would only be an anomaly. I don't think military intelligence would sign off on that statement.

Is it possible the Chinese themselves are the source of that info? "Don't worry guys, this is no big deal we do this all the time. We're such good stewards of the environment that we've sent up 3 prior meteorological balloons in the past."

The sheriff is right. Now we are finding out Milley was the lead decision maker. Is this guy a plant or just an ideologue?

1980's Military would have Arrested milley years ago. Traitor wearing brass.

I would say he is someone who overestimates his importance as well as his abilities. He comes across as extremely arrogant to me, looking down on the civilian leadership and thinking that he is much more qualified to make momentous decisions than the amateur temporary political leadership. Think McArthur but without the talent and you will be close to the mark.
The stunt where he bypassed the commander in chief and told the Chinese that we would warn them prior to any attack by the outgoing Trump administration was megalomania of the highest order and was a direct violation of every policy related to civilian control of the military as well as a violation of his oath and a blatant disregard for the chain of command.

That was not just a stunt, that was treason. He should be locked up right now for that. Many have been locked up for much much much much less. Calling Milley a POS, is a disservice and affront to POS's.

This video had me rolling!

While I can understand not wanting to shoot the Chinese Blob craft down over land, it should have been despite potential risks to the citizenry. Although Republiars would have found cause to wail like the three yrs old they are, about that too. A land shot, would have allowed easier retrieval of the hardware and whatever data it has. Now, for those claiming lack of photo evidence of Trump era balloons, while it seems odd, it's not surprising. The thing transverse Canada to get here. The Canucks didn't notice it. No photos of it, and talked about only after the USA detected it. All that said, I think it should have been brought down the moment it was projected to violate our skies. It baffles me to use a balloon when they have satellites with high resolution cameras that can do the job as well or better.

At least the Chinese had a better plan than the Russians and their submarines

Well done !

 

[NurseGoodVol]

So ... This has happened before under Democrat and Republican admins. But it's still all Biden's fault. Got it.

Apparently only under Biden.

I believe the intelligence community will sign off on anything Biden tells them to. Precedent supports this belief.

But Chinese balloons be spying, though...

The guy constantly typing “republiars” instead of simply typing republicans is accusing others of acting like 3 year olds, how rich.

Very appropriate movie also.

Milley acknowledged that he also spoke on Jan. 8 with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who, according to the Washington Post, had asked the general what safeguards were in place to prevent an "unstable president" from launching a nuclear strike.

“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,” Milley is reported to have said.

I guess Li didn’t have cell phone coverage.

 

[InVOLuntary]

You can understand why they didn't shoot down over land. Think large crater. However, tidalwave would have had to have been a topic of conversation when bringing it down over water.
