The U.S. was able to collect valuable information on China’s surveillance capabilities while observing the spy balloon as it traversed the continental U.S. for several days, a senior military official and senior defense official said Saturday.
President Joe Biden asked for possible military options for removing the threat of the suspected Chinese spy balloon Tuesday, but the Department of Defense (DOD) opted against doing so Wednesday over concerns falling debris could endanger civilians, officials said at a briefing Saturday.

LOL. Yes like how how much China owns Joe Biden.
There is absolutely ZERO information on NORAD’s website, about the balloon intrusion. Funny... that-
NORAD proudly proclaims their interceptions of Russian aircraft on their website.

I think the tipping point was '92. Back then, a presidential candidate's history of illegal drug usage was a big deal, and should have been a deal breaker.
When Clinton addressed the nation to say, "I smoked, but didn't inhale," I was personally insulted that a candidate would tell such a ridiculous lie. I thought, "He must think the electorate is a bunch of idiots." That November, he was proved to be right.
Jen Griffin is so obviously a CIA stenographer. She proves nothing useful at all.
120% not even crusted over.
Attempting to sugarcoat the DOD’s failure and to cover Jobama’s treason. End of story.
HAHAHAHAHAA And Hunter Biden knows all there is to know about running a Ukrainian gas company.
Oh that's it, valuable intel! The Chinese were bringing back Biden's confidential files. A file drop.
Milley. Did you give the Chinese a heads up call first before it was shot down? You F’n traitor…
Why go through the trouble of a balloon when China will just send infected citizens all over the world on commercial aircraft?
Baloney. They let it go down over the water so they would NOT find any parts or what it was doing. This also allowed it to complete its mission.
Horse Hockey!
after the Pentagon’s disastrous decisions on Afghanistan withdrawal, the miscalculation on Russia’s Ukraine invasion, i guess we shouldn’t be surprised at another example of weakness. Joe has managed to define our level of accomplishment downward in every way - but he can’t take away our ability to assess and reason. this was another debacle - and if the Pentagon is responsible, Austin should be GONE.
That is where I have marked it also.
Family and friends are sick of hearing it, but 1992 was when USA became a nation of reprobates
S u r e you did!
Think of all the valuable data the gooberment could collect if they let some country nuke one of our cities.
It’s like gain of function research. Lots of people die but, wow, the data is amazing!
Once you start gaslighting, you can’t just stop.
The only thing they could have done was take a bunch of pictures. All of which could taken in five minutes. Total BS. The real tell is how they waited to splash all the evidence into the ocean.
