Why would Biden allow the mission to succeed?

Meanwhile, Xi showed off his new Hunter Biden Gallery...

“specifically ordering the payload targeted.”

Is that true?

I would assume we have similar balloons floating above nations in the “grey area” below space, but above commercial aviation.

Talking about Chinese balloons means talking about everyone’s balloons - and intel-types don’t like to do that.

Don’t think for a minute if one of these supposedly “undetected” balloon incursions actually happened during Trump’s tenure that it would not have been leaked to the press and used to pillory Trump for his inaction. There is no credible evidence that any Chinese espionage balloon transited the US during Trumps administration period. Yet the number of supposed balloon incidents during Trump’s presidency that have been retroactively found keeps growing in the press. Where is the evidence and what is the source? There is no question about the recent Chinese balloon as NORAD knew about it and it was seen by hundreds of civilians.

Not making any excuses for NORAD, but a B2 bomber weighs 160,000 pounds, without fuel or payload. It has the radar cross-section of a bird, pretty much undetectable by radar. A balloon is also not detectable by radar.

It seemed like we only heard about the balloon from visible sightings in Montana.

My father, a former commander of the 552 Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing is rolling in his grave. What has become of our military is a disgrace.

It’s impossible for me to believe it was “unimpeded”.

As long as Beijing Benedict Biden is in charge our face off with China will be delayed.

Once again... Show me the Twitter posts.
If it had happened people would have seen it. If they had seen it they would have commented.

So, show me the Twitter posts from 2017 to 2021 where people are talking about seeing a big ol balloon floating across the USA.

It doesn’t have to be Twitter, I’ll take fakebook, instagram, Youtube, Reddit, Quora, I will even accept ChiCom...eh sorry I mean TikTok.

Just show me the posts.

"Biden administration "reveal" that similar balloons violated US airspace during the Trump administration.

The biden misadministration should be able to provide a date, time and approximate location for all of those violations.
