Oh Good Grief. US Military Fears China May Reach Balloon Wreckage Before They Can Get There – Proper Salvage Vessel Won’t Be There For Days
Gateway pundit ^ | 2-4-23 | Jim Hoft

You just can’t make this up! After allowing a China spy balloon to float across Alaska and the continental United States for the last 10 days, the US military finally shot the balloon down after its work was accomplished.

Now the US military is concerned they may not reach the balloon wreckage before China can. The balloon was shot down 6 miles off the coast of Carolina. They can’t be serious, except that they are.

The US military will not have a proper salvage vessel at the scene for several days.

These clowns are making a mockery of the United States.

Isn't 6 miles within the territorial waters of the US? Wouldn't the navy or coast guard be available to keep xi's boys away?

There is absolutely ZERO information on NORAD’s website, about the balloon intrusion. Funny... that-

https://www.norad.mil/

NORAD proudly proclaims their interceptions of Russian aircraft on their website.

It’s almost as if the US military is under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party.

Biden wants them to take the evidence.

6 miles out is not international waters either.

I have a buddy in South Carolina who owns a fairly large fishing boat.
Maritime salvage law says finder is owner, then they can sell it to the Fed. Gov. at whatever price can be agreed on.
At only six miles out this thing should already be on the docks.

This was my first thought but I also figured the Coast Guard would be on the way before they shot it down.

It’s GP so I take it with a grain of salt, but if this were true.......... WOW.

Kindly continue to ignore the millions of Chinese-made drones that have flown in US skies.

Joe ordered this top-notch recovery team out immediately, in order to recover the Chinese spy balloon wreckage.

They had plenty of time to get a vessel there
This doesn’t sound plausible but it’s Xiden Admin so who knows

It's not like they didn't know they were going to do this right from the start.
