"Biden says he ordered Xi's Spy Balloon to be shot down on Wednesday but was overruled by military until the surveillance aircraft was over water"

Um, that's not how the chain of command works. Or is that how it works now?

BTW, Wednesday it was over CONUS, and had supposedly been tracked well before that.

Conclusion: this was allowed to happen.

Yep, this is ocnfusing.

Yes, the military advisors, Joint Chiefs, etc. may well have said it was risky to take it down over land, for various reasons.

But, Joe is the Commander in Chief. He’s their boss, not the other way around.

Biden is constantly saying he can’t do this or that because he will ‘get in trouble’. Sounds like the Military is in charge, not Biden. Just like some people said was the case a long time ago. Funny.

Yet again,ByeDone reveals ,he's not in charge!

Good or Bad about this, it's obvious we have no Commander in Chief with the guy saying he's CIC!

That is where we are and have been with this FAUX Prez!
