CNN Commentator: Chinese Balloon A 'Three-Story, Giant Middle Finger, F-You' To USA
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/05/2023 3:25:28 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

In a very lame appearance on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg gushed that the military had done a "terrific" job regarding the Chinese balloon, and generally praised his boss's handling of the matter.

But one member of the show's panel had a decidedly different take.David Urban, a CNN commentator and former adviser to Donald Trump, called the balloon:

"A three-story, giant middle finger floating across America, courtesy of the Chinese government, right? And I think that's really what Americans take umbrage at. The notion that the Chinese can come here and just say, f-you, we're going to do this, and you can do nothing."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Those USAF pilots be cringing at the notion of praise from Biden and the Butt-man.

For shooting down a freaking balloon?

Clueless does not do justice to the utter cluelessness of these jerks.

Next they’ll be trying to give medals of heroism to the pilots.

Every day we get a new embarrassment.

God save us.

We all know that Milley is on China’s side, he outright told us so. He said he would alert China to anything the USA was doing regarding China to give them a heads up.

Let's not be too hasty here.   CNN buttressed their assertion by revealing a closeup photo of the Chinese spy balloon.   See it for yourself:  Click here   to view CNN's closeup image of the Chinese spy balloon.

China has taken the measure of the specimen in the White House. A farce and they know it. We are in grave peril.

Medals all around is a well established government custom after an egregious screwup.

Joe like Pike on Star Trek....

Big problem for the US is when the gag memes and gifs cannot be distinguished from the Biden and Hunter true documentary scenes.

For those of us who are old enough to have clear memories of living through the 1930s & 1940s, it is deja vu all over again...

The threat is the same, the color is the same, and the tactics are almost the same...

The major difference is that the chicoms attacked us with the devastating virus that killed hundreds of thousands and destroyed the American economy and got away with it...

There have to be some old japs my age who are going crazy with jealousy at the chicom strategy of expansion and attack...

Those stinking japs were ground down by the massive ability of the American manufacturing base and the unrelenting patriotism of most young Americans...
OTOH, the chicoms realize that the U.S. cannot come close to surviving another non-nuclear war...

Even worse, the last few generations of Americans have been indoctrinated in government institutions to cling to subservience and cowardice...

Does anybody think that today's young people (under 40) are going to fight and die for this country?
Today's Americans are built on their right to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Good to see that there are still some of us around, and with vivid memories of the late 30's and WWII.

The CNN CIA/FBI expert gave it a 2 out of 10 no big deal rating.

Fails to mention that it might be a bioweapon spreading virus.

That’s why they waited until it was offshore with prevailing winds taking any particles into the Atlantic.
