“...This Administration is composed of stupid people....”

Without a doubt, but so is Congress for the most part.
Both are just reflective of the majority of the American People....you know, the 81+ million soccer mom-types from all across the fruited plains that voted for these stupid jack-ass clowns.
But. hey, look at the positive: we no longer have any “mean tweets” and our fuel prices are now sky high. What more could we ask for? Oh, yeah...some good, old-fashion inflation. /s

“Why waste a sidewinder on an incredibly easy target?”

What I was thinking.

You don’t have a powerful enough gun for an object at 58k feet.

Not a military error when the DC resident is a clown.

Guess you’ve never served our country or learned enough to know 99% of the time they follow orders and the other 1% even if it was the right decision ends usually in regrets also.

Not sure about the credibility of that YT video.

If there had been any spy balloons within 10 miles of our borders Trump would have ordered it shot down, and I’d have also expected a press release minimum.

The video is credible, he’s a former Naval Aviator flying the F-14, plus he reported what the Biden Administration was saying, not what the Trump Administration was saying.

The story about Chinese Balloons over the USA during the Trump Administration has been reported widely in the media, even Fox News was reporting it, the information came from the Biden Administration, which means Ward Carroll is reporting what everyone else is reporting.

Is serving in the military the only way to serve your country?

No, but in order to serve your country you have to first love it. I was simply trying to highlight it was Biden’s orders as CIC (not the military) - if you are going to assign blame then please care enough to get it correct.

Nope, poor eyesight kept me from it, also my sister told me if I did join I didn’t have to worry about dying on the battlefield bc she’d kill me first - joking of course...

RE: An official told the Post that Beijing was embarrassed by the incident.

“They’re in a very tough place,” the official said.

Chinese Communists are self-centered and arrogant sociopaths.

When the world discovered Mao had murdered millions, was he contrite and asking for forgiveness? Don’t make me laugh.

“Estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims through starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions.”

Yes, don’t think the socially awkward Chinese Communists haven’t played Whack-A-Mole. (Started by the Japanese).

One report said one of the balloons had a 2,000 pound payload the size of jet airliner. Seems far from the initial reports.

And, as we predicted, carried self-destruction explosives so we couldn’t tell what the Chicoms knew. Sneaky to the end.

Great gif.

Reminds me of one arrogant female Chinese student assistant who said me: “The main trouble with you Americans is you are not serious enough. In China we are serious.” I never saw her smile.

Must be serendipity. See the post I just made right under yours. lol

I would say to the Chinese who think like that student assistant;
Stop being so serious or I’ll give you something to be serious about. :)

Triple-A from the ground, maybe not. But the Raptor's guns would do just fine from a quarter mile away.

Umm...one was over Canada, which got taken down on Friday, one was over the US which got taken down on Sunday, and one was over Latin America. This was all widely reported on Friday with the exception of the US sham biased media. Do these morons not realize that we actually have internet?
