WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials said Monday that improvements ordered by President Joe Biden to strengthen defenses against Chinese espionage helped identify last week’s spy balloon — and determine that similar flights were conducted at multiple points during the Trump administration.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that after Biden took office, the U.S. “enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect.”
Speaking at the event hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Sullivan added that as part of those efforts “we were able to go back and look at the historical patterns” and uncover “multiple instances” during the Trump administration in which Chinese surveillance balloons traversed American airspace and territory.

Another armchair “general” who couldn’t fight pack of girl scouts.
WHAT A CROCK OF SH!T!
Lie du jour.
Improved surveillance: Somebody done lookeded up, duh.
Exactly. Hell, NORAD can track a small sleigh over the entire planet.
Surveillance balloons see and track everything except themselves.
Like Kamala didn’t know you could see craters in the moon with your bare eyes.
When you read this kind of verbal diarrhea from Jake the Snake, aided and abetted by AP, you have to appreciate just how stupid they think the Average American must be. And the sad part is, so many Americans will swallow it down and think it’s ice cream.
I thought they weren't any threat from previous statements by Brandon.
He might not be much of a fan, because the propaganda being constantly fed to us to keep the "Biden Administration" afloat is usually juvenile, criminally stupid, and easily fact-checked.
Improved bribery of Brandon caught his son in the cookie jar but nothing will come of it, as usual.
What a crock!
Sullivan is a pathological liar and fool. Our continental and islands radar systems, plus those on ships as seas (both ours and those of our allies) and space satellites, provide worldwide coverage of enemy aerial launches.
Why use an explosive warhead on a missile which can destroy the balloons equipment which we would want to look at, when a couple bullets can create enough holes to let it more slowly descend in one piece, over land or water, for a softer landing and less damage to its electronic?
Our military is led by a bunch of lying fools and cowards at the PC/Woke top.
OOOOOOHHHHH,NOW I GET WHAT THIS WHOLE “BALOONS WERE INVADING US EN MASSE” WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE.....
NOW, THE BIDEN SUPERHEROES HAVE CORRECTED ALL THAT AND ARE AWARE OF INVADING BALOONS.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!
