This guy is doing CYA for the Thief in Chief.I agree. They'll say anything to deflect bad news about Brandon's administration to Trump.

I didn’t hear that they did, and f-18s are always scrambling to go play with the Russian bombers, so I’m sure they’d see a damn balloon 200’ tall.

The truth is out there, but we do not intend to find it.

OK now, just to bring us all up to date, I see that the Chinese balloons penetrated U.S. air space three times during the Trump administration undetected, then they were detected but nobody told him because Orange Man Bad, then they were detected but nobody knew it until later, and now that they were only detected by intelligence agencies who failed to pass the word on to the DoD who didn't detect them. Until just now. When they detected them.
Man, am I glad they cleared that up.

If you didn’t detect them how do you know they were there?

This guy is doing CYA for the Thief in Chief.Yep. He is close to retirement and does not wish to retire as a major general - big retirement hit!

So first Alaska...then Canada...and then down to the Lower 48. The Chinese sure got their money’s worth with *that* weather balloon.IIRC Montana and the Dakotas are where all the missile silos are.
To: Billthedrill
LOL!!!Give it to the chinks...they’re smart. If they launched balloons before and NORAD did not report it, there’s a record. If they did not....there’s no record. Lots of people are going to be looking for those records, if they exist, or not, and the whole sad US gov’t will be at each other’s throats!

What d’you bet they were detected but it was agreed not to tell Pres. Trump. Why? Two possibilities: either they were worried Trump would react in a way they disapproved of, or they’re cooperating with the Chinese. This might explain Milley’s mysterious phonecall to his Communist Chinese counterpart.

Screamin’ Mexican invaders and their allies freely charging across our border. Russian balloons floating over America. Meanwhile, O’Bama and Holder’s “17 intelligence communities” are still out there trying to overthrow President Trump. Dumbasses.

We can fix this. Station some Airman in picnic chairs and have them look up! If you see a balloon the size of a football field in the sky, report it. We are depending on you!
