1:27 During a portion of an interview with CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin released on Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that in response to the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the country last week, the United States ensured that its nuclear bases “were buttoned down” and that “movement was limited and communications were limited so that we didn’t expose any capability unnecessarily.” Austin also stated that the buttoning down applied to nuclear bases all across the United States.
Martin asked, “You don’t know what it was looking for, but you certainly know what you were concerned about it looking for. What were you concerned about it looking for?”

The entire senior leadership of our military needs to be replaced. They’re utterly incompetent.

The satellite was fine until the Chinese called Biden and told him that it had found evidence that would send Hillary Clinton to prison. After which, kablooey!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The Big Guy didn’t get his 10% until the Chicom balloon crossed the entire country.

Did China and Biden agree that Biden would look the other way when the balloon came our way?
That $250,000 SUPPOSED "LOAN" on Biden's house was the BRIBE, perhaps?
Or maybe HUNTER'S paintings brought in enough CASH from China to allow for complete passage of this spy balloon?

But it was unnecessary because stupid people in the Pentagon tell us the balloon didn’t send any data to China.
I guess technically it sent data toba satellite that sent it to China, so...

Why don’t we use buried fiber optic cables as a back-up for communicating to nuclear facilities?

But they’re too stupid to shoot it in Alaska first
Thanks for clarifying that. Now back to pandering to fags

You’re quite the pilot, Mr. Chang.
And judging by your camera, you’re into photography.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Why would you even come out and say this? Dumbassery abounds. The Chinese can shut us down by sending balloon after balloon.
