Making the point it should have been intercepted and collected as soon as it hit Alaskan waters.

...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.”

As if their satellite cameras don't tell them what they need to know. The idea of "buttoning down" for a ballon surveillance camera at 12 miles but not "buttoning down" for a satellite at 100 miles is ridiculous.

The Chinese had already mapped normal comm's. The balloon forced the sensitive ones to go quiet and therefore reveal themselves.

The CCP balloon wouldn't have "forced" us to do anything out of the ordinary if we had shot it down the instant it crossed the Alaska border.

Idiot!!

I am positively enraged we let the CCP kick us around like this.

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

Incompetence is a compliment. They are in fact, traitors to the Constitution.

They sent it to Mexico. Then the Chinese assets in Mexico sent it on to Red China.

That is my bet.
