CBS News on Tuesday night reported US Intelligence actually saw the spy balloon lift off near China’s south coast and tracked it for nearly a week before it entered US airspace.

“U.S. intelligence watched the Chinese spy balloon as it lifted off near China’s south coast, meaning the U.S. military had been tracking it for nearly a week before it entered U.S. airspace. Longer than originally know,” CBS News reported.

“What they saw was this balloon heading east from China towards Guam and Hawaii, but then it took a sharp northward turn – a beeline towards Alaska!” CBS reported.

Remind me again of the penalty for Treason.

There is no such thing as U.S. intelligence. Those goons support Hillary Clintoon and engaged in insurrection when they tried to overthrow Trump for her. Bunch of treasonous bassturds.

[TigersEye]

Jeez! Obviously they wanted it to cross the U.S. and collect intelligence.
It’s stupid to think otherwise.

[Saltmeat]

Our military knew when this one lifted off the south China coast. So why did the Biden administration pretend that they did not know anything about it until it was over Montana? Joe was paying off that $5,000,000 “free” loan the CCP gave him and Hunter.

[TigersEye]

And now they’re using this as a reason to put us on a war footing with China so that is also intentional and premeditated.

[lee martell]

So they just passively watched, sitting there staring with mouth open, doing nothing in reaction.

Whatever helps the government class maintain dictatorial control over the government and all the money it can print…mostly that money ends up in their personal bank accounts. The American government class has killed the golden goose and is dining on the carcass until it can’t feed them any longer. Then they will disappear with all their grafted money.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Here’s my shocked face. 😮

[McGruff]

This story is getting too hot. Watch out for a Wag The Dog distraction. A big one.

[Wdempsey]

American Intelligence is an oxymoron. This administration is treasonous,our military has been criminally compromised. This nation can not withstand two more years of these enemies of the Republic.

[steve86]

I told everyone NRO assets had it tracked from the beginning.

[Eleutheria5]

Traitor, traitor, trial and hang you later.

[Gene Eric]

I’m sure the sequence of events were not as trivial as presented.

[sport]

Now. At this time. For betraying the United States of America to its enemies. No penalty. Only promotions. Such as being placed in the White House. Being elected to Congress. Being made General or Admiral. Since the American voter put obama in the White House two times consecutive and would have done it three or more times if he had run. America has loved its traitors. And still does. And if he decides to run in 2024, he will be elected again. The proof is that America loves its traitors. America only prosecutes and persecutes its Patriots. As illustrated by the treatment President Trump is receiving.

“This nation can not withstand two more years of these enemies of the Republic”.

You’re right, no nation could endure the 24/ punishment the USA is undergoing.

[Peter ODonnell]

With Biden in office, it’s probably pointless to speculate on good reasons to let the balloon drift across so much territory, but in theory (without meaning to endorse any):

— prepare disinformation to be scanned from the air

— gain valuable intel from observing how it operates

— hope that confirmation of our military assets would deter aggression

But I imagine the previous posters with less flattering reasons are probably correct.

[frank ballenger]

If true this also means Biden took orders from China to keep quiet until the long journey coast to coast was completed.
