Menendez: ‘I Think We Succeeded Largely’ in Keeping Spy Balloon from Getting ‘Incredible’ Info. and Minimized Potential Info. It Could Get
Breitbart ^ | 02/15/2023 | Ian hatchett

On Wednesday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) called for the U.S. to take on China “in a much more robust way than we are” and responded to a question on whether he’s confident in assertions that the U.S. was able to jam the spy balloon from transmitting information to China by stating that he thinks the U.S. “worked to minimize any potential signatures that our sensitive sites had that could have been picked up” by China’s spy balloon and he believes “we succeeded largely in avoiding” the balloon capturing “incredible information.”

Co-host Bianna Golodryga asked, “U.S. officials stress that they have confidence that they were able to jam any sort of information that this balloon may have been able to transmit back to China. Do you have confidence in that?”

His statement clearly indicates, based on his history of lying and communist associations, that we gave away the farm to the chicoms by not shooting it down over Alaska...

Hey, the guy has been in so much hot water. How does he keep getting reelected? This is ridiculous. What I see from the spectator perspective is, the Left wants a two front war, with China and Russia so they can conquer it all and establish a one world government. Am I wrong?

He doesn’t know what China has learned.
Some speculate that China is going to eventually force into one their balloons some legitimate scientists that we will respond to by shooting it down in order to create an off the scale level of outrage.

A Biden hire is stupid by definition and tradition. I wouldn’t believe a word out of his cretinous mouth.

Clown world. China is trolling DC and they have gone into full on farce mode.
F-22s dogfighting balloons. It doesn’t even pass the straight face test. They are imbedded at defense sites and universities from coast to coast. They have a space program running well. They have a rover sending messages back from the dark side of the moon....but they spy using balloons like it’s 1901.

And DC goes into a panic. Norad says it might be ETs, at the same moment China protests us shooting them down.

And all right at the moment Biden has secret documents found in his Corvette, and t was exposed that DC blew up Nordstream. DC is utterly corrupt. Clownworld.

Menendez is correct! The whole goal of the Chinese spy balloon was to take pictures of Atlantic Ocean water. Biden thwarted that evil plan by shooting the balloon down off the coast of South Carolina.

I personally think Biden should award himself some kind of medal. What did they award the balloon-busters from WW I? That would fit.

Any foreign entity entering our sovereign airspace should be blown out of the sky. Anything less makes us look weak.

The left wants to kill off around 7.5 billion of the current population to establish a one world government.

Why do you think the Georgia Guidestones were recently destroyed as mysteriously (under 24x7 surveillance) as it was erected?

Meanwhile, an anonymous source was overheard stating, “We are confident that the chicoms received no more classified information that that which was already paid for”

Acting as though possibly recording devices were on that balloon, not transmitters.

How quaint, MORON.

When you compare “largely” to something like “gigantic” it puts what Menendez said into better perspective.
