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?”

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

How quaint, MORON.

Actually, I believe the globalist left loves the Chinese model of commie capitalism, surrveillance and control and I think they want them in control, along with them.
Russia is just a nuclear armed distraction that has vast energy resources they want to control and needs to be gotten rid of.
Control speech / information / communication energy, food and money and they control you.
Don’t even think they believe this “climate change” nonsense.
Do you actually think they’re going to give up their private jets, climate controlled mansions, Bentleys, Wagyu beef, lobster and armed security?
“Climate Change” is about control of energy resources.

Menendez is very relieved that they didn’t gather any intel over the Dominion Republic and that the balloon was finally taken offline when it got off the coast of South Carolina. Anyone gathering intel over the Dominican Republic will make Menendez uncomfortable.

You’re wrong. Liberals want a war with China so we can lose to them and China becomes our leader. How else can you explain the giving of all our munitions to the Ukraine, not replacing them, filling our country with the illegal Invaders who have no intention of serving in our military, I’m checking all our fighting age men with a deadly concoction that makes their hearts explode when stressed, draining our strategic oil reserves and running just about everybody away from the military so that the ranks are demoralized and low in numbers.

Menendez is an idiot. The WH has already admitted that it's engaging in multi-million dollar military operations to shoot down used car lot balloons.

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

Latest anonymous update reports arrays were actually homing pigeon cages.

Multiple pigeons were drowned in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in the
downing of the spy balloon.

Didn’t he and his brother murder their parents, then make up lies about them? Or was that his cousins?

I think Joe thinks he is the next one, creating the 4th Reich. After seeing the pictures from the speech in Philadelphia with the red background and the marines in the backdrop and him waving his hands, I thought of all the movie reels of Hitler. Joe was just like him. The world is going to punish us for being so Fascist
