Biden never tried to block the balloon, they paid good money to Hunter for this unprecedented access.

Call it what it was: A Biden gift to the Chinese Communists. The balloon could have been eliminated when it reached Alaska. Obviously, it wasn’t. For certain, the Pentagon is a mess, as are our armed services. And it happened in two years.

I still don’t believe the Chinese would use that absurd looking thing to collect secrets. Isn’t the first rule of spying to be secret and unassuming?

The Big Guy was paid off to let it go all the way accross. POTUS is seriously compromised.

Why did they bother with a balloon when all they had to do was dress up in drag and walk—I mean, sashay—through the front gates.

"Isn’t the first rule of spying to be secret and unassuming?"

Not necessary if the 'leadership' of the country you're spying on is compromised. By allowing this to happen, imho the CCP ws probably able to map out power and communications networks underlying our military on CONUS. Sort of like mapping out Pearl Harbor and carrier locations with the help of FDR.

Not shooting it down for 6 days, was a large re-payment from the Biden Crime Family, to the CCP.

Don't forget distraction and redirection too. While we were watching the barroon, thousands crossed the southern border, Many were chinese nationals.
