Chinese spy balloon carried explosives to destroy itself, was 200 feet tall, weighed thousands of pounds
The Chinese spy balloon was 200-feet tall, weighed thousands of pounds and its payload was the size of a jetliner, a top Pentagon official said Monday.

Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command, divulged new details about the downed balloon on a call with reporters Monday.

His description followed a briefing by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who defended President Joe Biden's decision to wait and shoot down the Chinese craft until it was over South Carolina's coastline on Saturday.

Does anyone actually believe the U.S. couldn't prevent this from happening? This is such a joke.

So I can't confirm whether it had explosives or not. Anytime you down something like this, we make an assumption that that potential exists,' said Air Force Gen

They said that even though it went down in US waters our military said they probably won't be able to retrieve it before the Chinese do. WTF?! The only way that could happen is if the chinese got a heads up on the shoot down coordinates. Our country is lost. Its so fucking obvious, yet the media either lies or ignores it all.

They could've had a nuke on there for all we, floating a emp over the center of our country. They say a emp burst over the center of country would disable the entire grid for a substantial amount of time ultimately causing the death of 90% of Americans. But they wait to shoot it down for the safety of people on the ground? BULLSHIT!!!

Yea.

Moreover, if the US military is into what pronouns should or shouldn't be used, CRT/BLM/anti-C02, and thinks the rainbow flag is right up there with the US flag, is its judgment likely to be honest, logical, reliable?

I realize that the hard left of Beijing is even harder left than Washington DC is. But in certain ways, America's "leftys" are more fucked in the head than even China's "leftys" are.

Thanks, Liberals! You put the "socio" into sociopathic.

Man! That fish story just gets bigger with every retelling of it.

Nonsense like this from the Daily Fail obviously means the MSM and Pentagon are both lying to save face for Biden.

The entire charade was a "wag the dog" to cause Americans to not spread the bust of the pfizer director. That story was big enough to need big time action to shut it down.

The US preventing this is not the issue.

The issue is that China did this while the US government sat on its hands...and the entire saw this.

I do not mean "world" as in how westerners define world (Europe, Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Canada, and the US).

I mean the other ~ 150 countries + the countries mentioned in the sentence above.

The US looked very weak...incapacitated even.

This would not have happened 2o years ago. No country would have ever dared. The Soviets would not have went that far lol

The US became China's bitch on a global scale.

Recreational hot air balloons are on average 60-80ft tall and 40-60ft wide.

Many commercial balloons would be about the same size as this one was.

Of course OUR government keeps changing it's story on this thing. Think about this simple premise, why would anyone send a hot air balloon so big and WHITE in color that could easily be seen by THE NAKED EYE and yet that balloon was being used to spy on us? It's nonsensical on it's face....
