Quoting: CharlieFoxtrot 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.

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. I'm flabbergasted. |

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!!! |

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.

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. |

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] https://imgur.com/wypXs00 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.... Ask Alice when she's 10ft tall This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead. Elon Musk |
