Shoot them down like the 3 they never saw?
The instrument package in the one that was just shot down was supposed to be the size of 3 large buses.
At least Biden was tracking this one.
Trump missed 3 of them that went by.
Or are you still shilling for trump's fuck ups?
Every event he has he still repeats lies he's been telling for years. Originally Posted by Tigbitties38

it's a narrative. BIDEN SAVES AMERICA FROM COMMUNIST AERIAL INVASION!!


BAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAAA

White House: Improved surveillance caught Chinese balloon

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials said Monday that improvements ordered by President Joe Biden to strengthen defenses against Chinese espionage helped identify last week’s spy balloon — and determine that similar flights were conducted at multiple points during the Trump administration.


White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that after Biden took office, the U.S. “enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect.”


Speaking at the event hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Sullivan added that as part of those efforts “we were able to go back and look at the historical patterns" and uncover "multiple instances” during the Trump administration in which Chinese surveillance balloons traversed American airspace and territory.


Several Trump administration officials have have said they didn't learn of Chinese surveillance balloons during their tenures.


Before Monday, U.S. officials had said that at least three times during the Trump administration and at least one other time during Biden’s time as president balloons have crossed American airspace, but not for this long. In those instances, the United States determined the balloons belonged to China only after they had left U.S. airspace, said Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of U.S. Northern Command.


“I will tell you that we did not detect those threats,” VanHerck said of his military command. “And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out.” He added that the U.S. intelligence community “after the fact” informed his command about the balloons.


Sullivan did not explain what specifically allowed the U.S. to detect and track the latest balloon where the previous administration might not have. Officials have said, without elaborating, that China has flown similar balloons over parts of five continents in recent years.


you can read the rest if you want to, you might since it's a "Biden saves us from Trump" trope which you'd probably like.


this is a narrative being put out.


BIDEN SAVES AMERICA FROM COMMUNIST AERIAL INVASION!!


BAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAAA
... Their bullshit story has changed 3 or 4 times already.

"Flew over 3 times when Trump was on" - EVERYONE has denied it -
so the narrative has changed to "We were able in the last 2 years
or so to piece together some information that it DID happen
without President Trump OR ANYBODY ELSE connected with the
Military or the US Government knowing about it."

... But you'll notice that they ("The Pentagon") surely DON'T
offour ANY actual PROOF or FACTS concerning this.

Gotta wonder IF Biden's "Pentagon" are the same fokes who
told us that Trump colluded with Russia and that the
Hunter Biden laptop is fake and Russian disinformation.

WHY would ANYONE ever believe ANYTHING they claim? ...

... The Nation of Humiliation! ...

There’s less denials now Salty. Some word parsing is happening. Members of congress including Mike Turner the chair of the intel committee admitted he’s been briefed of the Trump balloons. One over Florida and one over Hawaii. More info to come. The only story that’s been changing are folks in the Trump admin that initially denied it.

Because the intelligence community made this a priority at the direction of President Biden, we enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect," Sullivan said.

Mitch McConnell on FOX was asked about this just now and said he had no prior knowledge or briefings about Chinese balloons. Mitch is part of the "Gang of 8" along with 4 Democrats. where are the Democrats saying "oh we knew this about Trump!"

Hey blackman, have you been following ANYTHING? The woefully incompetent Biden team has been changing its story faster than Joe changes his diapers!

Here's how they've spun the balloon story from the beginning:

1. Whoops! Thank you Montana, for alerting us to that giant Chinese spycraft floating over Big Sky country... of course, we've known about it for a week... sorry, but we can't shoot it down because the debris might injure a few antelopes.

2. Hey don't worry folks, the balloon isn't spying on us... we're spying on the balloon!

3. Hey don't worry folks, we're making sure China doesn't glean any useful intel while its balloon keeps hovering over our most sensitive military installations vacuuming up all of our signals data.

4. Oh and by the way, just so you know... under Trump there were BALLOONS GALORE floating all over the USA!

5. Huh? You want to know how come nobody on the Trump team recalls hearing anything about that? Well, that's cause when Joe came in he told the intel folks to keep an eye peeled for those damn balloons! So they went back and looked and presto - they found BALLOONS GALORE!

6. What's that? You want to know how many such prior balloon episodes were there? Ok, the number is 3. Oh wait, make that 5! Oh dear, I just got an update - over 10!

7. So you want more details? Ok, we'll schedule a Pentagon briefing for this afternoon.

8. Oops! Briefing cancelled... but don't worry, Joe will brief the nation fully in his SOTU speech tonight!


Let's get real. Just as the dim-retards can't be trusted with the nation's fisc, they also can't be trusted with the nation's security.

Under these clowns, both our borders and our skies are now officially WIDE OPEN!!

Do you understand now? ... They're ALL being briefed
about it - NOW!

... Which is why this whole past balloon story surely reeks
of more Biden Administration BULLSHIT.

... New one coming "from the Pentagon"...

... They were able to STOP whatever camera and data transmissions
the balloon was making back to China. ...

... So, therefore - China didn't get any of America's secret data.

... We can all sleep better knowing THAT...
