International Chinese Spy Balloon spotted flying over the Billings, Montana

[cottagecheesefan]

Yesterday the narrative was "See! Trump allowed this to happen also!"

Today, "yea of course the DOD was right not telling Trump cause he is aggressive and would not have let a Spy Balloon go accross the entire US"

lmaooooooooo!!

So are people still mad that they waited until the thing was off the coast to shoot it down? Seems like that was a pretty good idea.

Plus, there (hopefully) was a concern that firing live missiles in US airspace may case an issue if:

1. The missile missed the balloon
2. The missile punctured the balloon, but didn't detonate.

Don't want to accidentally missile our own people.

Montana is pretty sparse isn't it, they could have done it there couldn't they?

they knew of it over the pacific going over the alucian islands and through Alaska, both of which are even more remote.

But as we are learning, the DOD/pentagon is allowing these balloons to spy for years now and don't tell the commander and chief?

What the hell? Mark Miley, Mattis, these people are corrupt. Remember Miley going behind Trump's back to contact his Chinese counter part in the CCP to warn of Trump?

And we learn that at the same time, they have been allowing spy balloons?

Isn't this shit pretty much treason? lol

It's 48 in population density.

But, I would assume it's easier to predict where the balloon's payload would land falling vertical, than a projectile (missile).

I've had it with these god damn balloons. Right now if someone asks me about Chinese spy balloons:

 

[idrankyourbeer]

I am just saying yesterday we were told that there was never any balloons under Trump, and when the Pentagon said there were 3, the pentagon was lying.
Now Conservative media is saying yes there were balloons but Trump did not know.
I just seems weird the narrative shift, and I think it will shift to Trump knew but Donny either cries fake news, or spins him knowing into being a plus not a negative.

i'm surprised they didnt stick with their original narrative and be like "yeah theres no way that it would have ever happened. trump is so alpha male that the chinese would never have the balls to send any balloon's over on his watch!"

instead they go the beta cuck route. where "okay it might have happened, but everybody else except for trumpy and his lapdogs knew about it."

i mean shit, shouldn't the president be informed about these kinds of things? i'm sure he was. but theyre gonna keep shifting and spinning with all these stories that keep changing every day. you know one thing doesnt change? the truth.

I was surprised to hear it happened but then the news that he wasn’t informed. Now that they didn’t want to inform him because of his reactions.

The only reaction that is “correct” is to destroy or capture as soon as the airspace is encroached upon.

If you actually look at what has come out this far, take a step back and look at it, it is prett my shocking to be honest. Unless there is further clarification about some of this

They did not just not tell Trump. They don’t tell directors of national intelligence about a foreign intel mission from the CCP? Did they tell Pompeo?

On the surface, it truly seems treasonous and some third world rogue military

dont forget the debris field

This was filmed last Friday in the town in Montana where the balloon was sighted earlier. Were there two balloons?

I may lean slightly right, but this whole situation was a nightmare PR wise. You're telling me there isn't one SF guy that wouldn't ride his own balloon up there and slice theirs with an assault rifle?

Someone call Tim Kennedy.

this made us appear weak, period. It may be a PR only issue, but it's still an issue

It rained 7 miles of debris when they took it down. What would the PR issue be if they dropped a few hundred pounds of metal on top of a daycare center in Missouri or something? They fumbled when they didn’t stop it from ever reaching our shores.
Anyway, in terms of PR, nobody will give a shit about anything but the what team they are on and the economy when it comes time to vote. And even then, only soccer moms and the degree of success of voter suppression will matter.

Moot. It flew across the ocean, where it could have been shot down, and it also flew over vast open areas, where it was also safe to shoot down. Regardless, I want somebody in the press to explain the YouTube video I posted above where people in Billings Montana heard an explosion, then proceeded to film some fairly large and on fire falling out of the sky. Billings Montana is where they saw the balloon earlier in the day.

 

[MicroBrew]

At todays W.H. press conference..

Sec. of State Anthony Blinken said this: China, you should not have flown a balloon over the United States, that was the wrong thing to do.

A few moments later...
Dark Brandon interjects: fuck around and find out !

You should take this tape to your local news stations and demand an explanation.

Well, I mentioned they fumbled by not stopping it from reaching our shores. And, once here, about vast open areas or whatever, why take the chance? The military decided it was better to wait, I’m having a hard time second guessing them on that, given their massive advantage of information. But you do you. Enjoy your search for answers from the press.

"I can tell you that if we were aware that China was sending a balloon that was gathering intelligence and was maneuverable and could go over our military sites and hover over those sites and gather very sensitive intelligence, that that would have been unacceptible, and it should be unacceptible. The United States, we have our sovereignty, we have our air space, and we don't allow spying within that airspace. Period."

Yes it does. And it is not just an "anti-Trump faction," it is a faction formed with the objective of blocking any serious threat whatsoever to the MIC. If Bernie or Tulsi had gotten elected, it would have behaved very similarly. It knows the majority of voters wish to break up their party and fundamentally end the IC/Sec State system as it currently stands. And there was just NEVER any way they were going to let that happen. I got tired of talking about it so don't very much any more but people (including many Lefties and Libs who fancy they're now OK with that system when not long ago they despised it) have no idea how fricked up the whole situation is. MFers actually think DT and Kari lost AZ. *smh*. Runbeck is a Deep State run operation.
