The initial Biden administration response to the Chinese spy balloon was to cover it up. The only reason we found out about it and took action was because a Montana resident’s images of the balloon went viral.
Now it’s been confirmed that the Biden administration was never going to tell Americans the truth.
Administration officials at first hoped to conceal the balloon’s existence from the public, and from Congress, according to multiple former and current administration and congressional officials.
“Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” said a former senior U.S. official briefed on the balloon incident.
Anyone being the American people.
Privately, Biden administration officials complain that the political outcry over the balloon was wildly disproportionate to any threat it posed to U.S. national security.
In their view, because China was so angered and humiliated, the damage done to the relationship between Washington and Beijing was a far graver threat to the U.S. than the balloon itself.
“It caused so many problems,” one senior administration official lamented.
The real threat wasn’t China spying on us, the real threat was the American people finding out that China was spying on us.
This forced Biden to do ‘something’ about it, shoot down China’s spy balloon, which humiliated China, and ruined our stellar relationship, which presented the real threat.
We’ve seen this same logic during the Cold War and during the Iran Deal arguments. We tend to call it appeasement. It’s effectively treason.
The argument here is that we have to accept anything our enemies do because it’s more important to maintain our relationship with them.
The end result of that is Chamberlain promising peace in our time.
When a government covers up for its enemies because it believes that its own people learning about the enemy threat is the real problem, that’s a treasonous regime that serves the interests of the enemy.
“We tend to call it appeasement. It’s effectively treason.”
Absolutely correct!
I heard Beijing Biden replaced his American flag lapel pin with a Chinese one.
So what new and improved pathogen were the Chinesas spraying on us from above ?
Steven:
You got it all wrong. It was just a balloon cruise of Chinese tourists taking pictures for the family album.
A little humor for Christmas day.

Truly disgusting how the biden bunglers have distorted FACTS and TRUTHS!! In their INSANE view, REALITY is REVERSED! They need a DOSE of REALITY before a SANE COURT!!
I find it incredible that too many Americans seem unaware that we’re losing our ability and our resolve to keep US citizens safe and secure. Meanwhile, the Dems bend over backwards to ensure that illegal residents and habitual criminals have free rein to do as they please. Well, at least we’ve got a choice of who are masters will eventually be: An intervening foreign power or an autocratic regime who has long since thrown the Constitutiion out the window.
Failure to notify congress was dereliction and an evasion of congressional oversight. It isn’t hard to imagine the uproar in congress and the msm if Trump did this.
Don’t give them any ideas! That’s the next thing they’ll try. 🙄
Recent polls show that foreign policy isn’t even at the bottom of the list of issues important to the American voter.
But it should be #1 on the list. Certainly in the current administration, the destructive, treasonous foreign policy is driving an intentionally destructive domestic policy.
This connection should be hammered into the brains and pressed into the hearts of the voters by those in or running for public office who can connect all the dots and will be heard.
Food, shelter, clothing, livelihood, safety, crime, health, education, your pocket and your home are all profoundly affected by the mindset used for both foreign and domestic policy.
I’d like this foreign-domestic dynamic to dominate the November ‘24 elections.
Judging by the ‘22 results, I can’t see any other campaign emphasis strong enough to break the left’s worsening stranglehold.
What is it going to take before this administration is removed in order to save our country?
Joe Biden surely would never keep the Chinese bombing of Pearl Harbor a secret. He won’t have to. He gives them what they want without their needing to attack.
In this (mis)administration, is there ONE Patriot?
ONE member that places the interests and secuirty of the USA first?
There was (Chris Magnus) but he got fired.
Isn’t he an advocate of sedition cities and states?
