The outrage over the Chinese spy balloon passing over America would never have happened if the Biden administration had anything to say about it.
US authorities were well aware of the unidentified object that had entered American airspace on Jan. 28, that had then left and re-entered over North Idaho on Tuesday. But with such a high-profile trip at stake, keeping it on the down-low was key.
The trip refers to Secretary of State Blinken’s appeasement field trip to China.
The Biden administration knew it had to exercise extreme caution especially in what was a heated political environment ahead of 2024 elections, with Republicans agitating on which party could strike a harder or tougher line on China.
Party before country. Always.
The president ultimately decided to let the balloon continue on its way as the US sought answers from the Chinese embassy in Washington, but they struggled to obtain satisfactory responses.
What response were they expecting? Weakness invites aggression.
For now, the White House opted not to inform the American public. Events, however, soon forced Biden’s hand.
On Thursday afternoon, the Billings Gazette, a local Montana paper, published a photo of the balloon – meaning it was only a matter of time until national media would pick up on the report and the Biden administration would have to face questions.
The only reason China didn’t get away with it is that it the story made it into the local media. That force Biden’s hand and led to the balloon being shot down.
Next time around, Biden’s people make take precautions to see it that does not.

“must take,” fits. Sounds like an auto-complete problem.
Ugly Sid says
It sounds like a failure of censorship.
That means expansion of internal security is the only reasonable action.
ron says
Maybe the spy baloon is used to “paint” targets for Chinese missiles?
Spurwing Plover says
We cant afford Biden anymore lets vote him off the Island

The dominion machines won’t allow that sorry.

It could be that there’s been lots more spy balloons all over the world and not a single one was actually noticed.
It’s also possible that half the Chinese migrants all over the world are just waiting for instructions from Beijing.
Christopher Riddle says
One can only wonder at How Much Blinken was going to Give “The Chi-Coms”???????????
RAM says
How come no brilliant mind in the US thought to outbid China for Biden’s services?
Ugly Sid says
Why should a lighter than air craft capable of carrying an EMT device be allow at all close?
How desperate are the Chicomms?
Will the next balloon have a payload?
Can we access Biden family bank records?
How desperate are the Bidens?
Spurwing Plover says
During WW II Japan lauched Balloon Bombs against us one was responsible for the deaths in one area at the time and many of those things could still be out there they were suppose to ignite forest fires and other things
BLSinSC says
I read an article that alluded to THREE such incursions during PRESIDENT TRUMP’S term but no other info was included – did he have them shot down? Were they hovering over our ICBM’s? Is it really TRUE?? The media has a “way” to include little “blurbs” about PRESIDENT TRUMP into every article detrimental to biden!
CowboyUp says
I don’t believe the msm, especially when they use the ‘sources,’ like clapper, that lied about hunter’s laptop.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Weakness invites aggression..” That’s for fucking sure.
And the Beijing Biden admin shot down the spy balloon after it accomplished its mission and crossed over the entire US? After it was too late?
I’m ashamed to be an American. Bitch Biden has made us all weaklings.
