  1. The people in charge of this , the military and these idiots speaking to the senators are like robots they all skirt around the answers and speak in the exact same terms of their lying bullshit. I would clean them all out and get real patriots and people who believe in their country's safety in there . Just another example of the Democrats incompetence and it starts at the top with Biden . Never thought that i would agree with Susan Collins. By the way China is much more of a threat than is |Russia . They throw the kitchen sink at it but not this .

  2. Senators have to stop babying this woke lot . Call them out on it and like Senator Murkowski feel like using more colourful language . Use it if it makes your point more meaningful . Even the Democratic governors are pissed which i appreciate on this occasion . The government has to be willing to replace them all because of their incompetence and willingness to ignore the threat until much later than it should have been ignored .

  3. Translation: We need to be putting more money in the hands of defence contractors, greater powers to the intelligence services etc. I've heard it all before. These people are bought and paid for.

  4. I would guess the US decided to let the balloon take its course because they knew more than they are letting on about its capabilities. Wouldn't surprise me if it was hacked and monitored to calculate China's intentions. The US Military have an insane budget.

  5. Why would the Chinese need a balloon to spy survey America? Theres enough Chinese in America working in all the major sectors already, including the military, Nasa, CIA, FBI, ATI, DEA, DOD, Congress and so on. I doubt a balloon would tell the Chinese anything that they dont already know about America!!!
