Communication is key between sucessfull defense or a failure one. Remember Tora! Tora! Tora!
US. Airforce is highly incompetent, they never intercept unknown craft NEVER. That's a proven fact.
The general seems to be deranged 🤔
Heads need to roll. Chief of army staff needs to immediately resign for allowing this major blunder!
We need to fire these people I’m sorry these guys are doing a terrible job
Hypocrites
It should have been shot down in the Pacific Ocean. Not the Atlantic Ocean.
Why they used balloon…cus they were cheap and Getting away of it stupid!!!
In the end …. China “owns everything it wants on the USA;” and “still has a trillion dollars of US currency in their vaults.”
Figure, we had to shoot it down. Nothing personal; it's an airspace sovereignty issue. Most importantly, no one was harmed.
Dallas, Texas 💙
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 .
They really dropped the ball on this they should have shot it down the second it broke us airspace. They allowed it to film every nuclear site and go accross the entire us…
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 .
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.
What Nord Stream pipe lines.
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.
Is senator Tester working for the Chinese???
Up up and awayyyyyy in my beautiful balloooooooooooooooon.
The hearing on the made up balloon story brilliant stuff
Shoot it down , AFTER it has transmitted all the information. That is why Hunter Biden was paid huge sums of money by the Chinese. It was not " FREE " money.
Hahahahaha scared of flying balloons could be exactly just that, a balloon and nothing else. The Chinese are twisting knickers now.
Spy balloon that is!
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!!!
:Liars,Liars !!!
THERE IS NOTHING HONORABLE ABOUT Ms. DALTON.
I find it very difficult to believe that China with all its technology is using a weather balloon to spy sounds very unlikely to me
Sen Murkowski was pisssssed
these people waste a lot of time on this crap
Psyop
