Thoughts on Chinese Spy Balloon?

@no1marauder said
I don't know where you get your info from (did Jimmy Dore do a podcast on this?) but it's completely wrong:

"Navy divers were working to locate portions of the debris from the Chinese spy balloon that a U.S. fighter jet shot down 6 miles off the coast of South Carolina, defense officials said Sunday.

NONE of this would have happened under Trump. And had it, he would have pushed the button when it was over Alaska/
He warned them to not mess with us over his term, and they were scared of him. Note that all y'all are saying, in effect, that China was really casual abut invading our skies. Not scared of Biden?

It now appears that such fly-overs did occur on Trump’s watch.

It's funny that nobody saw these balloons when it happened.
Also if they went undetected as Biden claims, then.....how would they know?

According to Kim Iversen the USA planned to use spy balloons to spy on China. This is well worth watching despite the annoying wait at the beginning.

So now the DOD suspects every weather balloon is a spy balloon. Projection.

My favorite part is the political piss fight over whether Dems or GOPers are soft on balloons. Oh the irony.

$800 billion per year for our military isn't enough? My thoughts are that it's too much.

That’s what the jobless figures are telling us Joe not to mention the drop in some prescription drugs and the investment in infrastructure rather than opting for yet another gop tax break for the disgustingly rich.
Yeah Biden what an idiot

My thoughts on the Chinese balloons is that they are intended to be seen so that the US and other countries get the feeling that China's reach extends to them. This is intended to increase Chinese prestige more than actually gather useful data.
