And people like this ^^^^ are why they spread the lie that they know will soon be disproven.

Well at least MTG wants to investigate the Pentagon:roll: and find out why Trump was never told. I'll bet he was told, no matter how much the Chronic Liar with Zero Credibility, denies it.

Even Biden said he wasn’t briefed the first time it happened during his administration.

Yeah, after everyone found out about it and he still let it travel across the entire US.  I know, it was probably going to destroy all of the cities in Alaska or Montana if they tried to shoot it down any sooner so don't let anyone try to tell you it could have been done much sooner.

Biden gave the order to shoot it down days before the pentagon  thought it was safe to do so. Were you privy to the same threat assessment that they were? 

Damn there is some dumb in this thread

"They went undetected,” a senior administration official told Fox News. "This information was discovered after the [Trump] administration left.” Only then, the official said, did the Biden administration piece it all together and realize that the Chinese had been sending massive balloons over the U.S., and nobody, citizen or military intelligence, noticed.

 

Yeah, the Biden administration pieced it together, on Wednesday or Thursday of last week when they were getting killed for their weakness.

Biden wasn’t informed about the balloon until last Tuesday when it was already over Montana. He gave the order to shoot it down the next day.

Wrong, he was briefed a week ago Saturday when it was over Alaska or Canada. I already posted that. The misinformation you all are spreading is alarming.

"On Tuesday, as Biden darted from Washington to New York City for an infrastructure event and a fundraiser, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, informed him there was a Chinese balloon floating over Montana.”

Missed four previous balloons. Four.

Alleged by an anonymous source.

BS.

I read the article you linked. Nowhere in that article does it dispute this account.  Maybe you can point out where you think it does? 
 

Such misinformation!  It wasn’t a spy balloon. It was a gender reveal balloon that got loose.  Now that poor kid isn’t gonna know whether to go by he/him, or she/her.  

The April 2022 report, titled "People’s Republic of China High-Altitude Balloon,” found a Chinese spy balloon "circumnavigated the globe” in 2019 – while Donald Trump was president – at an altitude of roughly 65,000 feet, and "drifted past Hawaii and across Florida before continuing its journey,” the US Air Force document states.

The Air Force intelligence report is the first indication that the US military was aware of Chinese spy balloons well before the latest incident.

Another Democrat administration lie popped. 
 

 

 

 

Everyone needs to chill on this balloon.  I don't think it's knowable exactly when or if Trump was informed about these balloons on his watch and I don't think it's knowable exactly where the balloon was once Biden was informed.

It's like a 5th round pick in 2012...maybe it was AR, maybe it was Howie, maybe it was some random assistant.  You can only be sure that they don't want you to know when they knew.

It's just hysterical that the white house and dems want a victory parade for popping a balloon and the republicans want Biden branded a traitor and a coward for not popping it 15 states ago.

C'mon everyone.

The military conceded Monday that it missed at least three suspected Chinese spy balloons that passed through U.S. airspace and territory during President Donald Trump’s presidency due to a "domain awareness gap.” Air Force General Glen VanHerck, head of U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command and Northern Command, said that those three incidents were only discovered after the fact using "additional means” for collecting intel. The Biden administration’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the U.S. enhanced its surveillance of territorial airspace after Joe Biden became president. "We enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect,” he said. Several Republicans have taken stabs at Biden for not shooting down the balloon earlier; Biden said he wanted to shoot it down but followed the Pentagon’s advice that "we should not shoot it down over land, it was not a serious threat.”

But it was a crisis, I tell you. A crisis.

Moderation isn't really a CVON thing but I appreciate your effort here.

It wasn't a spy balloon it was a balloon carrying the newest disease from Wuhan. ;)

This is nothing new. Japan launched killer incendiary balloons at us during WW2.

Still waiting on the evidence that Biden knew about the balloon that was shot down before Milley told him last Tuesday. 
 

I’ve concede that we really don’t know when or if trump knew but chances are he wasn’t told. 
 

 

Trump administration didn't find the previous Chinese balloons because they weren't looking.
