Recent reports of a Chinese surveillance balloon hovering over the northern United States have sent shockwaves through America. Who knew that one balloon could expose that Joe Biden is a coward.
The balloon was spotted over Billings, Montana, flying through the Aleutian Islands and Canada before reaching American soil. Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed that the United States government had detected and was tracking the balloon, and was taking steps to protect against the collection of sensitive information.
In response, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin convened a meeting of senior military and defense leaders, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, NORTHCOM/NORAD Commander Gen. Glen VanHerck, and other combatant commanders. While Austin was traveling in the Philippines at the time, the leaders reviewed the threat profile of the Chinese stratospheric balloon and possible response options. Ultimately, they decided not to recommend taking it out kinetically due to the risk of the debris fields and the potential danger it brings to people on the ground.
These leaders then presented their recommendations to the President, who was briefed and received a “strong recommendation” that the balloon not be shot down. They then tried to blame Trump!
A senior administration official confirmed that “instances of this activity have been observed over the past several years, including prior to this administration.”
Really?
Trump would have shot that thing out of the sky.
Biden is a coward.
It is pathetic that the President has effectively allowed an obvious spy overflight of our country by an enemy foreign power. The Chinese sent a balloon either because it could do something satellites couldn’t, or as a show of strength. Either way, Biden’s decision is cowardice.

“Everything is fine. Everything is normal. Don’t worry about the Chinese spy ballon hovering over our nuclear silos. This is fine. This is ok. You can barely even see it. Go about your day”

This won’t happen but the Biden administration would have a little talk with Trudeau. Not only does it appear the balloon went through Canada there appears to have been another incident.
