President Biden “learned about this other object last night … he made a decision this morning to take it out of the sky.”

  1. Not military surveillance, But Civilian surveillance by China. Military surveillance of US technology for exploitation, is almost pointless due to various safeguards put in place during Soviet-days cold war. These balloon surveillance seems for China gaining local Political, Financial and Social control over US and Western world public. Example, China takes stream pictures of land developments around say a local town; Then it uses it to get their local gophers (pet-poodles), etc to buy shares, surrounding lands, etc, Or, simply buy land to block further development ; Then blackmail business and/or politicians. Politicians/Business who first fall into the trap, are in it forever, due to cycle of blackmail ranging from exposing them as "Chinese enemy collaborators", to simply extorting them if a politician's car was found on the property of a local mafia Don, etc. Same surveillance can be used to blackmail mafia dons into working for China, by threatening exposure of their activities to local law-enforcement (or even blackmail law-enforcement itself). It can be effortlessly used to black mail individual families too. Possibilities are limitless for China, and was made so due providing them technology, mineral resources, and money for free, from 1980's onward. The fault lies nowhere but in nations like Australia, Europe, etc politicians and so bureaucrats and business-magnates alike, for their own narrow personal greed (and other reasons), and shoved the public under the Maoist-communist catapulted train-wreck.

  2. The US has an annual trade deficit with China of over 375 billion dollars last year alone, Washington gave tax breaks to corporations who gutted all American manufacturing for communist slave labor countries for higher profits and now people are complaining about balloons?

  3. this is a false flag operation

  4. NBC = now broadcasting communism

  5. Despite the economic downturn, I'm happy ☺️. I have been earning $60,200 returns from my $10,000 investment every 14 days

  6. Yes, you guys are crazy

  7. Roswell was a balloon also.

  8. Joe Biden owes the American people an explanation as to why the administration has no regard to the national security of our nation.

  9. ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS

  10. so the story that it was too dangerous to shoot down the first chinese balloon was false. are any of these "reporters" going to follow up on that little detail?

  11. That’s us sports balloon. I’m watching very comedy world

  12. The real violator of the privacy and safety is Assumption university of Thailand. Assumption uni installed tape recorders hiding in the teachers office and uploaded our voice chat stolen from our office assigned for two. The uploading by AU without awareness costs us our life.
    Hundreds of teachers have no right degrees there to maintain rate of failing 50%.

  13. Something is fishy when the military is unable to identify or even to give a description of an object they shot down other than that it was the size of a car. I would think the whole story was invented to boost Sleepy Joe's ratings.

  14. I have trust with mine government

  15. Russia will send million cheap balloons to bankrupt America soon. Politicalized balloon threat is a going to hurt America at the end. What if there are hundred balloons passing by daily , are you going to shoot them all down ?

  16. 7 miĺlion subs but only 200 something likes. Give them some love folk

  17. China psychological warfare. Winning without fighting. Each week, sending a balloon into US airspace. Operations to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of Americans. The Art of War – Sun Tzu 🎈🎈🎈

  18. What about the 25 million Chinese who live in America, what about the 2 billion Chinese cell phones that are used in the US. Your fb is spying on you . Almost everything in the us is made in china . Most of all are products come from China. Now tell me how a Satellite balloon is a spy? Nasa is the number one helium consumer on earth.

  19. I do have insider information about this "other balloon". A friend's friend's friend happens to know someone from the Kingdom of Klingon.If you are a connoisseur of Star Trek, Klingons are from the planet Qo'noS somewhere in a galaxy 3000 Billions light years from earth.

    I am led to believe that from the Enterprise, an spaceship was sent to Earth to heck out the intelligent beings. The Klingons are very surprised that there are intelligent beings in the cosmos other than them. They were told that in the kingdom of United States, there are literally crawling with super intelligent beings. When the" K't'inga battle cruiser" approach somewhere close to the kingdom of America,it got shot at by an unfriendly spaceship by the name F-22. Unaware of the hostility of the F-22 spaceship, the" K't'inga battle cruiser" was caught off guard, and couldn't return fire to defend itself.

    As a result of the hostile fire, the" K't'inga battle cruiser" is now lying somewhere in Alaska, north of America's territorial water, or territorial ice because the the water is now frozen. Kilnons are extremely unhappy with earthlings' unprovoked hostility, and is going to return with another spaceship, this time it is prepared for every eventuality. Klingons told my friends that those Americans had better watched out when picking up the now damaged K't'inga battle cruiser" because it is booby-trap. May be this message should be passed on to the Pentagon?

  20. Keep the Yankee mushrooms in the dark and feed them with manure (sht) !
    Most Yankees believe what their government and MSM tell them anyway !

  21. The repugs soooo upset over a balloon! Reminds me of Jack Nickleson as the Joker; " my balloons my balloons! he shot down my balloons! 😀🇺🇸💙

  22. Just a sidewinder Joe? Balloons are scary, next time use an AIM-26 Falcon just to be sure.

  23. The missing piece here is the DOD sharing what they know and why they advise the prez., AS IT SHOULD BE. The American public is arrogant to think we are owed explanations in real time.
