    First and foremost, and politics aside, I am in no way saying a Chinese balloon didn’t drift over the US when Trump was in office. The question is how the hell do we know all of a sudden they did? With the way the left was trying to impeach him the whole time, this would have been a huge deal for both sides if it happened. I’d have to imagine the MAGA clowns would have been outraged!

    Sounds like the usual excuse: “but blah blah did it too so I’m not the only one at fault” you’d hear from a 6 year old.

    That didn’t age well.

    Any comment on Trump having this happen several times and refusing to shoot them down?

    If you're enough of a Cro-Magnon, everybody in the world looks like a crazy woke liberal.

    I don’t care if this happened before and Trump did nothing. I wouldn’t have lost sleep if we shot it the moment it entered US airspace or let it float back to Beijing. I think the whole affair affirms China is not our ally or partner but an advisory. If I am already paying 20% more for things it may as well be from an open economy, not Xi CEO for life of CCP inc.

    I understand how this looks politically but this doesn’t change my view of the Biden administration overall actions toward China.

    A lot of middle aged MAGA women on social media complaning about how they can't fly their drones over certain air spaces but China can with their spy balloons.

    When the CCP sounds more believable with their statements... What a world we are living in right now.

    Miley is not in the military chain of command yet seems to continually insert himself into military decisions.

    Don't forget it was the woke generals that made trump give up taiwan as well



    Why do people continue to give folks like @basso goodwill as if they argue in good faith. These folks are disingenuous hacks who bootlick the republican establishment.

    Was it the WOKEE generals that issued ivanka trump 12 patents during the trade deal deliberations

    https://apnews.com/article/north-am...ivanka-trump-0a3283036d2f4e699da4aa3c6dd01727

    It's always the WOKEEEEE person's fault.
