Two US Air Force fighter jets downed the balloon Saturday afternoon off the South Carolina coast.The Chinese spy balloon drifts above the Kingston, NC area.Rep. Mike Turner , chair of the House Intelligence Committee, also blasted the White house for what he called a lack of “urgency” in dealing with the Chinese balloon,on Sunday that it should have been brought down immediately when it entered US airspace in Alaska.
“That’s a crisis that certainly should have had an urgency to the president and not just wait until this gets to the Atlantic to take it down,” he said. “They knew what this was. They know what the balloon is, what its capabilities, maneuverability is from having observed previous actions by China,” Turner said.
As the US waited for the object to get over the Atlantic, “we also took immediate steps to protect against the balloon’s collection of sensitive information, mitigating its intelligence value to the PRC,” the official said, referring to the People’s Republic of China.
Why would China send a slow moving ballon to spy on America and risk destroying their business partnership with US and why does US hate China so much?
I don't know about the motivation, but clearly we are in decline. Just look at the occupant of the Oval Office, last night's narcissistic festival on See BS, and the attempt to normalize the mutilation and perversion of children. Not good. A spiritual awakening is needed. 🙏
Wasn’t it just reported that there were at least three instances during the Trump admin that they did nothing about? Talk about decline, thank god we have different leadership
ashleykaycromer 👆👆👆
Most definitely
Donald Trump summed up the pathetic Rubio perfectly. No reason to listen to him, ever.
Trump is reason why anyone thinks we are in decline. A country that would elect him has major issues. Going to take a long time to turn that around.
Rubio is a joke.
Three balloons were put up by China during 45’s time. realDonaldTrump did not let them make the headlines nor could he shoot down China owned Trump branded spy blimps…. Never piss off an ‘investor’
Everything is made in China what do you expect to happen.
The balloon had completed it's mission before it went down,that's plain truth
Of course they are laughing at the 🤡in office
Rubio is a moron … the 2nd most spineless member of the Senate… behind RunJoshRun
Indecisive decision making.
Happen 3 times during Trump’s administration 😂😂😂😜
3 times under realDonaldTrump
And Rubio is leading that decline
America's so-called middle class is slipping into poverty status while China's middle class is growing. There's a major indicator of decline. We can thank greedy corporations like Nike that wanted to cut cost by sending jobs to China instead of keeping them in the US.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rubio's spine has been in decline since his first debate with the Orange Toddler resulted in his complete emasculation on camera.😂😂😂😂😂
And he would be an example of the decline
The CCP balloon costs USD 1,000. The U.S. missile costs USD 600,000. How you ganna fighting with CCP if they release 10,000,000 balloons?
🛑To everyone who is saying this happened before, the former Director of National Intelligence has stated that is false information! 🛑 Stop spreading fake news like your network! 🛑
New Yorkers explain this to everyone
All of the videos of the spy ballon being shot down posted to TikTok is the greatest irony.
Rubio is a clown. I can't believe I was considering voting for him.
They're right..
China is funneling money to a lot of politicians and government officials. He need to prosecute these people for treason.
We need that smartass from the Pentagon to be in charge of responding to China. Something like “anyone is welcome to swim out and look for the balloon”.
Seems reasonable.
And we are.
But what about the three that went through in trumps presidency lol
Nothing says GOP like disparaging the US military
No shit who can take a president serious that need’s permission to leave a stage and also who calls everyone president but himself.
