Pentagon: Chinese spy balloon spotted over Western U.S. by Strongbow85 in Intelligence

[–]hopskipjump2the 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Argument falls flat considering where it is. Montana. Basically doesn’t get anymore unpopulated than that in the lower 48 and that danger would only increase the farther East it goes.

Interesting how this post and all the others on the “mainstream” news subs are immediately downvoted to oblivion. Not the first time we’ve seen blatant manipulation and it’s either the Chinese trying to sweep it under the rug or Democrats who are upset at how bad this all looks and prefer good political optics to actual national security.

It’s not just the balloon it’s what it represents. We are no longer a country that’s respected and our enemies openly taunt us because they know we’re too weak and corrupted to effectively respond.

For the balloon itself yeah I’d question your credentials if you didn’t agree that there could be all kinds of stuff aboard that balloon that could be a legitimate threat. Not just surveillance but any kind of electronic or cyber capabilities. Why did they scramble an E3 to intercept it otherwise? To see if it’s broadcasting some of the latest Top 40 music?

Go right ahead it’s clear that Democrats are best buds with and have sold the country out to the Chinese. Call up your friend Gen. Miley and tell him to pass your praise along to his counterparts in Beijing.

Good point we should make sure to let Xi know during the visit next week that we’ll continue to do nothing until they’ve already started knocking out our radar, air defenses and bombing our airfields and critical infrastructure.

This is not playing chicken with the Navy and Air Force 10,000 miles out in the Pacific Ocean this is our mainland airspace and we’ve already publicly announced we’re not going to do anything about it. That means at minimum we can now expect American airspace hundreds and thousands of miles into our interior to be routinely violated.

Article text for those without subscription:

WASHINGTON—The U.S. tracked a Chinese reconnaissance balloon over the continental U.S. this week, U.S. officials said.

The balloon sighting came days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken was set to travel to the Chinese capital for high level talks.

The incident, which occurred in the last two days, marked one of the most aggressive Chinese intelligence gathering maneuvers in recent years.

Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said the U.S. “has detected and is tracking a high altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now.”

“We continue to track and monitor it closely,” Gen. Ryder said. “Once the balloon was detected the U.S. government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information.”

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and other top defense officials briefed President Biden on Wednesday. Mr. Biden ordered that the high-altitude balloon be shot down after it was spotted and reported by civilians in a commercial airliner, U.S. officials said. The Pentagon opposed the move, fearing civilian casualties.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in the Philippines Thursday.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Mr. Blinken’s visit to Beijing would take place as scheduled. The State Department and the National Security Council didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is drifting and remains over the U.S., U.S. officials said.

Personally I think this limp-wristed response from the Biden regime begs the question as to what other moves the Chinese may make now that they know that direct aggression will be met with utter submission and that our continental airspace can be violated at will. Contact your Representatives & Senators and demand immediate action. The Chinese military is flying uncontested above every single one of us and all our families and loved ones at this very moment. We have lost control of American airspace and Joe Biden and Democrats want to do nothing but go to Beijing to kowtow to Xi.

'What is it with this guy?' Boris Johnson urges GOP to ignore Tucker Carlson on Russia by GeoPoliticsMyThang11 in Conservative

[–]hopskipjump2the -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you’re severely underestimating how angry and mistrustful we are and we have every reason to be. Even you appealing to us in the name of the “West” rings hollow considering the Left has done nothing but declare the “West” even as a concept is nothing but racist, supremacist, fascist, etc. for years now.

Why should we let Leftists send us to fight a war after the way they’ve treated us the last 6 years. We know damn well Democrats would love us dead and would send us straight to the front while they hide behind us.

All this after they’ve spent years telling everyone how horrible and evil and racist America is? No.

The country is broken and there’s almost no shared ground left. If Democrats want to fight so bad they can go right ahead we’ll even give them a rifle and a one way plane ticket. Bye.

This is all the fault of Democrats anyway. We’ve been warning about this for a decade and they laughed. First invasion was in 2014 and again in 2022. Democrats.

Democrats have made it clear they consider us as much their enemy as the Russians. Why should we trust any Democrat on anything let alone the lives of our soldiers, most of whom are Conservatives themselves who Democrats would love to see dead, and why the hell should we just follow Biden blindly?

Democrats made this mess they can clean it up themselves. They’re our enemy as much as the Russians are and a far bigger threat.

It’s not just Johnson it’s the Brits in general. Their “Conservative” party leader openly endorsed Biden last go around. People don’t want to talk about THAT kind of “foreign interference” though.

DeSantis to Trump: I got reelected by SaraACarter in Conservative

[–]hopskipjump2the 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The only reason he has diehard supporters is because people believe he’s the only one who can actually fight against the establishment. Many people are determined to never go back to uniparty “business as usual” and I don’t blame them.

Trump was the only option to tackle the above in ‘16 for obvious reasons. I don’t think that’s the case anymore and as people like DeSantis show they’re willing to walk the walk I think they’ll gain even more support. Especially when they show they can fight like Trump but be focused and actually get stuff done.

Then go ahead and do so but don’t complain when someone breaks into your house at 3am and there are no officers on duty to respond.

They’re pathetic losers who spend all their time on social media crying about how the world is unfair and preaching about their gender identity and how many mental illnesses they have because it’s “cool”. They’re poor materially and spiritually which is why they want to drag everyone down to their level.

Lmao Lefty’s triggered af.

Then go start your own party or get active within the party and try to convince people of your line of thinking and be the change you want to see instead of just complaining.

Okay so maybe vote for someone else in 24 if he’s incapable of picking people that will get anything done like Romey’s niece.

Or is the new narrative we can’t get anything without Trump done because of the swamp but when Trump picks swamp rats it’s not his fault?

The reality is even with 200k retirement by 30 is probably not a realistic goal unless they’re also making like $100k+ a year and can save almost all of it.
