    was not a threat at all, but we wanted to recover it before it left our airspace to recover the object

    It's been postulated the Chinese were very blatant with this act because they believe Biden is a weak president. I think an equally plausible explanation is they sent spy balloons previous times during the Trump administration with no repercussions so said F* it.

    The story was fake and slanderous. Which is why the sources are anonymous. The left ideology believes in the concept of starting falsehoods and outright lies in a calculated and systematic way.

    I love that the reds have been reduced to attacking the POTUS over a balloon since the economy is kicking ass. LOL

    No need to defend Trump, if there were spy balloons from 2016-2020, it most certainly would have been reported. The only administration with spy balloons is this one.

    Biden is using shameless propaganda, as he always does because it's all he knows.

    If it was true, we would have heard about it a long time ago.

    Anytime so-called news will not name their source it should be a red flag to any rational thinking individual.

    But people's confirmation bias creates a strong incentive to just believe whatever b******* comes down the pike.

    So you would rather believe anonymous sources who refused to go on the record? Consider the question rhetorical because the answer is known...

    No president, in the history of our country, has lied as often or as blatantly as Donald Trump.

    How about when Trump says, "People are saying..." or "People have told me..." or some variation of that.

    Under Biden, Putin is in danger of losing power because of our strong reaction to the invasion of Ukraine.

    Under Trump, Putin gained power by having Trump believe him over our own intelligence agencies.

    There's probably more people in that area of the Atlantic Ocean where they shot it down then there would have been in Wyoming should they have shot it down there.

    There's also no indication the military did any such thing. But don't let that stop you.

    It's far more likely that the balloon was sending its information in real time directly to China. Otherwise why would they have continued to fly it across the country

    Damn right “What about Trump?”
    No matter what Biden says or does (short of killing someone or starting WWIII) any criticisms of him by anyone who supports Trump are going to be hypocritical nonsense.
