@bobclendenin @RepMTG She's not commander in chief, just an elected representative

@Willy_TX @RepTroyNehls These countries will fall to China's camp if events like these continue. When allies lose confidence in US, it would bring the collapse of US dollar hegemony, and US economy would collapse under the $32 trillion debt load

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@Willy_TX @RepTroyNehls Set aside the military significance, incidents like this and disastrous Afgan withdrawal make US look weak in the eyes of allies. Over half of the population in South Korea, Japan, Australia no longer believe US would defend them when war occurs. It was 20% 10 years ago

@The_Old_Crank @JackPosobiec Say what? So a criminal can break into your house, look everywhere, but you can't stop him or you would 'start a war'?

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@pebbs4th @BJP130 @vivavelo @mikepompeo It turns out he is correct. The intelligence agencies have been actively working to undermine and hinder Trump for all 4 years of his presidency. The Russian collusion hoax and lying about Hunter story being Russian disinformation are all the works of Intel agencies

@realDaveColunga @atensnut The military with $800 billion annual budget can't shoot down a balloon? Then how can we expect them to shoot down nuclear missiles and bombers when the real war happens?

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@Willy_TX @RepTroyNehls US spy planes and satellites do not fly into Chinese airspace, and visibly seen from the ground for days. China does this to showcase US weakness to the world

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@louloubell2020 @RepTroyNehls How's that has anything to do with not shooting down the spy balloon? Who's the commander in chief now?

@bianchazhuyu 日本，韩国，澳洲，台湾，所有美国盟国看了这个，还有狼狈的阿富汗撤军，还有信心美国会不惜动用核武器保卫他们吗？

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@OfSoZdl51FLyBog @sohfangwei 是吗？和上次阿富汗狼狈撤军一样，出这样的事，难道不是国防部和白宫一起丢脸吗？让盟国怎么相信美国能保护他们？在自己领土上飘荡的敌方气球都对付不了，还指望它用核武器保护欧亚大陆几十个盟国？

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@Shaun93542786 @DineshDSouza OK. But the matter of fact is that this is similar to the disastrous Afgan withdrawal, it makes US military look weak and incompetent. Embolden enemies, discourage allies. That damage is done, regardless of whether they are hiding information or not

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@SallyWaverider @atensnut Ballon can collect data that satellites can't, because it's closer to the ground and can contain a lot more equipment.

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@JohnLLowenthal @DineshDSouza There is military consideration, but also a political one. This makes American military look weak and incompetent, losing confidence of the allies

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@JohnLLowenthal @DineshDSouza That's why they left $80 billion military equipment to the Talibans right?

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@cadiva666 @DineshDSouza Not everything can be measured from satellites. Spy ballon closer to the ground and much bigger in size has its advantages

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@gatewaypundit That's what $800 billions annual defense budget gets us? Asking citizens to go look in the sky for enemy spy balloons?

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@DineshDSouza Even if its a weather ballon, the weather data collected are crucial for analyzing the US Intercontinental missiles capabilities too. And a lot of these missiles are in Montana. China does everything on purpose, not by accident. Biden is weak and naive

[FredC @FredC62534739]

@AERFacebook @IngrahamAngle Nothing flying over Chinese airspace like this ballon does. Chinese bombers and warships often come close to Alaska, Guam, Hawaii too.
