MSM LITERALLY COVERING UP FOR THIS DISASTER……WOW !
ZERO ANSWERS ZERO QUESTIONS TAKEN. DESPICABLE !
Dude you really asking if he overreacted by shooting them down and you were among those saying why hadn’t he done anything. What are you auditioning for 🦊 faux “news”?
god i hate that expression
Chuck Todd is a weasely leftist.
We do the same thing just google or youtube nasa glenn research center balloon mission launch
Copy cat shiet
It’s ridiculous for everybody and their dog to send things up into the air, without notification, without a way of tracking AND identifying things so our military can know what they need to defend against. Try not to overreact that will cause the military to not be able to defend our air space. Who cares! Bring it down. China is wanting their own space station after American tax payers PAID the contractors to write the software in Chinese so China and other countries could use the space station. Yes Boys and Girls it was a real contract that our government solicited when they were building the space station. Let’s not be foolish and think they would not try to exploit space in a militaristic way to get an advantage over USA or anyone else.
This all began with Bill Clinton and declassifying US nuclear secrets and giving them to CCP … (and we all remember Loral, Gore, and Chinese Buddhist monks with campaign donations)
Now that Hunter has authenticated his laptop and the content, is the DOJ-FBI investigating who “da big guy” is making dirty multi billion dollar deals with Xi Jinping, and asking for a 10% laundering cut?
Anything foreign in American airspace, gets shot down period!
@Kong Wee Peh I think that’s based on an individual leave .all over the 🌎
@Spot_of_Teayou say that like that’s fact, maybe they are just beginning to understand hyper speed and we happen to end up being the first plant they discover, then we shoot them down cause that’s what our spices is good at, I wouldn’t be surprised if we invented a gun to shoot at a fart
R u just coming out of a mental institute?
@JaysonBicBoi The fart gun was invented in 1839 by Elmer Fwooooot.
What if it’s from Canada? Australia? Or, beloved Russia?
You mean the US spies on other countries, no 😮, the horror 🙀
Do as I say, not as I do 🙄
At least when China drops the big one on us it’ll stop the mass shootings and you’ll no longer have to sell your soul to pay rent and eat breakfast!!! 😆
He keeps saying balloons. Except for the first object, the Chinese spy balloon, the rest WERE NOT BALLOONS. STOP SAYING BALLOONS Mr. Former Defense Secretary. It’s clearly not true. He keeps saying it and that’s all anyone thinks they are. They had ZERO qualities of a balloons!!!!! Stop trying to brainwash the public. They may not be a risk, but THEY ARE NOT BALLOONS (unless they define balloons with something other than any balloon attributes that we know.)
ONLY the fist one was a balloon…..
I for one am not ok with shooting down a UFO unless it has proven itself to be a valid threat.
Intergalactic space travel is no small task.
Intergalactic balloons take an extraordinary long time to get here.Those solar winds ? You know ! Got to pack plenty of microbiotic picnic boxes ?
Nobody is ever happy took too long and ït looks bad shoot to fast you look like a lunatic wth
Wth! Of course we should have shot it down 🤦🏼
There is no negotiation to be made in good faith when China wants to displace and replace the US from their standing in the world. They are not going to give up that any time soon.
That’s the thing about this country. If the president waits 3 days to shoot it down, it’s too late of a response. – If he shoots it down immediately he’s reckless. Like.. is there a magic answer so everyone will shutup? With all our new advances, hopefully we can find one soon.
America just needs a new president
TRUMP FOR 2024!
@Lewis H emphasis on NEW president. Why are these old men our only options
@Amber Arakelian Trump is the greatest thing to come out of america besides mcdonald’s. if you think you can do the job, why don’t you apply to be the next president?
can guarantee you wouldn’t have a leg to stand on
@Lewis H 😂
These replies are not an answer to the question,such shallow minded individuals
There’s a famous painting depicting geometric shapes flying around ….hint hint .
Is it not possible to capture these mid flight? Or at least observe them more closely before taking them down? I know its high altitude but still.. now we’re limited to scavenging for debris in rough terrain… we need military zeppelins if you ask me that can intercept and capture these in tact.
Lets Be Honest We All Remember This Record:-

America is a great country, no doubt about it. Its boldness, from within universities, colleges, big corporations, average merchants, consumers etc. etc. may have groomed an enemy for a return of kinda short-term earnings, benefits, savings, and then tries to put it down with ten + times of resources and money. But America is not alone, the whole western world has been doing this stupid thing in decades.
Keep shooting them down using a $400,000 missile. Why not use lasers?
what’s going on w/ nato https://youtu.be/4hpEnLtqUDg
President was right…
President Biden is not fit for duty remove him now.
More sun tzu strategy.. why use your own resources to develop a thing.. when you can just steal it when you hear its done.. or buy it somehow through intermediaries..
Welcome to The Putler Clown Army’s Special Twist and Release balloon animal program. 🤡
CHINA! THE BIG COPY CATS! AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
They were just watching how we’d react. That little piece of paper means nothing to no country.
I myself don’t believe anything anymore what the government says I’m beginning to wonder if the government is against the United States of America American citizens they have not helped anyone in all 50 States of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I wish our country of freedom and speech and the inflation way down and every bills and people pay for with the little bit of income to survive God help us all 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.I think it’s China and Joe Biden has other foreign countries involved.
Panetta bragged about doing surveillance along Chinese coastal international waters. Here is the question. When China developed the capability to do the same, or more advanced, would US allow China do the same type of surveillance along US coast?
No way, right?
Then don’t brag about inappropriate behaviors – things we don’t wish other people to do onto us. Legal, but under-handed.
When we lose our “moral high-ground”, we lose credibility.
Be descent.
You are one hundred percent right. I honour the achievements in American civilization and respect your freindly people. But I despise those who are ignorant, arrogant, bullying and irresponsible. It is ridiculous to talk about a China threat when China is always on the defense, when China is surrounded by military bases, wsrships and fighter planes.
Too late
China’s intention to invade the US mainland in the future
Secretary Panetta has served his country well. On both sides of the Isle, but this is a little more than a “miscalculation”. Inspections have always been a bad idea. Thoroughly abused by USSR and China.
Chinese copy everything!
China, s CCP means “Chinese Copy , Copyright Paste “
The United States should stop giving aid to Ukraine! We’ve already helped the best we could, and Ukraine is still losing the war!!!!!!
As Americans we should all be enraged and protesting against the astronomical amount of money and aid given to Ukraine. Money that Americans here at home could use to make ends meet! In my opinion politics has gotten extremely bad when student loan debt relief has to be decided by the Supreme Court, but the Government decides we (us) Americans have to pay for a war America shouldn’t even be involved in, in my opinion! This decision being made by our government in my opinion indicates a dis functional Government!!!!!!
Not to mention in the relief the United States providing Ukraine could potentially be provoking Putin which is also mad crazy, especially since Russia and China who both hate the USA seems to be aligning themselves in unity!
Our politicians seem asleep!!!!
These unidentified objects should read Russia Russia China !
Really how the chinese are. Can they actually do something. Crazy people, but they become a bit dangerous.
Biden: “These balloons are not Chinese, thanks for the 10%”
2:14, emotional Americans ruin the earth again
3:49, basically, biden and trudeau did not give China the benefit of the doubt.
4:40, China said what it was, it is not like China said nothing.
6:00, jealous is fiercely protective and vigilant over people’s rights and possessions.
5:58, sounds like a Cain architype.
And that is bad
Weak president
If we don’t know what they are how could Joe the weak president said they are not from China. Something don’t add up.
Never trusted balloons since the Wizard of Oz
But not to worry . I am sure to be nice . Communist China has had some technology the U.S corporations sent over to China in the last 30 years for cheaper labor cost . That they let Americans assembly some of the American technology being assembled in the U.S to then send back to them. And luckily the original blue prints sent to China for technology . That had been made into Chinese . They copied the original blue prints that were in English . Back to American companies to be able to read them in English to assemble creating a few jobs for Americans .
No nord stream news???
Anything the Chinese makes breaks. It’s junk.
These are an attack vector for an EMP weapon. They should all be stopped.
EMP more accurate with a missile. Requires a nuclear explosion to get EMP to be fired.
looks like a platform for a small missile to me.
Umm no. They [China] obviously want classified information. Even if there was an open inspection for outside countries they’d never be so open to share what’s classified. Why are we throwing China a bone here in hypotheticals?
So can you tell me why all the American media was throwing dirt on Chinese companies? Why did they try to drown them? Are better than USA companies? Why don’t they grow on stock market how they had to? Why is only the USA supported? Can you explain it to me? What are you doing? Media wake up. Many people are awake, and since the beginning of the your theater, they don’t want to play your games, they need see something else. Do better.
Current administration and joke of media platforms have gone “hog wild” on obstructing the truth to the people…. Wish you the best with understanding proper judgment and accountability will be served by God to all his people..
Anything flying in our air space should be shot down..these are SPY BALLOONS…TO BE HONEST CHINA JUST DIDN’T WANT US TO KNOW THAT THEY COPIED OUR TECHNOLOGY..
THATS THE HYPE FOR CHINA..
Joe biden DOESN’T know what’s going on, he’s just walking around and doing Nothing!!! Our COUNTRY is in real trouble and he DOESN’T care!!! He has a very close and personal relationship with the LEADER of china, THAT’S why he WON’T do anything against china!!
First, a spy balloon. When no substantial evidence is found, China copies our surveillance system. But was it a spy balloon? So, spying + copying. After waching this programme, who is the real boss? Who is the real threat? Who decides what it is? Shame on you!
That’s so stinking stupid
I think it has an impact to know what opponents like in everything that they do. Their deeds can be used both ways. I don’t want to go there ok? It could be fun to know their likes and dislikes are. Imagine out of the blue, you mention whatever their secret desires are!!!
美國炸北溪二號又炸氣球
Now we gave China a perfect example to shot down our surveillance flights which we do all the time in many countries including China.
Did China shoot down USA balloons sent ?
More shade for the Trojan horse Joe
