Biden's Balloon Statement - Who's In Charge?
Posted on 2/4/23 at 5:14 pm

Biden indicated that when he was briefed "on Wednesday" he ordered the balloon shot down by the Pentagon advised against it.
Obviously, that statement is intended to shift blame from himself to the Pentagon for why it wasn't shot down.
The bigger question: Is he saying he wasn't briefed on this until Wednesday? It entered US airspace DAYS before that (Alaska).
Rather than shift blame, his own statement is a further indictment of his failed administration.
We'll watch them backtrack/modify his statement over the next few days. I'm sure he just "mispoke". Idiot.

America is run by a cabal of shadowy CIA and Pentagon figures.

So he ordered it shot down and the military said no?
Is that a coup?

Repeat;
This whole thing just doesn't make sense. I mean is China lead by leaders as stupid as ours? Or are they just feeling so bold that they would float a slow-moving target over the heartland of the US, just for grins? There was no real intelligence opportunities here, that would be worth doing something so obviously reckless.
Did they do it so pedo Joe could shoot it down and look like a strong, independent leader, just before the State of the Union address?
This doesn't pass the smell test.
What did China really stand to gain here?

Just anyone they can reach on the phone. Which is not easy to do I’m sure.
So most of the time probably nobody.

A general and corporations are in charge.
Isn't that what Republicans like?

I could understand them not telling him right away because there is probably stuff like this that is happening literally 24/7

I'm not a Republican, but if I were, I would use this as campaign material for sure.

So he issued an order which wasn't followed.
He's not the President.
