China's Balloon Stunt


Michael Clarke, with a quick look:


And a report on the shoot-down, and a brief overview of a few ramifications:


Interesting how Republicans have been jumping up and down screaming about Biden not taking action, and how this could never have happened with Trump in the White House - except for the inconvenient fact that it did happen - like 2 or 3 times - when Trump was in the White House.

But as soon as it becomes pretty obvious that either it wasn't quite the threat they need us to believe it is, or they start to look a little panicky and idiotic, they just drop it and move on to the next "crisis" in the rotation.

They never ever say, "This seems like a threat to our sovereignty - we should all get together and present a unified front so China doesn't get the idea they can pull this shit whenever they want ..." All they ever do is shit on Biden, or the Pentagon, or the CIA, or the FBI, or your dying Aunt Tillie in Pittsburgh, or whatever the fuck they think they can use to score a few points.
