According to a report from Fox News Digital, Internal State Department documents reveal that on Feb. 1, 2023, while a Chinese surveillance balloon was floating across our nation collecting intelligence, Biden officials were more concerned about how exposing this breach would affect our “relationship” with China. Seriously?
That’s right — instead of immediately shooting down this obvious threat to national security, then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his team were busy playing diplomatic footsie with Beijing. According to Trump administration officials familiar with the documents, Blinken fretted that public disclosure would have “profound implications for our relationship” with China.
Think about this. The Biden administration knew about this threat on Jan. 28 yet waited until Feb. 2 to inform the American people. That’s five days of silence while a hostile foreign power’s surveillance equipment drifted across our country — a threat we wouldn’t have known about had it not been for civilians who discovered it. It was only afterward that the Biden Pentagon issued its statement. It likely wouldn’t have said anything at all if it could have gotten away with it.
Traitors are everywhere.
And nothing will be done about it.
I guess they thought that would be a bit less obvious than sending them the intel directly.
Meanwhile the US Navy has carrier groups all over the planet ensuring the Jihadi goat herders don’t impede tanker traffic to Europe. The ChiComs likely had some dirt (who doesn’t) on Hunter and the “allowed surveillance” was quid pro quo.
Legally, once it was over US territory, we COULD NOT shoot it down because it was NOT IN our territory. Sovereignty extends from the ground up to 60,000 feet above sea level. The balloons were in international airspace, and everybody has the right to traverse international airspace without interference.
The United States has repeatedly opposed efforts to extend national airspace HIGHER.
whallllll shucks johnny boy, howcum the cummuniiiiists kept firing missiles at the SR-71? hmmm? some rule change in the mean time? what a friggin douche defending this egregious act.
Jake Sullivan … Antony Blinken … I’m not convinced they’re simply incompetent Ivy League sophomoric fools … no … I believe they are traitors to our nation, who actually WORKED to weaken us. They should be investigated, tried, and hung till their body stops twitching …if found guilty of selling out America.

Traitors!!
In 2020 I witnessed a similar (exact) balloon travel at extreme altitude, took notes and made sketches with binoculars and a telescope, on a clear summer morning.
