You cannot do that from an ocean vessel, it has to be from land. And they probably know it is from China because they tracked it all the way across the Pacific Ocean. They had at least a week to shoot the damn thing down over water, and they did not. They just let it overfly the US. Consequently, this show of indignation is just for show. China paid the Whitehouse to allow this. And remember, the Secretary of State is not selected by the President, The Council of Rome does the selection. So Blinken just says what the world's leaders tell him to. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84477481 Canada 02/03/2023 08:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He's not wrong about that but [[BLINKEN]] shouldn't be speaking for America. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85199270 He IS wrong about that. Balloon ploy is to expose the remaining anti-communist agents and pols that are left in America. Most of the anti-communist agents were picked off during the covid gambit. Smart long term play by the Chinese and their globalist influencers. Hard to believe the CIA was anti-communist in the 70s. It's like there is a compartmentalized communist faction within the company playing their own people undetected because they are using incrementalism strategy. And in the post-Ed Snowden era, EVERY CIA agent is assessed and given to obey orders unquestioningly and be perfectly obedient. That makes it damn near impossible for agents to detect anything intra-agency because the microscope and boot is fuckin HEAVY on every agent's neck. Bad time for the company. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84082465 United States 02/03/2023 09:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BUT .... The US flying SR-71's over the USSR, then Russia, then Cuba, and China, and Iran (all in the last 5 years even as we had very capable satellites up) was A-OK and NO violation of their airspace AT ALL!! Sheesh ... the Double Speak that comes out of DC is never ending. Of course the Chinese are gathering intelligence any way they can, just like the US does. It is how the "big boys" play the game. Why they didn't shoot it down while over Montana, which is as remote as it gets in the lower 48 must mean they WANTED it to collect the information they thought it was collecting!! |
