OPINION:
Why did President Biden and his Pentagon brass allow the Chinese spy balloon to travel across the continental U.S. before intercepting it mere miles off the coast of South Carolina?
Although Pentagon officials said otherwise, this Chinese high-resolution camera operation and its intelligence-gathering balloon
transmitted highly sensitive intelligence information relating to the defense of the United States back to China.
Even more egregiously, the Biden administration allowed the balloon to overfly strategic sites throughout Montana and North Dakota, as well as Missouri’s Whiteman Air Force Base, the headquarters of our B-2 strategic bomber force.
The balloon also captured strategic information relating to our nation’s general infrastructure, electrical-power and water-system grids.
Irreparable damage has been done to the U.S. And to think that even now, some seven months after the incident, retiring Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley continues to opine that the balloon was not on a spy mission.
It is clear that the White House, its crony Pentagon henchmen and the mainstream, socialist media are in the process of selling out the United States to China.
