Alleged Chinese Spy Balloon Hovering Over Montana

[The Deadman]

Montana’s Republican Senator Steve Daines sent a letter to the Department of Defense (DOD) demanding answers on the suspected Chinese spy balloon spotted above his state.

Daines sent a late letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday amid reports of the suspected surveillance balloon over U.S. airspace.

The Montana Republican called the high-altitude Chinese balloon a "concerning event" and told Austin that the "fact that this balloon was occupying Montana airspace creates significant concern that Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB) and the United State’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fields are the targets of this intelligence gathering mission."

Daines wrote that given "the serious nature of the event," he is "requesting a full security briefing from the administration on this situation."

"It is vital to establish the flight path of this balloon, any compromised U.S. national security assets, and all telecom or IT infrastructure on the ground within the U.S. that this spy balloon was utilizing," the letter reads.

"As you know, Montana plays a vital national security role by housing nuclear missile silos at Malmstrom AFB," the senator continued.

"Given the increased hostility and destabilization around the globe aimed at the United States and our allies, I am alarmed by the fact that this spy balloon was able to infiltrate the airspace of our country and Montana," he added.

Well that's pretty concerning. Yikes.

And for some reason we're just letting it float along?

We’re too busy giving Ukraine billions of dollars and screaming at each other over gender ideology to notice foreign spy balloons floating above our country.

Pathetic and scary.

Reed Richards would be proud of this reaching.

The former is arguably not a distraction since the War in Ukraine is just as crucial to the Anti-Communist effort as internal security issues.

Well, what do you know? Trump was right. Again.

Nothing wrong with fighting communism both abroad and at home. There's plenty to go around, sadly.

Mitch McConnel was calling for a debriefing and intel session on this and there are leftists whose commentary about that was that the balloon should open up and drop $#!( on McConnel. Dumbest generation of people to ever walk the Earth.

And we have such a clown-government in place, elected by clown-society that China is brazen enough to do this. There is. A Chinese. Asset. Flying over America. And we are observing it.

This was a message from China - there is no way they sent that thing over thinking that we wouldn't see it. And so, it was sent to send a message. And the modern-$#!(bag wants to use it as commentary about an aging Republican who believes it should be investigated.

Oh no. No no no. We noticed. And so it's clearly worse than that.

And next time it might not be just a spy-thing...
But, nah, hating on China is a "Sinophobia". And commies are nice guys. And rumors about China being a totalitarian genocidal state are just rumors. And...

Russia is not Communist. But you can blame current conditions on Communism, since the ultranationalism and obsession with money we see in Russia today is a counter reaction to 74 years of Communism (1917–1991).

I know. There was a period where the societal outcry over this would be huge. But now the widely public-facing part of our society is filled with the Power Rangers generation and younger who think this is a circus act that we should sit through, probably for the sake of "fairness to Chineese culture".

I am literally living in the society now where these people would stare doe-eyed at rockets landing on the U.S. and then complain about how it's not fair while we are utterly rocked to our core. Dumbest generation of people to ever walk the Earth. The kind of people the criminal smiles at and asks if they are okay while the knife goes in and out, in and out. But they'll complain more about being hit on or "mansplained to" than the criminal knifing them. Dumbest generation of people to ever walk the Earth. F'n cavemen had more sense.

Keep telling yourself that, see if it comes true.

Huh... from a certain angle, it kinda looks like Captain Hook's flying pirate ship in Disney's Peter Pan.

So what if this balloon leads to spreading Super CoVid in the air?

There have been rumors of people working on a new and improved CoVid.

Again... What is so important about this vaccine that they even want to create more pandemics to force people into taking them?

Simple. More sick people equals more money for Big Pharma.

China confirms balloon is theirs, as spokesperson claims it is civilian research airship

China To America:
Yeah. It's ours but it's a civilian science project, so don't worry about it over your country.

Every American @$$hole Younger than 40:
Oh cool. No sweat, we love your cultural contributions.

So hey, it's a civilian research balloon the size of three school buses in super high altitude that made a global journey. No problem at all. Hmmm. although -scratches chin- You'd figure that if it drifted off course they'd have told us about it in our airspace so as to avoid an international incident.

Just shoot the f*cking thing down and be done with it.

We should capture it.

But the truth is that anything is better than "just observing" a piece of spy tech as it surveys you. The only viable tactic for "just observing" it would be if we could direct significant misinformation to it and let the Chinese think they were successful.

Maybe that’s what they want. But they sure as hell don't want it destroyed.
