For those of you who are sympathetic to China for their balloon being shot down off the coast of South Carolina, let's not forget about the United States Navy secrets that were lost in 2001. This USN reconnaissance plane had to make an emergency landing on Hainan Island after colliding with a Chinese interceptor that was flying at stall speed right next to the US Navy EP-3 Orion.
Today, listening to Fox News on my Sirius XM Radio , a congressman from Montana and a former Navy SEAL who was the Department of Labor head during the Trump Administration said that there was NOT Chinese balloon incidents during President Trump's tenure and there are no excuses why the balloon wasn't brought down.
Congressman/Retired Navy Commander Ryan Zinke said in two of his counties in the area of the Chinese balloon float-over have fewer people than members of Congress. He also said he's trained the Aleutian island chain of Alaska.
Many History Buffs remember the isolated islands of Attu and Kiska that the Japanese took over to distract us from the upcoming Battle of Midway. The chances of hitting a fishing vessel there are really remote. I guess we will find out more in the Congressional hearings later this month.
Reports say President Biden gave the order to shoot the CCP balloon down but the Pentagon delayed it. This is the same Pentagon that has a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that believes in Critical Race Theory and 'White Rage.'
I may be unfairly targeting the Pentagon but we will find out more about this since it's still a developing story. I still believe the perception to our enemies is that we are indecisive and to our friends in the Western Pacific and Southwest Asia that we can't make a decision in a Timely manner.
I see our adversaries as exploiting this indecisiveness and a warning to our allies that we can't be trusted. Is this another example of President Biden leading from the rear? The Afghanistan debacle certainly enticed President Putin to continue in his quest to take over Ukraine and dictator president of communist China now is more focused on finishing his four aircraft carriers and building his people's Liberation Army Navy to take over Taiwan in the next few years. I foresee President Biden having his own Watergate and we will be indecisive and notice that after the Nixon resignation, President Ford and his Republicans were too afraid to save South Vietnam. I foresee President Biden and his corruption being exploited by our adversaries in their scheme of taking over Ukraine or Taiwan.
Republican leadership wouldn't have allowed this to happen.
