Biden Refuses to Shoot Down Huge Communist Chinese Airship over U.S. in Major Propaganda Coup for China
China appears to be using the balloon which could be carrying weapons of mass destruction for strategic signaling to test US resolve and to warn us against defending Taiwan from Chinese invasion
Yesterday afternoon, it was revealed by NBC News that the U.S. was tracking a massive Chinese airship, which U.S. government officials have been referring to as a ‘surveillance balloon’ which traveled over the Aleutian Islands and western Canada and hovered over 150 Minuteman III ICBM silos deployed around Malmstrom Air Force Base in central Montana for an extended period of time. The Chinese government claimed that the balloon was a civilian airship designed primary for meteorological and weather research that was blown off course, but the Pentagon disputed that explanation saying it was intentionally flown over sensitive U.S. military sites and was thus likely a Chinese military surveillance balloon. It has since been revealed that the airship entered US airspace on January 28th over Alaska and was spotted over Montana on January 31st. The White House attempted to conceal this unprecedented intrusion of a Chinese military balloon into U.S. airspace from both the U.S. Congress and the public, which didn’t find out about it until several days after the fact.
According to the UK Daily Mail, “Images taken from the ground show a device fixed to the balloon is fitted with large solar panels, which power the on-board monitoring equipment and also a system to maneuver the balloon. Equipment fitted to such a spy balloon is likely to include a long-range camera and radar to determine the presence and movement of harder-to-detect objects. Such a balloon would also be fitted with a communication device that can relay the findings in real-time back to its controller. A Pentagon official said: 'Clearly, they're trying to fly…this balloon over sensitive sites...to collect information.' China has sent other such spy balloons over the United States in recent years, the senior Pentagon official said.”
