Biden's Story About the Spy Balloon Doesn't Add Up; Here's What Most Likely Happened

BLUF:
[PJ] The most likely story is that the decision to shoot down the balloon once it was back over the water was made on Friday morning, shortly before Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s planned trip to Beijing was postponed.

It is highly unlikely that the Biden administration would have planned to send Blinken to Beijing while they’d been planning to shoot down the balloon. Considering the administration had long known about the balloon, the abrupt change of Blinken’s plans is the most obvious signal that there’d been a change in how the administration would handle the situation.

So Biden’s story doesn’t add up, yet he’ll forever claim he’d authorized the spy balloon to be shot down on Wednesday. But the facts suggest the authorization was two days later. Naturally, to help spin the situation as a positive for Biden, Democrats are now "celebrating" the balloon’s destruction as if Biden’s actions were heroic and decisive when we know they were not.

#2 You would think that someone would sail out there and grab a piece of whatever is floating around in the water. Flotsam and jetsam can be valuable.

#4 White House won't say if Biden is concerned [or even knows] about potential spy flight intel in Beijing's hands

#5 We have multiple radars that should spot something like this while it's still over China. The idea its appearance over CONUS came as a surprise is bullscrit.

#8 ^ Self-destruct charge or offensive payload, that's the question.

#9 I'll take "self-destruct charge" for $600. Alex.

On the other hand, the damn thing could have turned South and terminated at Mar-a-Lago. Unknowingly, Biden
may have screwed up again.

#10 Chinese are copy cats. Never original. If they were smart enough to have painted their balloon sky blue it would have skated.
