The story just continues to spin, doesn’t it?
First, they said the balloon wasn’t a threat.

Then, they took it down.
But they had to attack Trump, claiming these spy balloons flew over the US all the time during his presidency.
Officials said Chinese balloons travelled into U.S. airspace on at least three occasions during the Trump presidency and once previously during Biden's tenure. https://t.co/8Skl3lchqW

But they never said anything….?
Then they took down multiple objects three days in a row.
Three more objects shot down within the past three days, and not a peep from the president. He hasn’t even met with Congress! WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF?
Americans are outraged. We deserve answers! #BidenUFOshttps://t.co/6TksznrHYY— Jeanine Pirro (@JudgeJeanine) February 13, 2023
They left us in suspense.
Aliens? More spy balloons? Something else?
Joe Biden let a Chinese spy balloon cross the entire US. Now he’s shooting down everything that flies. Why? Who knows. He apparently doesn’t.
Either the Biden Administration is lying to us or they’re totally and completely incompetent. Or both. pic.twitter.com/ll3qQSnjav

Meanwhile, trains are derailing, Epstein’s list is on its way to the public, Biden’s treasure trove of classified documents….
Another train derailed in Blount County, TN now…that makes: Ohio/TX/SC/TN. Hey @PeteButtigieg where ya at, chief?

We need to make sure that the Epstein client list gets the exposure it deserves, because MSM will be ignoring it. Two people are appealing the unsealing. We already know that you’re on the list @BillGates. pic.twitter.com/cp2bE8pGD0

Border issues, classified documents, Hunter Biden and Covid origins are among the probes Biden faces. His team is acutely aware of the challenges the scope of investigations presents to the 80-year-old Commander-in-Chief. https://t.co/fYOmVkdG4x pic.twitter.com/N4srPZ2gED

Finally, they gave us answers….sort of.
The three objects they shot down weren’t a threat. Totally benign.
The US does not believe that the three unidentified objects shot down over North America last weekend were from China or posed a national security threat. https://t.co/i2knmTdkEb

Phew!
But what were they?
Crickets…..
China fired back that US balloons flew over their airspace all the time.
According to Reuters,
Beijing says its balloon was a civilian research vessel mistakenly blown off course, and that Washington overreacted.
This week, China countered that U.S. balloons had flown over its airspace without permission more than 10 times on round-the-world flights since May 2022.
The White House has disputed China’s allegations.
Now, we’re learning the US tracked the balloon long before it entered our airspace.
INCREDIBLE: WPOST reports today Biden gang watched Chinese balloon from the moment it was launched — and did NOTHING until they were embarrassed into action. pic.twitter.com/LekzyBdyui

According to The Independent,
The US had been tracking the Chinese spy balloon ever since it left Hainan Island near China’s south coast – meaning it was under surveillance for almost a week before it entered American airspace, according to unnamed officials.
The Washington Post has now reported that US intelligence agencies were monitoring the balloon as soon as it left its base on Hainan Island and began charting its flight path to the US territory of Guam.
Officials told the paper they are exploring the possibility that it was indeed an accident for China to fly over North American airspace.
The revelation comes as the White House announced on Tuesday that the three other objects shot down by American fighter jets were likely used for commercial or other “benign” purposes.
Maybe it never really was a threat?
Could it be?
Who knows!
It’s not like we can trust a single thing that comes out of Biden’s mouth.
(or understand it)

So, what does this mean?
Was this all a distraction?
Look over here!
Meanwhile, this TikTok video shows China appearing to mock the US in the whole balloon fiasco:

And now China is vowing to take countermeasures.
China vows to "take countermeasures" against the U.S. in response to balloon downing https://t.co/v048v2NBW3

Time had this to say,
China warned that it will retaliate against the U.S. over violations of its sovereignty, potentially escalating a lingering dispute just as both nations’ foreign ministers plan to attend a security conference in Germany.
At a briefing Wednesday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin repeated Beijing’s view that the Chinese balloon downed by a U.S. jet off the South Carolina coast this month had inadvertently floated over the country after being blown off course. He criticized the Biden administration’s decision to take it out and said the move would have consequences.
My head is spinning as fast as they’re spinning the story.
Was this all a distraction or did they just get caught being stupid?
It could really go either way!
