The White House must know that it suffered significant political damage after the last incidentThe Chinese are just earthly bullies and Joe knows who the real enemies are.
U.S. shoots down unidentified object flying above Alaska
Officials would not speculate about what the object might be and said they do not know who owns it.www.reuters.com
Lol. I am sure conservatives are coming up with a reason that Biden shouldn't have shot it down this time.
Their stories about being concerned about balloon wreckage causing damage on the ground are just crap.
Wait, are you really criticizing Biden for doing it wrong, and then criticizing him more for doing it right?
No…just laying out the 2 plausible reasons for the change in strategy.
Only because he didn’t want to admit the statement was correct.
Because this one was a potential threat to civilian aircraft.
Yeah….I think I’ll stick with the other reasons. I haven’t had enough beer yet to buy that one.
Okay. Whatever the reason, let me ask you, do you think shooting this UFO down was the right decision?
Probably not critical after the first one was allowed to gather all of the data.
In comparison to the balloon they let float across the country? Yes.
You don’t want to allow discussion critical of the decision? Sounds about right…
Yes he should’ve shot this one down. Why did he change course in his strategy?
If that's as close as you can get, I think you really need to consider why it was so important to 1) avoid admitting he got it right, and 2) qualify such admission with language about why he was still wrong.
Good grief. My statement said they shot this one down because the White House must have known it suffered political damage after the first incident. Mark said no way. I also said their reasoning about wreckage on the ground proved to be crap.
He did say he got this one right. He did. Doesn't negate his other point either. I am just glad that someone in the administration was capable of learning a lesson after the first massive screw up. Kudos for learning from mistakes. That isn't a bad thing.
It was nice to see the 11th Air Force finally awaken from their slumber and actually do their job...
But if it bleeds for 7 days and lives never trust it.
