Of course, after Tucker Carlson’s attempt to pivot away from war in Russia and towards war with the Chinese, all of the sudden the balloons are back.

Reuters:

Taiwan’s defence ministry said on Sunday it had detected eight Chinese balloons crossing the Taiwan Strait in the previous 24 hours, of which five flew across Taiwan, the second day in a row is has reported a large number of balloons.

Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory despite the strong objections of the government in Taipei, has complained since December about the balloons, saying they are a threat to aviation safety and attempt at psychological warfare.

In its daily report on Chinese military activities, Taiwan’s defence ministry said it spotted the first balloon on Saturday morning and the last one mid-afternoon, having spotted the same number of balloons on Friday.

Five crossed the northern and central part of Taiwan, according to a map provided by the ministry.

…

Last month, China’s government dismissed repeated complaints by Taiwan about the balloons, saying they are for meteorological purposes and should not be hyped up for political reasons.

No one who believes in these balloons should be allowed to vote.

In fact, people who believe in these balloons should be forced to work in the mines until they die.

Imagine if your neighbor was flying balloons at you.

Imagine how that would make you feel.

This is why we need to have a war with China.

Taiwan’s defence ministry accused China on Saturday of threatening aviation safety and waging psychological warfare on the island’s people with a recent spate of balloons spotted near or over the island, days before key Taiwanese elections.

The potential for China to use balloons for spying became a global issue in February when the United States shot down what it said was a Chinese surveillance balloon. China said the balloon was a civilian craft that accidentally drifted astray.

Taiwan is on high alert for Chinese military and political activity ahead of the Jan. 13 presidential and parliamentary elections. It says China is exerting military and economic pressure in an attempt to interfere in the elections.

China views the island as its own territory, a claim Taiwan’s government rejects.

Since last month Taiwan’s defence ministry has reported several instances of Chinese balloons flying over the sensitive Taiwan Strait. It said this week some balloons had flown over Taiwan island near major air bases.

In a statement on Saturday, the ministry said the balloons were a “serious threat” to international aviation safety given their flight paths.

“We also express our condemnation of the Chinese communists’ disregard for aviation safety and its disregard for the safety of passengers on cross-Taiwan Strait and international flights,” it said.

The ministry said its analysis was that the balloons were part of China’s “grey zone” tactics against Taiwan “in an attempt to use cognitive warfare to affect the morale of our people“.

This was stronger than Taiwan’s previous assertions that the balloons appeared to be mostly for weather monitoring, driven by prevailing winds at this time of year.

Calls seeking comment to China’s defence ministry, Taiwan Affairs Office and civil aviation administration were not answered on Saturday outside of work hours.

…

In a separate statement on Saturday, Taiwan’s defence ministry said that during the previous 24 hours it had detected two more Chinese balloons, one of which briefly flew over the far northern tip of the island.

No one deserves to have balloons flown into their democracy.

No one.

Listen, there is no possible way this was a “spy balloon.” This is the current year. 2023. Not 1723. Powerful countries use satellites to spy on other countries. China has over 300 satellites with military application, i.e., the ability to read a license plate or the smile on your face from outer space.

So what would be the point of a “spy balloon,” given that it would actually be much less effective than a satellite?

No one is using “spy balloons.” This is just not even real. When have you heard about “spy balloons,” ever? Didn’t that seem strange?

There is also no possible way that if it was a “spy balloon,” it couldn’t send data back to China from America… unless it used satellites.

Reuters:

A Chinese balloon that flew across the United States was able to gather intelligence from several U.S. military sites and transmit it back to Beijing in real time, despite the Biden administration’s efforts to prevent it from doing so, NBC News reported on Monday.

The high-altitude balloon, controlled by Beijing, was able to make multiple passes over some of the sites before it was shot down on Feb. 4, at times flying in a figure-eight formation, NBC said, citing two current senior U.S. officials and one former senior administration official.

The three officials said it could transmit the information it collected back to Beijing in real time, NBC reported.

“The intelligence China collected was mostly from electronic signals, which can be picked up from weapons systems or include communications from base personnel, rather than images,” NBC cited the officials as saying.

Oh now see, they switched up the narrative because I was out there talking about satellites. By the way, no one else was pointing that out. Just me and Colonel MacGregor.

But of course, it’s impossible to pick up electronic signals from that altitude, just as it is impossible to send data through the center of the earth.

U.S. officials were not immediately available for comment. The Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

At the time, U.S. officials played down the balloon’s impact on national security.

No, they did not. They were doing emergency press conferences and pounding the war drums. Antony Blinken – who by the way is Jewish – canceled a trip to China because he claimed they sent a war balloon.

This is just surreal.

It’s so dumb it makes you sick.

These media people and the Pentagon have ZERO proof it was a spy balloon.

The cherry on the cake is that they could have gotten proof (or not) by downing the balloon in a way that would allow them to examine it.

Instead, they purposefully destroyed the entire balloon with an extremely expensive missile.

It’s real funny that they made it impossible to disprove their “spy balloon” theory, huh?

Most people would take the purposeful destruction of the evidence as proof the US government is lying – that this is obvious war propaganda. But America is a nation of dim-witted morons. Just look at how fat everyone is. The gay retards will believe anything.

The US government is no longer even required to present a plausible hoax to start a war.
