What the hell kind of dumbasses were our previous admin to let that happen. Funny they havent tried it again.

Hopefully better than they have handled Iran.

It would be shot down and recovered within 30 minutes. …. thus proving physical evidence tying back to Chyna

Biden couldn’t shoot it down because
1. He had no clue it happened
2. China owned his administration and told them not to.

100%
I doubt if the CCP Spy Balloon gets outside of the state of Alaska before being brought down, it may have been shot down over the Aleutian Islands if Trump were President.

Would have been shot down over mid-west instead of allowed to continue all the way to the East Coast.

About 6 hours later a B-2 bomber, with 6 F-35s and 6 F-22s escorting, would have flown directly over the home of Chairman Xi at the same time two nuke subs pop up right off of their coast.

We did absolutely nothing to punish China for Covid yet you think we would do something about a balloon?

Not to mention them helping rig 2020

The Blue Angels would’ve done sick flybys for their next Netflix special before slicing the ballon open with their wingtips.

There is a reason the device moved above 60k feet and why it wasn’t shot down for a few days. It is closely related to the reason that the following 3 objects were shot down within 24 hours of detection.

President Trump and Pete Hegseth would have been privy to the same intelligence in 2023 as President Joe Biden. Once detected, they would have almost certainly used the same rationale for waiting to shoot it down, unless you believe they are also dumbasses along with NORAD.

Mean tweets, then AA missiles.

How is flying over Xi's home or proving a couple of subs location a form of punishment?

Hard to say, best guess/ most likely response would be:
Trump would offer Xi spots for 500,000 Chinese college applicants.
Hegseth would televise himself doing 10 pull-ups and 30 pushups

However, if the subject is being used to compare/contrast the competency and military prowess of the two administrations, there is very little wiggle room in what could/should have been done differently.
Funny they havent tried it again.
What is your opinion on how the response should have been different?
