If you’ve been following the news lately, you might have heard about the Chinese spy balloon that was detected hovering over the United States. Yes, you read that right – a balloon! It’s like something out of a spy movie, only it’s real life. And it’s no laughing matter.
But let’s face it – the Biden administration’s response to the incident has been less than satisfactory. Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines has been trying to get answers from the administration, but all he’s gotten are evasive non-answers. Daines wants to know why the balloon was allowed to enter U.S. airspace, how close it got to sensitive military sites, and what other national security sites it flew over. But the Biden administration doesn’t seem to want to give him any answers.
And that’s not all. According to reports, the Chinese balloon had collected intelligence from several sensitive American military sites, including electronic signals from weapons systems and base personnel communications. And to make matters worse, Beijing received this information in real-time. That means that the Chinese government had access to sensitive U.S. military information as it was happening.
It’s a scary thought, isn’t it? But here’s the thing – we can’t just sit around and be afraid. We need to take action. That’s why Sen. Daines introduced a bill to require a gap analysis of NORAD capabilities. In other words, we need to analyze whether there are any missing components necessary to identify potential threats from foreign aerial objects entering U.S. airspace.
But let’s not forget – this is a serious issue, and we need to treat it as such. We can’t let the Chinese government get away with spying on us. We need to hold the Biden administration accountable for their lack of action on this matter.
And we need to make sure that our national security is protected from future threats.
So, what can you do? First and foremost, stay informed. Keep up with the news and pay attention to what’s going on in our country.
Write to your elected representatives and let them know that you care about national security. And most importantly, don’t be afraid to speak up. We can’t let our voices go unheard.
In conclusion, the Chinese spy balloon fiasco may sound like something out of a movie, but it’s a real-life issue that we need to take seriously. It’s up to us to hold our elected officials accountable and make sure that our national security is protected. So let’s stand up, speak out, and make sure that our voices are heard.
