Listen "China’s “Trial Balloon” Drifts Across the Country. Does Our Government Even Care? "
Episode Synopsis
On a bright, sunny February day, a couple of curious Montanans happened to look up and notice a peculiar flying object. At a slow, leisurely pace, what appeared to be a massive balloon was traversing their picturesque and boundless sky. Word started to get around that it might belong to a hostile actor. Only then did the Biden administration announce that, with a high level of confidence, this was no ordinary balloon, but a special SPY balloon deployed by the Chinese government. Did it proceed to intercept the balloon? To shoot it down? To seek redress from the CCP? To send our own balloon above the city of Wuhan in response? No. The balloon simply carried on its way, drifting with perfect nonchalance to the coast of South Carolina. Why did the CCP do this? And what exactly is our government doing? Please, if you have answers, comment below.
