There’s a new report that says the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency had spotted the Chinese spy balloon before it even reached the Alaska coast:
NEW: A day before the suspected Chinese spy balloon entered US airspace over Alaska, the DIA quietly sent an internal report that a foreign object was headed towards US territory, sources tel us. @KatieBoLillis, @MarquardtA, @NatashaBertrand & me. https://t.co/nE0bPUkvgU

You know what happened after that. The Chinese spy balloon spent the next few days floating high across the continental United States, including over military installations, before being shot down in the Atlantic. That’s quite a big security breach, right?
Not according to President Biden:

“The total amount of intelligence gathering that’s going on around the world is overwhelming.”
From Reuters:
President Joe Biden, under fire from some lawmakers, said on Thursday he did not view a Chinese spy balloon that transited the United States before it was shot down in the Atlantic Ocean to have been a major security breach.
Biden, who has sought to maintain communications with China and not allow tensions with Beijing to get out of control, said in a Noticias Telemundo interview that he did not regret shooting down the balloon sooner.
“It’s not a major breach,” Biden said. “I mean, look, it’s totally … it’s a violation of international law. It’s our airspace. And once it comes into our space, we can do what we want with it.”
Yeah, the CCP is definitely going to try that again, aren’t they?

Apparently this administration is “open borders” by land or air.
