President Biden on US Military Shooting Down Chinese Balloon

Hagerstown, Maryland...On Wednesday, when I was briefed on the balloon, I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down, on Wednesday, as soon as possible. They decided — without doing damage to anyone on — on the ground. They decided that the best time to do that was as it got over water, outside — within our — within the 12-mile limit.






They successfully took it down. And I want to compliment our aviators who did it. And we’ll have more to report on this a little later.

Thank you.

Q Mr. President, what does this say about China? What’s your message to China?

Q You were saying the recommendation from your — was from your national security —

THE PRESIDENT: I told them to shoot it down.

Q On Wednesday?

THE PRESIDENT: On Wednesday.

Q But the recommendation from them —

THE PRESIDENT: They said to me, “Let’s wait till the safest place to do it.”

3:16 P.M. EST

Excellent wok! They would not shoot it down over population not knowing what really was in it when it - it needed to get over the ocean. The military knows what they are doing, you do not.

        I think Joe will get plenty of depends when he gives China the welcome mat. They already owe him and his family 10% of Americas tax payer money...oh wait, not hunters 3 year old girl who he had when fuking his dying brothers wife and this stripper at the same time. You see the Biden family considers themselves a classy family, and would never take in a true blood relative who was conceived by a drug addict and a stripper. You see, under Democrats eyes, drug addicts are seen as classy, trusted individuals who would stop to stealing, shooting, or murderering people for their next fix, and strippers will work to pay for a roof over their heads, food, pay bills, bring their kids to the Drs and school and pay taxes. The last thing they want to do is do illegal business dealings with their countries enemies, and bring shame not only to their family, but the entire nation where they were born.
