The “This ChiCom balloon attack never would have happened if Trump was still president!” bullshit two weeks ago died another death Friday as the Wall Street Journal reports that in the summer of 2020 a small circle of intel officials at the Pentagon assessed that at least three incursions of US airspace by objects they suspected then but are now certain were ChiCom spy balloons.
The assessment wasn’t conclusive and thus not shared with the Trump White House, but fuck it. The fanboys would never give Biden the benefit of the doubt, so why should we? Trump is supposed to be this omniscient superbeing always winning at 12D chess against the ChiComs, which makes this yet another catastrophic failure by his administration to protect America from its enemies.
