Coward Biden Lets China Send Spy Balloon Over America | Ep. 1661

Biden's Response

The Biden administration's handling of the Chinese spy balloon incident has sparked significant criticism. Ben Shapiro argues that the administration's inaction in shooting down the balloon, which hovered over American nuclear sites, reflects a lack of resolve. He compares this situation to past instances where other nations, like the Soviet Union, took decisive action against foreign surveillance:

Foreign countries have no problem apparently knocking American surveillance out of the sky. But apparently the Biden administration does not want to knock a balloon out of the sky.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro questions the rationale behind allowing such a blatant breach of American airspace and suggests that the administration's priorities are misplaced 1 2.

   

International Reactions

International reactions to the Chinese spy balloon incident have been mixed, with Canada also implicated in the situation. Ben Shapiro highlights that the Canadian Department of National Defense detected a similar high-altitude surveillance balloon, raising questions about North American defense capabilities. He criticizes both the U.S. and Canadian governments for their passive stance, suggesting that this incident exposes vulnerabilities in their response strategies:

Why is it that the Chinese get to float a balloon over American soil?

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro argues that such incidents should prompt a more assertive defense posture to deter future provocations 1.
