Opinion By Joe Fotalattee
Anti-Biden, Pro-Trump Vietnamese media is at it again, pouncing on the opportunity to provide its readers with one-sided, outrage ignorance. (Our apologies for covering USA news, but we must once again correct the record.)
President Joe Biden was first briefed on the Chinese balloon last Tuesday. A day later he gave the military permission to shoot it down when it was over a place where there would be no danger of civilians being hurt by the flying debris.
Meanwhile, the Defense Department had said: “Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration.” Prior president Trump was either unaware of these breaches, or it is related to the overwhelming evidence that throughout his presidency Trump lacked the competence to be commander in chief. Trump’s incompetence was on display daily but perhaps most documented in the Mueller Report.
Despite the unfair media coverage and GOP criticism, Biden’s administration has since offered “to brief former top Trump administration officials on China’s surveillance program.”
China insisted that the object was a weather ship blown off course and refuted claims that it was being used for surveillance.
The US has refuted this assertion because the balloon was maneuverable and “had propellers on it.”
