Pentagon says it had an ‘awareness gap’ that led to failure to detect 3 Chinese balloons under Trump | CNN Politics
The American military had a “domain awareness gap” that allowed three other suspected Chinese spy balloons to transit the continental United States undetected under the Trump administration, the Pentagon general responsible for providing air and missile defense over North America said on Monday.

Not a chance in Hell! Happily Canadian and happy to watch the greatest show on earth complete with clowns, from this side of the border, in my case hundreds of kilometers away. Lately, I hope they don't wreck their economy and take ours down with it.Ask DIY I’m pretty sure he’ll take your offer

I had no idea Canadians had this much contempt for Americans until I came here. I noticed a little when I visited decades ago, but not this bad. Most were really cool. Too bad we can't have fun with each other and leave out the contempt.

" A whole lot of egg just splattered onto former Trump administrator's faces. From the article I drew the conclusion that after taking office, somebody in Biden's administration became alarmed at how shoddy our borders were being protected prior to Biden's taking office. They stepped up efforts:
"Past surveillance balloons were discovered at the beginning of the Biden administration because President Joe Biden directed the intelligence community "to increase both our vigilance and the assets that we were deploying to be able to detect Chinese efforts to spy against the United States," said national security adviser Jake Sullivan."
Of course, this won't come up when a Republican yammers on about Border Security. But I'd like to take those comments and throw them back in their face. Just like the egg that got splattered all over them yesterday when this all became public.
Then again, this is what you get when we have people in charge who believe the government is the problem -- we get a problematic government.

Do you not see cause for such contempt?I had no idea Canadians had this much contempt for Americans until I came here. I noticed a little when I visited decades ago, but not this bad. Most were really cool. Too bad we can't have fun with each other and leave out the contempt.

So you don't like America either I take it even though you live here?

Do you not know how to discuss a topic? What a childish response.
One can love this country yet see its flaws and want to make the US better. Not the foolhardy slogan, MAGA, but simply make America better. I get the sense a lot of Canadians feel the same way.

More pity for the sane Americans who have to put up with that fascist bullshit and live with people who would rather fuck themselves and everybody else because of fear and hate. How sick or stupid would a person have to be to like Trump or believe anything he says. I wouldn't call any American who voted republican a patriot, but I would call them a fool and perhaps a traitor. The republican party is a fascist organization that promotes and benefits from domestic terrorism, election cheating and denial. They are an existential threat to America and a real and present danger to my country and the entire fucking planet.I had no idea Canadians had this much contempt for Americans until I came here.

Get it?
I'd post a "LIKE" for that, but there's nothing likeable about it.
Do I agree with it, yup. But it's not a likeable statement so, it'll
get a sad emoji. Cuz that's what it is, damned sad.

Wow I didn't know you were Canadian too. I have nothing against Canadians. I just thought we had a closer bond and am kinda surprised. And jokes and insults are totally different. We're way off topic though, so we should probably just move on,

It's because we like Americans and many of us have American relatives that we care when some of them are acting like fucking idiots by electing a dangerous moron like Trump. The fact that millions of the fools still don't see it is nothing short of astounding. In 2020 there were 74 million moral failures who voted for the fool and then he betrayed the constitution. Trump made them look like suckers and traitors by storming the capitol and interrupting the peaceful transfer of power, first time in over 230 odd years. He was impeached twice for good cause and was guilty as sin both times, the last time for trying to over throw the government, with plenty of republican help.Wow I didn't know you were Canadian too.

It is not me who hates Americans, it is some Americans who hate and fear other American citizens more than they love their country.

Canada is way too liberal for the constitutional Republic of the United States of America. I personally resent people from outside of my country trying to tell me what's good for me.
Canada in itself is a very weak country only made Strong by the presence of the United States. Canada actively denies rights of the citizens and suppresses people's freedoms in order to gain control of the current population.

which rights? I asked you once before to list them.

Liberal means free and your entire post contradicted itself.
We have a domestic terrorist watch list and so will America, along with single payer healthcare and gun regulation and so will you one day. Obviously nobody can tell some people right from wrong and they can't seem to figure it out on your own, no morals I guess.

The way I read it, Trump ignored the same advice that was later given to Biden who listened and took action. When surveillance was stepped up, they saw something that Trump's administration did not. Not because they could not but because in their arrogance they didn't listen to advisors who were giving good advice. The same kind of incompetent leadership gave us 9-11.
But then again, maybe it's a good thing Trump didn't find out. The walls would have been a lot taller.
