As a career Marine, I am so damn proud of the professionals at the Pentagon, NORAD, USNORTHCOM and our fighting forces who just remained silent and shot it down over the ocean where they could minimize risk to those below. https://t.co/IfQBUEiWRD

“They successfully took it down, and I want to compliment our aviators who did it.”

Notable: US officials say they were able to block the balloon from gathering intel during its overflight of the US, while the US military was able to turn the tables, so to speak, to gather intel on the balloon itself and its equipment.

I have hope when I see that even the often clueless young liberal can see what the old guy did there:

Biden handled the Chinese Spy Balloon flawlessly. The Pentagon was able to collect data from the Chinese balloon while simultaneously preventing the balloon from gathering US data. He ignored the cries from Marjorie Greene and Jim Jordan -- and the country is safer because of it.

Now if he and friends will just seriously think about following the lead of that "don't feed the trolls" thing he did (MTG, Jim Jordan et. al)

SCHUMER: “We protected civilians. We gained more intel while protecting our own sensitive information. The bottom line here is that shooting down the balloon over water wasn’t just the safest option, but it was the one that maximized our intel gain.”

new A.P. report:

U.S. officials say that efforts ordered by President Joe Biden to strengthen defenses against Chinese espionage helped identify last week’s spy balloon — and determine that similar flights were conducted at multiple points during the Trump administration. https://t.co/sdXlOcVbDV

This is huge:

After taking office, Biden quickly ordered stronger defenses against Chinese espionage. This action by Biden is how he was able to detect spy balloons while Trump was not. This is also why Trump missed the balloons. (@ZekeJMiller) https://t.co/efZSSc4dcv pic.twitter.com/foAofKeFxe

“What the Chinese have done is taken an unbelievably old technology, and basically married it with modern communications and observation capabilities” to try to glean intelligence on other nations’ militaries, said one official. “It’s a massive effort.” https://t.co/ALXjLu2pF6

“In recent years, at least 4 balloons have been spotted over Hawaii, Florida, Texas & Guam — in addition to the 1 tracked last week. Three of the four instances took place during the Trump administration but were only recently identified as Chinese surveillance airships.

“Other balloons have been spotted in Latin America and allied countries in the Pacific, officials have said.

“Monitoring the recent balloon helped fill in gaps about the four others, officials said. The U.S. military sent up fighter jets & other aircraft over the past week to observe the airship. A Chinese spy balloon that crashed off the Hawaiian islands last June also yielded helpful

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE only a few minutes ago:

I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) February 11, 2023

I spoke with President Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage of the object. Thank you to NORAD for keeping the watch over North America.

It would be funny if aliens are invading and everyone’s just blaming it on China out of habit — I feel like I was a couple of years too early with One Billion Americans and the whole “great power rivalry is back!” narrative hadn’t congealed yet when it was released.
