A few days in January and early February brought an incident America should not soon forget. I know I won’t. I’m still furious. Two heroic citizens in Montana sounded the alarm about a “balloon” floating above Big Sky country. Great Falls, Mont., is home to Malmstrom Air Force Base, which houses the 341st missile wing with ICBM’s (Intercontinental ballistic missiles), which could fairly be called weapons of mass destruction. This “balloon” was circling our nuclear assets. Soon the talk of the “balloon” was everywhere. And we knew rather quickly that this was much more than a just balloon.
It was a vessel flying 60,000 feet in the air with the capability of spying on anything it wished. It turns out the Biden Administration had been aware of this spy balloon for several days when it first entered U.S. airspace near Alaska. They knew it was a reconnaissance mission by the Communist Chinese Party too. But they said nothing. And they did nothing. They just watched it float over Montana and soon they heard from outraged citizens.
