Second spy balloon spotted over Latin America, says Pentagon, as Blinken postpones China trip


A second Chinese spy balloon was reportedly flying over Latin America, according to the Pentagon, in comments that came as the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, postponed a visit to China after the intrusion of a separate high-altitude Chinese balloon into US airspace.

“We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America,” Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said, a day after the first craft was spotted over US skies. “We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon.”

The Pentagon did not specify the balloon’s exact location, but a US official told CNN it did not appear to be currently heading towards the US.

In South Korea on Friday, Blinken said he had spoken with Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, and “made clear that the presence of this surveillance balloon in US airspace is a clear violation of US sovereignty and international law”.

Blinken said, however, that he had told Wang that “the United States is committed to diplomatic engagement with China and that I plan to visit Beijing when conditions allow”.

It's not a spy balloon someone is playing bomberman in the simulation

Breaking news:

The Biden administration has kept the existence of the Chinese spy balloon secret because Biden fears it would derail Blinken's trip to China. But the secrecy was uncovered after local media in Billings, Montana released a photo of the balloon Thursday afternoon, and the Biden administration was pressured to start publishing it -- Bloomberg

Anyone who believes the phrase "the spy balloon is just a civilian weather balloon" needs to understand that there is nothing civilian in China. All belong to the CCP and the SS of the CCP. Military-civilian integration

Thank God for the Air Force

The intrusion of Chinese spy balloons into U.S. airspace has aroused great concern. A Montana resident filmed a picture of a suspected spy balloon being shot down. No military plane was sent to destroy it, and it is not a spy balloon in the film.

Dolly Moore, a woman living in Billings (Billings), uploaded a video she took on Twitter on the 3rd, according to a report by the local TV station "KRTV" in Montana. Passing by, an explosion occurred in the sky, from which a string of white smoke could be seen slanting down, as if something was falling.

Moore, who worked at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, immediately suspected that it was the Chinese spy balloon that had flown over Billings. U.S. authorities emphasized that the spy balloon had left Montana. Naju, was also sighted in the Midwest of the United States on the 4th.

The Billings municipal government also stated that the local firefighting units and the airport have not received any notification, and no aircraft has disappeared from the radar. After contacting the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services Agency and Governor Greg Gianforte, it was confirmed There were no explosions in the state at the time.

U.S. defense officials also clarified to Fox News that the Chinese spy balloon did not explode or be shot down by the U.S. military, and the film has nothing to do with the Chinese spy balloon.

Well, not different to the US effort, trying for many years, to set up a military base in Thailand at U-Tapao airport but thankfully never got a permission. The last attempt they tried to get permission to move in some military equipment to study weather patterns..... i.e. using Thailand to spy on the Chinese.......

This is how it works, people are profiled in college, shepherded through corporate mazes to suddenly emerge and placed in positions of power with no real, actual experience in anything, but indoctrinated with the message and protected by the oligarchs.

WEF - How global Young Leaders are selected. The leaders, politicians and Corporate CEOs of the future, hand picked by the WEF because they are ‘believers’ Then they are shaped, moulded and indoctrinated. Pretend democracy looks like this.
