Navy intel admiral says China balloon was wake-up call to Americans
By Geoff Ziezulewicz
 Wednesday, Feb 15

 
SAN DIEGO — For years, national security and military officials have trumpeted the looming threat China poses to the U.S.-led global order.

For just as many years, polls have shown that foreign policy issues rank low on the average voter’s list of pressing concerns.


But the appearance Feb. 1 of the Chinese surveillance balloon that sallied its way across U.S. airspace before being shot down off South Carolina is “absolutely” waking up regular Americans to the Chinese government’s threat to world order, the Navy’s top intelligence official said Wednesday.

At the same time, Rear Adm. Michael Studeman, the head of the Office of Naval Intelligence, said he wished the incident “would be connected to the larger issues at hand when we talk about China.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It should have been a bigger wake up call for the military and congress.  I'd say for Biden, too, but there is nothing in his head to wake up. :whistle:
