During a portion of an interview with CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin released on Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that in response to the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the country last week, the United States ensured that its nuclear bases “were buttoned down” and that “movement was limited and communications were limited so that we didn’t expose any capability unnecessarily.” Austin also stated that the buttoning down applied to nuclear bases all across the United States.
Martin asked, “You don’t know what it was looking for, but you certainly know what you were concerned about it looking for.

I find this potentially troubling. "Limit movement, communications across country" may be fatal if some future balloon incursion is in fact a designed head fake preceding a nuclear attack. That may be exactly what the Chinese are conditioning our minimally competent leadership to do...fear of media criticism leading to total inaction for 4 or 5 days.
But hey, no mean tweets. Right, you 81,000,000 idiots?

It was still a net gain of all the valuable intelligence we gained from them, right?

You want an outstanding example of the decay and rot in our Country due to advancement and hiring based solely on skin color? Ladies and Gentlemen my I introduce you to our Secretary of Defense, who oversees all of our military services which at this point couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag - Obese Human Blimp Lloyd Austin. Amazing that this fat infused dumbass was also a General in the Army! The only thing Blimpie Austin could defeat is the buffet at a local restaurant. This puffed up slug is going to get millions and millions of Americans killed. Just imagine what the six million dollar porker Austin and his equally treasonous and equally fat infused Chief of Staff, Soy Boy Milley, have done to the food budget at the Pentagon Officers Mess. When those two lumber into the mess hall the kitchen staff is put on Defcon 1.

While the balloon was over the country we just got under our desks and put our heads between our knees, except for bidet whose head was able to go someplace more secure.

Austin is an affirmative-action appointee. He is black, and we are not allowed to question his qualificiations, his competentce, or his views on even the weather.

GENERAL Austin got his stars because of his skin color, in spite of his stupidity. And we are supposed to listen to his inane blatherings as if he had a brain.
Shut up, you overpaid fraud.

So on normal non-balloon days, security at these locations is NOT "buttoned down"?

LIARS......just last week the Pentagon said (and I quote)."Federal officials say the balloon does not present a MILITARY or physical threat to people on the ground"

Telling potential enemies with nuclear weapons how to force the USA to limit movements and shutdown nuclear weapons site communications is not a good idea! That’s just common sense. You would think that even the affirmative action and politicized “woke” folks running the US Defense Department these days would know that.

I'd say Sec. Def. Lloyd Austin is as dumb as a box of rocks, but that would insult rocks.
My oldest brother was in Austin's class at West Point, and he and his buddies pulled him through by tutoring him. My brother is very competent and only made full colonel before he retired while Austin was riding the Affirmative Action gravy train to General, and then Sec. Def. BOHICA!

Was?is Austin one of those generals appointed by Zippy? Zippy made sure he had yes boys, incompitent (sp) yes men to be his generals, wiping out the generals who were tried and true. So this is what we now have. Generals with enough sparkles on their chests and big and hefty know-nothings. Oh. Zippy = Obama.

So no communication to the Minuteman missile sites happened the whole time this balloon was loitering over MT, WY, Nebraska? I need a life raft because the b.s. is getting deep.

Is that what is known as a damning admission?
