US’ Blinken, NATO’s Stoltenberg rebuke China over balloon
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the balloon was part of a “broader program” affecting “five continents.” NATO’s visiting secretary-general called it part of a “pattern of behavior.”
The US and NATO on Wednesday both criticized China over the network of suspected spy balloons like the one shot down off the eastern coast of the US last week.
The White House described the balloon as part of a “fleet” that has spanned five continents and said it had been in contact with allies.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg both raised the issue in a joint press conference in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.

Blinken said Washington was gaining more information “almost by the hour” and that the US would share relevant findings with Congress and allies around the world.
‘China continually undermines a rules-based order’
NATO’s Jens Stoltenberg said following his talks with Blinken that NATO had to be “vigilant,” and warned that China was drawing lessons from the war in Ukraine, saying “what happens in Europe today could happen in Asia tomorrow,” seemingly in reference to Taiwan or other potential Chinese aggression in the region.

US grasping at straws now. A balloon??? “Monsieur Ballon”. I think it had a big picture of Peter Sellers on top of it.

The ability to recognize propaganda has been lost. The people will believe anything the mass media parrots conclusions. False flags get easier when are no questions to seek the truth.
What is the real reason for the DOD delayed shoot down over the ocean? That would sink the forensic analysis, evidence and proof of perpetrator. Someone wanted grounds for Secretary of State Blinken to cancel a meeting and an ongoing campaign to blame China. Who and why?
