Publisher's Note: Following this noteworthy and infamous story regarding the Chinese Spy Balloon caper, an inarguable embarrassment for the feckless Biden Administration, will be this series of posts, an archival history, chronicling the Misinformational Misadventure that wholly embarrassed this leader of the Democratic Socialists' Authoritarian regime.

    U.S. officials reportedly believe that they have identified a third Chinese spy balloon that is likely operating in the air right now, but they did not reveal its location.

    The news comes after the U.S. military used an F-22 Raptor to take out a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday using a single air-to-air A9X sidewinder missile fired at an altitude of approximately 58,000 feet. The decision to shoot down the spy balloon came after President Joe Biden allowed it to fly thousands of miles over the continental U.S. during the last several days.

    The Washington Post reported that the U.S. officials believe that there is "likely a third operating elsewhere," but they declined to give the balloon's location.

    An official told the Post that Beijing was embarrassed by the incident. "They're in a very tough place," the official said. "And they have very few cards to play right now."

    The second Chinese spy balloon was detected over South America last week, according to U.S. military officials.

    "We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America," Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement. "We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon."

    China was furious after the balloon was shot down, claiming that it was "a clear overreaction and a serious violation of international practice," and that it reserves "the right to make further responses if necessary."

    "China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and protest against the US's use of force to attack civilian unmanned aircraft," a statement said. "The Chinese side has repeatedly informed the US side after verification that the airship is for civilian use and entered the US due to force majeure - it was completely an accident."

    "China clearly asked the US to handle it properly in a calm, professional and restrained manner. A spokesman for the US Department of Defense also stated that the balloon will not pose a military or personal threat to ground personnel," the Chinese concluded. "China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of relevant companies, while reserving the right to make further necessary reaction."

Among the many other lackluster performance standards by the Biden Administration - the most recent, allowing the Chinese Spy Balloon unfettered access to the skies above this Sovereign Republic - Joe Biden's foreign policy is considered by most true experts to be mediocre to abysmal at best. If one were to give a fair assessment of the quality of this apex duty of this Executive Branch: What would be your opinion of the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives and, or obvious faux pas?
  President Biden is a Foreign Policy expert of consummate skill just like his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter.
  America's First Idiot President is corruptly committed to making the World far less safe, while surrendering OUR United States of America's sovereignty whenever, wherever possible.
  Mr. Biden is MY President because I pay close attention to only what rewards me, thus demanding as little sacrifice as is my nature to offer, or shrug.
