So long story short, the spy balloon tracked its way across our key air installations.

And Biden let him do it?

Apparently.

That's the shock really when we talk about – I don't want to steal your thunder, but the drone story, not able to detect this sort of incursion or deal with it is the big problem here.

If we look at it through a perspective of it must be a spy mission for the United States, it would just simply be a transit because you don't want to miss number one, having having it available to go over mostly land would require coming across the Bering Strait.

rather than get swept away by ocean winds.

But then going across through Canada, through our strategic sites, that balloon was equipped with all sorts of optical capabilities.

It seemed very primitive, but it was actually very sophisticated.

And it just so happened to cut through our really important missile bases in the middle of the country.

So they're collecting intelligence.

This is the thing about warfare is,

it's a game of skating where the puck is going to be.

You need to know what your enemy is going to be doing in the future rather than right now.

Terrifying that it could decide anything is terrifying.

Well, so these systems are useful for narrowing down the battlefield, but there are a number of things that no advanced technology can change about warfare.

You still have to feed armies.

You still have to fuel ships and planes and logistics.

Feed armies, not when they're Optimus robots.

Well, back in my day, which seems like so recently, but it was 13 years ago now, brigade combat teams were able to deploy anywhere in the world.

Within 96 hours.
