Former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller slammed the Biden administration's response to a Chinese spy craft crossing U.S. airspace. He called for accountability.
US President Joe Biden meets with China's President Xi Jinping during a virtual summit from the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, November 15, 2021. In this photo provided by Chad Fish, a large balloon drifts above the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of South Carolina, with a fighter jet and its contrail seen below it, on Saturday, Feb. 4.
Kirby added that the"object" landed on frozen waters, and that"fighter aircraft assigned to U.S. Northern Command took down the object within the last hour." "We had to send up $100 million aircraft to shoot it down with a $400,000 missile. The cost curve is all off on that one," he said." Friday, Fox News contributor Joe Concha called Kirby's explanation of the downed craft"clear as mud" and argued that neither he nor Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would have broached the topic if it hadn't been brought up.
