After the spy balloon flew thousands of miles above the United States, Biden made the decision to shoot it down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen [Joe Biden] talked late in his speech and it took nearly an hour for him to get to it,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cBut when he finally got to China, and he said, \u2018We\u2019re standing up [to] China and America stronger than ever before, and our enemies are weaker.\u2019 It was utterly absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, we just finished last week, the world watching as a Chinese spy balloon for over a week hovered over U.S. Army bases, secure installations, committing espionage and Biden weakly and impotently rank wrung his hands, he did nothing,\u201d Cruz continued. \u201cAnd then finally, after it completed its mission, he shot it down once the mission was over once our security had been compromised. And the result of that is Xi and every other enemy in the world took the measure of the commander-in-chief, and they concluded he was weak. He was not willing to defend U.S. airspace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that was actually one of the major objectives of the incursion,\u201d Cruz added. \u201cI think the Chinese knew the balloon would be spotted, it was visible to the naked eye, they knew it would be spotted. And yet, they also knew Biden would be so weak, he wouldn\u2019t do anything about it, or they suspected it. And he confirmed that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden spent 58 minutes and 3 seconds talking about China. China is the nation that poses the biggest threat to the U.S., and has just spent a week spying with no consequences on our most sensitive military facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Biden suggests that this is the opposite. &#8220;competition&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SOTU?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SOTU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/arZY7ZCxvU\">pic.twitter.com\/arZY7ZCxvU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1623158351432503296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2023<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
