“So we would be spying on their spying gadgets?”

Why wouldn’t we. All part of counterintelligence.

Given all the accumulated failures by The Pentagram, I wouldn’t trust anything they have to say about the balloon.

What time is the EMP burst scheduled for? I need to microwave a large roast and can’t have it interrupted.

Ridiculous that this balloon or whatever it is hasn’t been taken down yet.

Glad it doesn't have an EMP on it.

I heard this isn’t the first time either. Just the first time we’ve been told about it. So what happened to those other balloons?

That is a great question…

Of course we could have a couple of F35’s shot it down. It should have been kakked when it hit the Aleutian islands.

Here is the Monkey Werx US SITREP 2.3.23 - Chinese Balloon Over the United States! on YouTube.   He has all the skinny. He advised that the payload is as big as three school buses and a second balloon is being tracked over Canada right now.

I started it a few seconds before he starts talking about the balloon.

I bet Biden was thinking “They said they would send my 10% in secret way...”

It has been drifting between 40kft and 50kft. All current USAF and USN fighters have service ceilings above 50kft. All current USAF and USN fighters have an integral 20mm Vulcan cannon.

Jus’ sayin’ ...

I’m with you. Hell we had a 52k ceiling fighter in 1949. The F2H Banshee!

Liberals claim the Chinese spy balloon was just a bunch of hot air.
