If we do this - and the US tried the same stunt (balloons over Russia) - we risk the CHICOMs blasting/blinding our spysats as they fly over China.

I would not shoot it down.

Go up and drag it down to get all the crap they have hanging under it.

Or puncture it so it drops down where we can grab it.

You all remember when the reds grabbed one of our planes and made such a big deal out of that back when GW Bush first started his term?

We’re letting the Chinese simply maneuver this thing wherever they please around the US while we sit around doing nothing.

Why do people immediately just assume it’s a harmless spy balloon, and not a biological delivery system?

That balloon is probably carrying a pallet of cash for Hunter and “the big guy”.

A slow drone could snare it with a wire and bring it back.
Sniff for explosive booby traps!

Who needs stealth or hypersonic when we can just count on our enemy’s stupidity?

I heard that the reason we know it’s not a weather balloon is that we’ve known for weeks they were planning to do this.

Why Junta Joe won't shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon. ( I've heard this image is censored on Facebook. Ha!)

If its just a weather balloon China should have no problem if we shoot it down and send them a bill for the cost of shooting it down.

Who knows? It might be a US balloon designed to pick up weak radio signals from China and Russia. Much like a balloon over the US was designed to do IN 1947. It crashed and became the “FIRST UFO CRASH NEAR ROSWELL NEW MEXICO!”

How about this viewpoint.

Just maybe, could our US Dept of Defense have sold the balloon and its spyware to the Chinese?

We already are pretty certain that our US HHS sold the process on how to make the covid virus to the Chinese?

If the balloon is shot down, Biden would have to admit that the spyware was really USA spyware sold to the CCP.

If we are reluctant to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon, will we be as reluctant when Chinese bombers fly over the US? Or has it to do with Joe and Hunter being in Xi’s pocket?

Trump should know.

Trump should have shot down those Italian satellites.

Sydney Powell was right.

how about we get some moose limbs to fly into that balloon? I hear they’re very good at flying into things.

Why is the balloon passing over ONLY conservative states?:
Here is the path:

That’s pretty brilliant. If they don’t shoot down the balloon it shows everyone that they don’t care about China spying on us. If they do Trump can say “See....they listened to me!”
