This is just stupid by this administration wonder just how long the feds have been tracking this balloon.
Someone suggested on another thread that this could be used to spread something like a virus. And yet our current government does nothing. That makes the virus theory even more plausible in my mind. Knowing it is not patriots who are in control.
I read where they tracked it from when it entered our air-space over Alaska and then across Canada.
You are 6 hours late with that stupid joke, and it was not funny the first time the first moron did it. .
So I guess china’s advanced technology balloon has been discovered by the world. What a joke! The idea that China has a balloon versus satellites means that they are 70 years behind the times.
We need Maverick!
Future High Altitude EMP platform.
Shoot them all down. Or maybe we start flying some balloons over China.
That is very much in the hazard to navigation zone. Lots of charters go that high. A fighter needs to hole it with some non exploding rounds... let it deflate slowly then recover it and see what it is.
They could have a C-130 snatch that thing depending on how it’s configured, or put a few not exploding rounds into it. Let it settle to the ground, and capture it.
China is prepping.
Bingo! We should capture it. It is in US air space and thus, fair game.
Typical Republicans—demand a top secret briefing from a gang of pathological liars instead of demanding it be destroyed.
The stupid party is living up to its name....again....
I wonder if the balloon is cheaper than buying sensitive information directly from Xo Xidung or Humper?
Exactly. “. . . briefed on classified intelligence matters by the Executive Branch.” Trust the creators and purveyors of disinformation. /s
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? If it had Americans on board, they would probably waste no time to shoot it down or put everyone on board in jail.
Why didn’t they shoot it down over Canada? That’s even less populated than Montana. All we get from government is bs.
“We won’t shoot it down because it might have illegal aliens crossing our borders or it might have Joe’s most recent 10% off the top.”
Why shoot it down when our own listening devices can pick up everything the balloon picks up? I would be pretty certain the re is a counter intelligence operation in progress.
So we would be spying on their spying gadgets?
Now, now, I’m sure Brandon cleared the use of the balloon with his boss Xi.
