“Jessie Watters was saying Biden ordered the military to shoot it down and they refused. I don’t know his source.”
Yeah, I’d like to know his source. It’s an intrusion of our national borders by an aircraft of an adversary who has been making threats against us. Take it out.

They have sattillites, why do they need a balloon?

I’ve been wondering that too. What virus/chemical warfare are they going to drop on us?
To: rod5591
As I understand it, President Biden doesn't want to bring the balloon down in a remote area because it risks causing casualties on the ground.
Gravity being what it is, the free-roaming balloon will always pose something of a risk and should be taken down in a planned way while still over a remote area.
Why wait until it is over a densely populated area where this unguided balloon could fail and fall into a major city?
I'm starting to have questions about the President's thought process.

One of our top military men has an agreement with Red China not to let the president do anything without giving the enemy an advance notice.

The Chinese balloon is returning Biden’s confidential records.

Currently, no one knows what that very large balloon is carrying. The Air Force should snag it like they do for returning satellites and have a look see.

They should have terminated that thing before it entered US air space.

Satellites cannot take air samples over a particular site, whereas a balloon could.

Balloons have long been used to conduct air sampling for radioactive isotopes. They can also collect samples to test for biological agents.

What a bizarre story. And the most bizarre part is that our Pentagon has chosen to do nothing. In no other generation or presidency would this have been allowed to happen. You can bet we’ve been tracking it before it touched US soil in Alaska. And yet, here we are.
