A serious country would bring it down.
A country that doesn't have a Chinese operative as President would shoot it down.
Totally agree.
What the heck is wrong with us, U.S.?
The military is worried about the consequences of debris hitting something on the ground. Wherever it winds up, it will make a mess. Sending over a balloon like that was a hairbrained stunt by the Chinese. Overreacting will play into their hands.
Someone on patriots.win said,
“If I’m China, and I’m about to invade Taiwan.. The one thing that would be the most valuable to me is up-to-date target information for my retaliatory strikes on America if attacked”
And a troll here said “China has satellites”
But this is China testing their fallback recon methods to get around the US anti-satellite capabilites.
I predict China and Russia will both attack at once, now that treasonous kiddie-sniffer Dementia Joe has depleted the strategic oil reserves and a lot of our military stocks.
Ask for blowing it up what is this balloon is filled with dirty bomb materials selenium comes to mind rather quickly and then America shoots it down spreads his radioactive stuff all over the place and then turns around And tries to blame China? The Chinese will just say well you are no 1 said shot it down, we were just floating a balloon.
