The White House said Friday it is "keeping all options on the table" regarding the Chinese spy balloon after President Biden followed "strong" recommendations from defense officials not to shoot down the aircraft due to safety to people on the ground.
White House officials said Biden made his decision based on a "strong recommendation" from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley and the commander of Northern Command

Agree. We landed men on the moon, for gosh sakes.
If it was the other way around the Chinese would be freaking out
while everyone is watching this stupid balloon, China is doing something they dont want anyone to see.
I’ll buy “it’s merely a weather balloon” for ten dollars.
Ain’t it a coinkydink how ever nation we are on the verge of war with, or is at war currently, has the Biden stank on it?
Well let’s see what they say tomorrow. The pressure is building. People want that thing shot down. Better yet they can take it down and confiscate the equipment.
😂😂
Yeah, Joe, keep them on the table where they can’t do any bad or good.
They’ve known about it since over the Aleutian Islands. The collateral damage excuse is bull shiite. Also, I doubt Joe got any “strong advice” not to shoot it down, just that he won’t go against his Chinese paymasters.
Joe should be arrested and jailed tonight.
That’s what I think they’ll do, and brag about what a strong military showing that is.
Which begs the question, did they not detect it when it was coming over the Pacific, or some rando Chinese spy in Montana launched it?
How about sending in a floating pin?
Snag it with the SR71 replacement and drop the remnants at Xi’s.
Awesome!
Too damn bad the SOB balloon didn’t cross over Texas I would’ve shot the freaking chit down!!! Where the hell are the patriots?
I don’t recall weather balloons being so big and having such a vast array of stuff handing below.
And left well-hung by morning.
Crossed Montana nothing but wheat fields for as far as you can see.
Don't forget...that thing is being tracked by China and picking up "perfect coordinates for THEIR system.
Option 1: Americans endure humiliation
Option 2: Bring back the documents scandal and the Hunter headlines. Maybe go back to Option 1.
Option 3: Jill, I’m going to turn in early. So tired today.
