How sad that we have a total moron as our president. With Biden as president and the current state of affairs at the FBI and DOJ and the illegal invasion this country will not survive very long. I have a feeling that we are going to have a real revolution soon. Very sad.

It should have been taken down shortly after entering US air space in Alaska. That way China would have been deprived whatever intellige4nce it gathered over CONUS and they wouldn’t be inclined to waste another balloon.

He would have defended Midway Island from the Japanese by sending the fleet to Pearl Harbor, according the timing on this incident.

Always a day late and a dollar short.

That balloon should have been torched the second it came within 200 miles of the Aleutian Islands. I am lucky to have served when we had a real President (Reagan), and strong military. Although I think our Military peaked sometime later, and there still alot of good people serving. There have been too many weak military leaders that have bowed down too the left and accepted progressive ideologies that do nothing but weaken our military. And we see the results: Navy ships colliding with civilian ships, the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal, and now this Chinese balloon allowed to cross the entire width of North America.
And as far as all this money and arms going to Ukraine, we have no dog in that fight & we are gonna be lucky if these dumb SOB’s in charge don’t get us all killed in a nuclear confrontation. We are poking the bear directly, alot different than past proxy wars.

Maybe it was Chinese, but designed to replace all of the 5G phones no longer allowed for official business in some states...

They have to maintain the options for control of our electronic communications, so why not test out the use of balloons?

“However, amid concerns about the potential dangers of downing the balloon over land, Biden said his national security officials decided that “the best time to do that was when it got over water.”

What, the 7000 miles of ocean between the two countries wasn’t enough?

We have no use for a politician that can’t make a national security decision in the span of a continent.

Or politicians that don’t have the gender-appropriate anatomy to call him out over it.

Biden gave the order—no doubt—but his jello did not understand it!

It’s 2023 and we can’t figure out how to burst a balloon without hurting someone on the ground?

I don't believe that this so called spy balloon was China's!

I believe that it was launched by US.

Parade out the Chinese debris if it was China's.

The debris of the spy apparatus was recovered from the sea wasn't it?

Was a very effective psyops to guide discussion away from the corrupt Biden family.....

Oh hell, with regards to our national sovereignty whats so bad about one Chinese spy balloon compared to the millions of invaders coming in at will on our southern border. Biden and the rest of his clown show don’t even believe in the concept of national sovereignty, we are all part of the global socialist network, whats ours is theirs, can’t we just all give up our guns, destroy all our nukes, and all sing kumba ya.....

Exactly. It was over the water in Aleutian air space when they first knew perfectly well its course was for mainland Alaska and they let it come. Whatever the Chinese mission was, they sure did prove our leadership and general state of alert is poor or nonexistent.

Now here is a conspiracy theory for you. The balloon contained all the original documents proving the Biden family’s crimes. In exchange for allowing the balloon to spy on the entire territory of Canada and USA, Biden would be allowed to shoot it down destroying the documents and save face.

Makes sense as anything else I guess. Because SOMEONE ordered nothing to be done as this entered out airspace. There is NO WAY this was not detected. NONE.
