An hour later they’ll send up another balloon.

“China claims that its balloon was a “civilian airship” and not the spy device the US claimed it to be,”

Let’s release ballons over their airspace

Also, via Breitbart:

“The Biden administration was aware of the Chinese spy balloon entering United States airspace on January 28 but tried to hide its existence from the American people until being forced to go public, according to a report on Saturday.

Bloomberg News reported that the Biden administration was “well aware” that the balloon had entered U.S. airspace on Saturday, January 28, but decided to keep quiet about it so as not to ruin a planned trip by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China.

The outlet reported:

As it turns out, US authorities were well aware of the unidentified object that had entered American airspace on Jan. 28, that had then left and re-entered over North Idaho on Tuesday. But with such a high-profile trip at stake, keeping it on the down-low was key.”

if it was a “civilian airship”, then China was required to file a flight plan before entering US airspace

since China DIDN’T do that, US authorities have every right to assume it was hostile and a threat

maybe China can explain why they didn’t bother to file a flight plan?

I’m sure it was just a civilian effort to see whether it’s sprinkling in Billings, Kansas City, or Myrtle Beach. By the way, a NOAA radiosonde weighs 500 grams, or 1.1 pounds in Freedom Units. That’s a weather balloon. What just blew by wasn’t.

Sure, let's play a game of tit-for-tat. I suggest we halt all commerce from China as first response. Second, rescind all work permits and visas for all Chinese in the US and give them 30 days to leave. Third, bar all travel to and from China.

IF we had the balls, and didn't have Biden as president, I bet China would fold immediately.

China claims that its balloon was a “civilian airship” and not the spy device the US claimed it to be, and said that the US’s decision to destroy its property “seriously violates international convention,” according to a statement obtained by The New York Times.

Sod off, China. Your “property” was in *our* airspace without proper notification. Suck it.

They’ll be sending more.

A lot more, everywhere, and all at once.

It takes more than one EMP to end a civilization.

Okay. That’s it. Time to send enough mystery balloons to China to supply the balloon drop for a winning candidate!
You like balloons, Mr.Xi? Then we’ll give em to ya, by the metric ton!

Did they file a flight plan with the FAA?

No sale. I’m not buying what they’re peddling. This all seems orchestrated. Almost like they’re colluding with those in D.C. and this is all a front.
