The U.S. is considering a plan to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon once it crosses over the Atlantic Ocean, where it could fall without causing harm to anyone below and potentially be recovered, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.
President Biden addressed the balloon briefly Saturday in response to a reporter's question, saying, "we're going to take care of it."
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Retards. They were hoping the American public would never hear about the balloon in the first place...

Looks like the ChicCom balloon is going to be shot down soon once it moves over the Atlantic.

Shoot it down after it’s gathered all it Intel and relayed back to China. Good plan.

After China has already sents it spy data back to China. Great job Beijing Biden!

That way the CbiCom spy tech will go straight to Davy Jones’ locker.

Fit an incendiary rocket on a jet and hit the balloon. Then you get most of the tech intact.

We need to recover it and see what it does. Certainly the ChiComs would rather it ends up in the ocean.

Q: “Any comment on China?”
Biden, after days of inaction on the CCP spy balloon: “We’re going to take care of it.”

yep, shoot down to appease the mob but do it where no one will ever be able to examine the remains for the balloon’s true purpose. Win-Win for Joe!

It doesn’t make sense to me that a giant balloon drifting in the wind could sneak up on us and come to dominate fake news in 24 hours.
If the US operates balloons of this sort, peaceful democratic balloons, over other countries what happens to them?

Cameras and comm with satellites? We do that from Mars, and beyond. What would China risk on this mission?
