Spy balloon sent by China to US skies,

[Rightguide]

“Why won’t Biden shoot down the Chinese spy balloon that is currently flying over the United States?” asked Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). “The Chinese Communist Party is a threat to our existence.”

Its a good question, IMO!

One has to wonder why this wouldn't have been shot down over places like Montana or North Dakota which for the large part is sparsely populated.

How do we answer the Chinese in kind? Send the Secretary of State and the Commandant of the Marine Corps to visit Taiwan.

Just saw a report that the payload under this balloon is as big as a bus.

Because sparsely means there's still people in danger of falling debris, genius.

XI, YOU’VE LOST ANOTHER BALLOON? Canada monitoring potential second incident of suspected ‘spy balloon.’

 

[jaF0]

Marsha is a threat to the US.

Where are the nuts with the guns now?

 

[KeithD]

Having spent a few years in satellite photography intel, I'm not wild about getting into a "shoot them down" war with any of the other countries heavily involved in it--because we are and always have been.

Pentagon won’t rule out shootdown of ‘maneuverable’ China spy balloon​

they're in your neighborhood -
courts just ruled that guys or people with domestic charges or crimes etc - can buy guns.
now he can just shoot the fucking bitch.

 

[snailspace]

This seems more then a mere weather balloon. Has the chance to escalate, hope not. Action must be employed or the US will seem weak.

Wrong, only when the person is subject to civil charges or non-violent crimes.

DOD has already said is an intelligence-gathering balloon, in clear violation of international law and a violation of our airspace. They've been watching this thing for weeks. It should have been shot down before it crossed over the west coast.

So you're advocating for an escalated response or the US will seem weak. Right

Yeah, the US should do something like snailbrain suggests.

Maybe forge a new military agreement with The Philippines that gives the US use of / access to a host of Philippine military bases.

Yeah, something like that ^ would be good.

"It doesn't seem that this balloon is capable of gathering intelligence that would be significantly beyond what could also already be gathered by, say, satellites," Myre added.

this photo was released by don jr's idiot fucking daddy.
the idiot blabbermouth revealed to the world our spy satellite capabilities.
during his fucked up 4 years - many of ours spies and sources were killed. far more than usual.
deff not a coincidence.
maybe someone that openly brags about assaulting women, wanting to fuck his own daughter, rapes women in dressing rooms - I can go on.
but maybe a shit with his head in shit like that, shouldn't have a job anywhere.

I sent up a balloon with an eyeball and a fuck you finger painted on to intercept it. 'merica

 

[phrodeau]

It’s unmanned, so it’s controlled remotely. We just need to find the frequency, break the encryption, and send it to Antarctica.

And yet Biden allows a chinese spy balloon to invade our sovereign air space. Me thinks you suffer from selective poutrage.

well, where you'd rely on don jr's daddy to 'take care of the problem'
biden defers to the experts - the best military in human history.
just like you'd take medical advice from jr's daddy -
normal people rely on the greatest medical minds in history.
where the daddy sees putin as a friend, and smart, and someone we can trust.
we see a fucking tyrant, bully, mass murderer, war crime committer.

 

[KeithD]

My bet is that the military guys are busy trying to figure out how to bring it down without shooting it down. Having it more-or-less intact to research is highly desirable.

Amusingly, my Lit. story that posted today is about Chinese technology spying in the United States.

 

[lazy_literotic]

speaking of total stupidity - here come jr!!! haha.
he wants his patriots to shoot it down themselves.
it's like 11 miles up haha.

You completely misunderstand ineedhelp1.

ineedhelp1 can’t stand the orange traitor, despite having voted for the orange traitor twice, and a willingness to vote for the orange traitor again.

ineedhelp1 also carries water for the orange traitor at every opportunity, so…….

You AND Laz suffer from selective poutrage. Maybe Laz will share its meds with you, you’re coming apart at the seams. TDS on steroids will do that to ya!
