Any chance we shot down the Chinese balloon over Montana?

Are there any updates on what it could be?

It's spreading the new virus over northern Iowa right now. Coming to a state near you soon.

If Trump was in office yes. The pussy we have in power now has too much CCP cock in his mouth. He shoots it down little Hunter can forget about continuing to get his kickbacks from the Chinese government.

Before we shoot it down, we need to publically inform the chinese that we will fly sampling aircraft below it when we burst it and if we detect any redioactive material, or biological materials, we will consider it a first strike act of war by the Chinese and will respond to their act with overwhelming force. Then ask them if we should shoot it down.

There is a part of me that thinks our military is not so much afraid of the baloon as they are uncertain what is inside it and are watching with overwhelming caution. Once released, there is no containing whatever it has inside mixed with the helium.

No. Trump suggested we shoot it down and Biden always does the opposite of Trump’s recommendations.

Have you not seen the news for a couple of days. It’s a Chinese balloon and the compromised people that is running this country said they wouldn’t shoot it down because they were worried about civilians getting hurt. And that was when the balloon was over Montana. I wasn’t very good in history when I was in high school but I do remember that Montana is pretty much open land except for the metro areas

Maybe I’ve watched too many movies, but shouldn’t there be a way for us to go up and capture the damn thing and bring it in?

I don't think so. Going that high is precarious at best.

Dems won't get paid if we shoot it down.

It is foolish to believe that China can't remotely descend the balloon so that it's not just floating around anymore.

The spying isn't really the problem. I think they're doing PR to make us look weak.

I think most people who are in charge of things understand this balloon is flying at a high enough altitude that we cant just send a plane and shoot it down, before we get into the fact of controlling how the debris will land, and it isnt a real national security threat to the degree that we'd want to use the shite that we want to keep secret

If anything its biggest aim is most likely to cause internal division, or the off chance of getting us to reveal more of our air defenses

It’s a distraction from something larger. In fact, Trump and John Kerry are currently in Antarctica negotiating with the Lizard People to remain underground for another 100 years.

They were reporting the balloon was over Kansas already.

Here’s the highest sky dive ever from 128k feet.

The balloons are 60k feet and our liberal Chinese President government says we dont have the tech to put a pin size hole in a balloon and let it gently fall down
