I guess if the balloon wasn’t threat enough to shoot down before it flew over the whole country then why bother shooting it down once it’s gone?



Clearly to shut up right-wing media.

Will there be any remain of this ting for evaluation so we will know exactly what it was.??


This has been my question; why not just pop the balloon and collected the wrecked payload to examine later.
Was it necessary to fricking missile the thing into thousands of nearly useless pieces?
Perhaps our leaders are doing a china a solid by giving them plausible deniability about what was actually getting survieled.

None of this is the point. You’re working hard to rationalize something that is obviously out of the norm.


Nobody is rationalizing anything. Just pointing out that it ain’t a big spy device.

If that's a real statement it just shows how weak this Administration is...they violate our air space and are pissed at us.


It's PR spin. I have no love for the current administration, but pretending as though China wouldn't have said the exact same thing regardless of administration is pure wishcasting fantasy

I would just offer to replace the cost of the weather gathering materials if it was truly that.

Should be no issue. If it was truly weather gathering device...
