This is all a bunch of noise, China owns 75% of our politicians and 50% of our country. We won't do shite, that's why we let it travel the entire country first.

By the looks of this thread the establishment is getting support from Americans for WW3 with China.

I think they were counting on us not doing anything, probably because they didn't think we could reach it. So we let the balloon cruise along like it's NBD because we're not worried about it then nonchalantly pop it like we could al along. It turns an embarrassment for the US into an embarrassment for China.

No shite. You should have stopped there but you continued with idiocy.

Pretending you have any clue about technology, current or future, is whats really laughable. Take off the blinders and stop being so short sighted. You have, with no uncertainty, zero clue what this thing was all about.

It could be everything, it could be nothing. Hell, it could be an event created by Biden and Xi in order "scare" the US into dumping $ into the space force, which of course will end up in Bidens bank account eventually. So laughing at something you have no clue about just makes you look like a retard.

Exactly, and to keep up the ruse, China publicly expresses faux dissatisfaction. Everyone wins.

interesting...


Interesting indeed. where did it launch from? China isn't exactly pur bordering neighbor. I they didn't want it over our airspace or any other country, they should have had plenty of time to intervene.

probably not but a weak leader is sometimes exactly the kind that gets us drawn into war because we appear so weak with him at the helm, our opponents see it as an opportunity to attack

Like they wouldn't shoot down an American balloon over China


They would have never let it get there.

Unlike Brandon who let it complete its mission first

What are you gonna shoot it with at 60k feet?


Oh, I don't know, maybe something less than a WDU-17/B warhead. Ya know?
Send a sidewinder up there with an M-80 or something?
I'm a civilian and I came up with that. Don't you think our protectors could have figured out a way to take it down in a salvageable manner?

You think it went directly over the Montana ICBM fields just by chance? People are assuming it only had imaging capability. We have no idea.

It's like those saying it could carry an emp. That shite arse balloon couldn't carry the average OTer in a lawn chair


The balloon, in fact, appears to carry a quite large payload, according to the photos captured from the ground and shared online.

Lol the people crying about this balloon are a special kind of retard. Especially the politics board but what else is new. The Chinese have over 250 satellites and second most advanced space program in the world. They’ve been spying on us for years and we’ve been spying on them.

This whole thing was a big nothingburger and people should just enjoy the memes from it.
