They know what it’s seeing and are tracking it. Don’t blow it out the sky until you’ve got all the intell you need.

You don’t kill spies when you detect them, you monitor them going forward until you know it’s mission




Allegedly

The frickin Japs sent balloon bombs over the lake to us during WW2. Actually killed a few people. One of those stories lost to time for most people.
I had actually never heard of that. Reading into it the one that killed people happened in may 1945 and Hiroshima went up in august. Wonder if that incident played into their decision to go forward with the nuke.

We can’t shoot it down until our compromised government allows the Chinese to gather as much info as possible.

With human beings.

“Let the spy balloon stay in the air and spy so that we can see what they are spying on.”

I hope that isn’t how our espionage system works.

Chinese spy balloon

quote:

in the year 2023

You know what, this sounds so Chinese that I'm inclined to believe they would actually do this.

There sure are a lot of Chinese in Canada, many of whom are fighting age. That's just a coincidental observation.

Speaking of which, I seem to remember there being a fuss about a secret CCP "training facility" (aka, base) in either Alberta or British Columbia some years back before Covid tinted every headline. That would be a weird coincidence.

Precisely. "Hey Chinese, send all your data back home before we blow you out of the sky."
