re: Chinese spy balloon spotted over Montana, and no one really seems to be talking about it

Diplomats should have been being frog marched with hoods on their heads toward waiting suv's when that piece of shite was impacting the ground 30 minutes after they first discovered it. The same time 6 mk-48 torpedoes impacted that shiny new Tonka Toy aircraft carrier they have. I think it's name is the Snapper Reef if I remember correctly.

Brandon's probably got F-15's flying CAP for that thing in case some hee haw governor tries to do their duty with their Air Natinal Guard.

B-1's don't have ANY air to air capability and eagles do have the ASAT missile but not sure if it works on balloons.

I know but it's the only gif like that I have.

Of course, our politicians and China are on the same side so it makes sense.

Or they don’t want the debris to hit people, and think they can be able to gather info on just observing it and don’t believe there’s anything it’s flying over that’s worthy of being shot down right now

But sure let’s go with that

Shoot it down - they asshoe

Jessie Watters just teased that Biden wanted to shoot it down, but the DOD said "No". Very strange..

This thread about to pull a hard 180 turn.

No one thinks Biden is actually making decisions here. The guy has dementia and can't form sentences

Other than the president, the pentagon, and the folks reading about it as the No. 1 story on Washington Post, FOX News, Daily Beast, etc.

Yea, I’m sure NSA and CIA/DOD are totally stumped and in the dark on what that thing is sending back to Beijing

Tell me you don't understand encryption without telling me.

Even the simplest modern encryption techniques are practically uncrackable. Knowing the Chinese copy everything we do I seriously doubt the NSA has a fricking clue what is being transmitted.

More like WHEN to. Want to be careful about where it falls.

I’m guessing the when would be anytime it’s over Montana, one of the Dakotas, etc. Nothing’s going to be bothered by it falling to earth out there.

Amazing to me that the story is there is a Chinese spy balloon flying over the US mainland rather than “a suspected Chinese spy balloon fell to the ground due to unknown causes .”
