The military said they were aware of it, they said it wasn't the first balloon the Chinese have sent over either, just the first one seen by civilians.
The military have probably been tracking, monitoring, and intercepting any data these balloons have sent, while minimizing any data the Chinese got. Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake, and all that.
Biden forced it to be shot down because it was all over the news, and it probably wasn't helping his already in the potty approval ratings.

Bidenβs a Chinese cuck, couldnβt shoot it down until it was done spreading chink superaids/recording all our military bases

Because everyone has to βseeβ the Chinese as a growing threat in order to approve the next trillion for an upcoming military operation.

Because it would be dangerous to shoot it down over rural America. Look at how fast it nosedived out of the sky. Would have killed thousands.

Nice of them to shoot it down after it crossed the entire US and did its job. Beijing Biden probably had to get the okay from Xi first.

yeah I don't understand why burgers are pretending this is a W, if that balloon had biological weapons or something of the sort thousands could be dead by now

They instantly knew what it was and moved anything important out of the way. They just tracked and studied it and popped it as soon as they were done. They couldβve shot it down over Alaska if they had wanted to. An F-22 intercept with a sidewinder is totally trivial.

Probably because there's about zero chance China would deliver a biological weapon attack against the US via a fricking balloon.

It's a bit like watching r-slurs with a bucket. You let them play a bit, see what they can do, then you take it away.
At no point do you worry about the r-slurs. I just hope the r-slurs were r-slurred enough to put live r-slurs in it and have an r-slur fit over their splattered r-slurs.

We knew of it back when it first crossed into Alaska in late January and tracked it ever since so response time was on the money.

Seem like? I think the ip theft is well documented at this point. This is leading to more military spending imho, and possible war.

The IP theft is a good thing, it's how developing economies get started. It's how the US started too.

I meant denying the Chinese access to certain processors in an attempt to keep them on the back foot technologically. It seems like the US is really just trying to scare China to keep them from pulling a similar invasion into Taiwan within the near future. We need time to build up semiconductor manufacturing in the US.
I'll never understand why the US decided to go all in on China after the cold war instead investing in infrastructure and manufacturing in central and south america. would have lead to greater stability and prevented any one trade partner from becoming too powerful.
