Tango down. America wins again.

What the frick is wrong with you, you fricking piece of shit? Do you really think it's okay to shoot down a balloon over land just because you don't like America? You're an fricking idiot and I hope you rot in heck.

He just needed a good balloon with a gun to stop it!

Did they at least spend those days waving Pooh flags at its cameras, or was the whole thing a total loss?

That's what I was thinking as well, if chinks were probing american response time then it ain't looking good

It was theater. Everyone needed to see this to set the stage for the next thing.

Get the frick out, commie.

Time to ask the real questions

how much did this cost?

how was it secretly done by putin?

what part did trump play in this?

should I make a random fluffy kitten pics post again?

Like when Brandon’s classified material was first discovered at his home days before the midterms and covered it up until January

He gives us a new one every year though. I still chuckle remembering the Afghanis clinging onto the plane even after it already took off.

The balloon probably didn't give the chicoms any important intel and certainly wasn't a military attack. It was just a stunt - a way for the chinamen to needle the US on the world stage.

"Herro american rookee rookee we send spy craft into your airspace you can't do anything rhile it rove you rong time."

I'm convinced a war with China in 2 years is a certainty, so I'm guessing:

1. a) Chinese are testing the waters and ameriKKKans are cucks, the age of white man is over, rightoids complaining US is in decline were right, the future is Chinx

2. b) Chinese are testing the waters and AmeriKKKa is playing weak to lure them in

3. It wasn't Chinese to begin with, afaik Chinx never confirmed it's theirs, it was a psyop to get ameriKKKans to perceive the Chinx as a threat

Either which of these is actually true, they all predict more such incidents in the future

What I read is that certain surveillance stuff is better in air than in space, like ground penetrating radars. No clue how true that is though.

I think it's probably to intercept communications. Maybe cell phones? I dunno what exactly you would need to get that close for instead of just flying over in orbit.

It was either an innocent weather monitoring balloon doing legitimate climate research, or it was an attack vector for a new biological weapon.

It was carrying a large anvil to drop on a pesky roadrunner that has proven difficult to capture with proven weapons systems

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.

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

Biden’s a Chinese cuck, couldn’t shoot it down until it was done spreading chink superaids/recording all our military bases

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.

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
