That probably would happen if we had a President that had any common sense and a set and wasn't on China's payroll

Look at the comments on here!!!! Some are perfectly OK with it meandering it's way across this country because the Chinese said sorry its just a weather balloon that got lost by about 15,000 miles. And some of these guys I use to think had a bit more since than Biden. This nation is getting soft.

Current location thought to be 100 miles SE of St. Louis, over southern IL.......roughly following I-64. Heading towards KY, and picking up speed.

Hundreds of their satellites do it daily. Just a bit higher up. I’m interested in why people are so interested in shooting down a balloon with a million dollar missile.

Obviously whatever that thing is doing can't be done with satellites or they wouldn't have needed to sent it and your the only one I've heard say anything about using a million dollar missile. If it takes us using a million dollar missile to bring it down we just as well surrender to China now.....

News just said The Idiot wanted to shoot it down, but the Pentagon talked him out of it. The Idiot is a liar.

Hah! You'll think different when that thing comes and hovers over your cottage there in Maple Syrupville, Canada. Little Communist rascals will do a brain scan on you.

It's a provocation. Of course they can take pics of whatever they want with a satellite. However, the average Joe doesn't know where those satellites are. This, though, demonstrates to the whole world that an enemy can fly a balloon over the country that anyone can step outside their door and see, and Biden won't do anything about it. It shows that bold moves can be made against the US, and Biden won't do anything about it.

You know, it's too bad Dana Scully and Fox Moulder are retired and drawing their lucrative government pensions. This Chinese Weather Baloon business would make a good X Files Case. They could get to the bottom of it if anyone could.

Do you think they developed some spectacular technology that does some thing that we don’t understand? It’s probably just a balloon. But I’m sure they want to see what electronics are on it regardless. Why would they destroy it? Do you think we will scare them if we can shoot down a balloon?

yes I'm positive they have developed some spectacular technology that does something me and you don't understand and thats why you telling its nothing to worry about is amusing to me. And yes from my understanding it's just a balloon but it ain't here by accident which means it's here for for a purpose. Thirdly I'm positive we can bring it down without destroying it without an ounce of problem. As far as them being scared because we shot it down...... we need an over ur head emocji

Why didn't Canada take a shot at it when it went in their air space?
