Balloon Down

[Delldude]

You have any idea how much intel this thing gathered???

On the other hand, do you have any idea what intel they fed them?

Mr. Biden listened his General's who advised NOT bringing down that balloon over a populated area. Once it was over open water, then it was shot down.

Will Xi send him a bill?

If Joe was going to shoot the thing down why did he wait till it fulfilled its mission?... it was over water before it got here... WTF America.... who is Joe Biden?... who owns his ass?....

To make sure only US Naval assets could get there hands on it. Not two Cletis' drinking beer in the woods, taking pieces of it home to their garages.

Sorry to pop your bubble Cletis.

Video Transcript​

a massive balloon flying above Montana has captured the headlines US government officials say it's a reconnaissance vehicle but China's foreign ministry said Friday that it is a civilian airship mainly doing meteorological research here's what we know about this so called spotlight balloon and how it compares to the normal weather balloons first let's start with how they are similar both are powered by the wind and at the mercy of the jet stream but there's a big difference in just how long they're in the air and how far they can travel despite balloon has been tracked for several days soaring over Alaska and Canada before reaching the northern tier of the U. S. weather balloons remain in the air for just a couple of hours and often travel just 100 miles then there's the size difference the surveillance balloon is estimated to be as big as the new buses where as a weather balloon starts out at just 6 feet in diameter and expands as it rises maxing out at 20 feet across their purpose is to measure pressure temperature and relative humidity and while we don't know the purpose of this spy balloon or what it could be recording as it flies high above commercial airspace government officials say it poses no threat and they have no plans to shoot it down

F-22 out of Langley. One AIM-120. Splash.

They should send the balloon part back to Xi with an invoice for the AIM-120.

Actually it was zeked about 66,000 above Surfside,S C.

 

[Rocko]

If it was really a sophisticated spy balloon it would have shot down immediately. It was probably a dry run and we knew that, which in my opinion is more reason for us to have shot it down right earlier

 

[Delldude]

So you believe China, right?

Ask Blinken.

 

[Rambunctious]

Yes, off the coast of Myrtle Beach, SC. You're a big shot at the Pentagon, right?

After it gathered all the info it sought... mission accomplished thanks to Joe Biden....

 

[Manonthestreet]

With Satellite capabilities dont tell me a balloon was a better option for pics

 

[surada]

After it gathered all the info it sought... mission accomplished thanks to Joe Biden....

What info did this weather balloon gather? Do you have any proof or just ignorant speculation and Trump style conspiracy theories?

 

[Rambunctious]

To make sure only US Naval assets could get there hands on it. Not two Cletis' drinking beer in the woods, taking pieces of it home to their garages.

Sorry to pop your bubble Cletis.

The waters off of Alaska are our waters what are you talking about Beavis?... we have air power in the area and could have dropped this thing in an instant... Biden allowed it to complete its mission...WHY?

 

[Unkotare]

Maybe the CCP was looking for some tips on golfing.

 

[Rambunctious]

It went right over three strategic airbases and 22 missile silos in Montana alone... what do you think it was doing?... looking for more farmland to purchase??? lol

 

[BackAgain]

So you believe China, right?

No. They “lied” when they admitted the balloon was theirs.

You fucking retard.

 

[Rambunctious]

China sent us the American people a message with this low flying spy balloon... That the USA belongs to them now and there will be more surveillance to come....

 

[Woodznutz]

It should have been shot down immediately, for the mental well-being of the citizenry (we never know when another stupid decision by our government will cause someone to go berserk and start shooting up the place).
