According to Tucker Carlson last night, the US had been tracking the balloon since before it came into our airspace.

They should have shot it down long ago, well before it hit Montana, but they could have shot it down over unpopulated Montana as well.

The balloon may have already completed its mission!

If it was a Russian balloon, you can be sure it would have been shot down immediately.

Biden 'WILL try to shoot down' the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic so it can be retrieved and studied - as aircraft is due to exit the east coast over the Carolinas by noon today​

  • The aircraft was tracking towards the Carolinas this morning and is due to exit the east coast by noon after passing over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana
  • Biden decided against shooting the balloon down over US soil over fears for American lives and sparking an international incident, a senior US official said
  • Now the Pentagon is planning a shoot down and capture mission over US waters

How would it spark an international incident to shoot it down over Montana, but not if they shoot it down over the ocean?

These clowns are idiots.

They are trying not to kill anyone after shooting it down or would you prefer there are people killed over a dirigible?

That's just an excuse.

Montana Governor Gianforte said last night, that it should have been shot down over his state, becasue no one lives in Montana...


But we should have shot it down over Alaska!

It is somewhat disconcerting that the term is "try". If the gigantic treasure poured into U.S. 'defense' isn't entirely able to bring down a balloon, some heads deserve to roll (figuretively, of course).

Biden will try and do what now? Does anybody actually trust his aim? He probably can't even aim properly to get his piss into the toilet. If he even knows how to use the toilet that is.

Yeah, and the international incident has already occurred. China has a spy balloon floating over US soil.

As usual, the Left's narrative is transparently erroneous.

Our retaliation so far has been that Blinken has postponed his trip to China! This Admin is joke.

This administration has been far more effective at dealing with China than Donald Trump ever was. The Chinese are now back on their heels and utterly embarassed over this, not to mention, the USA will undoubtedly capture one of their spy balloons.

You calling other people clowns and idiots is the funniest thing you've posted all day.
Xi sent a giant middle finger to fly all over the US in front of the world, and his puppet did nothing.

They could have picked an area where nobody lives in Montana to shoot the balloon down. Montana is not like New York City. Onl a little over a million people live in Montana.

Here is a view of eastern Montana. …

Republicans should show up at the State Of The Union Show carrying balloons, and tie them to their chairs for Chicom Joe’s speech.

Pentagon briefing yesterday...


4:50..... "We know that it is a surveillance balloon.... The balloon has violated US airspace and international law."

6:30.... "It has the ability to maneuver."

11:20..... "The balloon has changed its course."

20:30... They had the capability to shoot down the balloon before it reached the US and decided not to.

21:00..... The balloon may be dropping sensors. Pentagon would not conifrm or deny.

Pentagon refused to answer most questions.

Notably, every time that he discussed the threat which the balloon poses, he stated that the balloon does not pose a military threat against "people on the ground." You know what that means.

Thats liberish

The balloon should have been shot down immediately but it took too long for negative public opinion to paint biden into a corner and make up his mind for him
