Floating a Trial Balloon….Literally

Folks, nothing to worry about, it just drifted across the Aleutian islands to Montana where it stopped. Nothing nefarious at all. They're just collecting some weather stuff. Nothing to see here.
 


NENA- 99 Luftballons​


I love that song. If you could understand it in the German or find a real translation, not the sugar coated American English version, it is balls-on accurate about the people who profiteer from wars and how the idiots like those wanting us to attack Russia to save Ukraine help them do it.

She sings about them sitting in their office scheming to make money off this nascent war, not realizing they are about to be incinerated.
 
I guess we need a stronger phrase for WTF?

The Chinese just float spy balloons over us and Biden is stumped as to what to do about it?

Trump would have had a .50 Cal mounted on Air Force One and shot it down himself.

Don't want to be so dramatic? Fine. Announce where it is, tell the people in the area beneath it to shelter in place and get rid of it. Why in the pictures of it are there no American aircraft circling it? Too provocative toward the Chinese?
