Chinese spy balloon hovering over Montana

LOL

Your risk tolerance must be minuscule.

He's wearing a Nomex suit and crash helmet at his computer. You just never know.

Then make it about his appearance and don't reach to tie it to this.

His weakness isn’t just about his appearance. You hated the brash one , now you voted in a weak one ti replace orange man . Joe apple sauce doesn’t personify strength in any way . This ballon is just happening on his watch so he gets the credit or blame like all the others .

Montana is one of least populated states in the USA. The potential "debris" has a much greater chance of hitting a tree or pile of grizzly bear crap instead of person.

Can't have any debris fall on the set of Yellowstone an delay the next season.

 

[McDad]

Your jealousy is ugly.

Much like your nüüdz

Alec Baldwin should teach Costner the proper way to load a prop gun.

I'm curious how you're so certain about this situation and what risk it presents. I'm pretty sure the only any of know is that there's a Ballon over Montana and it's Chinese.

I'm certain because of science. Are our scientists suddenly incompetent after 3 years of "trust the science"?

 

[Weezer]

How did it even get to Montana? Why was it not intercepted when it first entered our airspace somewhere over the Pacific?

 

[McDad]

How do we get rockets into space and people back?

 

[Weezer]

Tik Tok gathers more intelligence for the chinese government then one of their rogue weather balloons..

Not disagreeing, but it seems Washington only got concerned with TikTok when Google and Facebook started taking a back seat.

Maybe they are competent enough to say this presents an x% risk of a certain outcome.

I think it came through Canada

 

[hndog609]

They need to devote a whole episode of Letterkenny to this incident.

 

[StarRaider]

I think it came through Canada

heard it came in over the Aleutians to Alaska and then through goose country.

 

[Weezer]

Okay, why didn't the Canadians shoot it down when it invaded their airspace? And truthfully, I thought we aided in protecting Canadian airspace as part of our own national security. The fact it's made it as far as it has suggests someone, somewhere, screwed the pooch.

Canadians are woke and don’t want to offend the Chinese. Instead they allowed safe passage.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Are you suggesting we can't figure out how to bring it down safely? Is that your argument?

No, I was pointing out that despite being a know it all orange tsar is blissfully ignorant

 

[Orangeburst]

We now have an open border on the North
Open borders for errybody

When is the last time a Canadian shot anything?

 

[ClearwaterVol]

It you don’t think our Air Force, who can park a warhead within 10 meters of a target halfway around the world can’t calculate how to land a ballon from 60,000 feet within a ten mile uninhabited circle in the Great Plains, I feel sorry for you

So, you distrust the government and everything they do but are willing to trust them for this?

and by the way I expect you to study up and answer my questions

 

[Weezer]

Ryan Reynolds has knocked Blake Lively up three times.

Sounds like my honeymoon in Banff.

 

[volinbham]

I think it's fully of bat virus' - when it gets over the center of the country they'll pull the cord to dump it.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Take a spin on the Trans-Canada Hwy?

Our response to this, cancelling already planned diplomatic engagements, tells me we know this isn't some simple weather monitoring device. I haven't followed this thread but our response is telling.

The Chinese care nothing of the environment, they really do think we are stupid, or unwilling to confront them. They are growing very bold.
