Where do you think they got the spy technology from? China has yet to meet a piece of intellectual property that it couldn’t poorly replicate.

In related news, China has just announced the formation of a Blues Derived Heavy Metal Band they Are naming “Led SpiBalloon”

The simplest explanation is always the most likely. It fits

He is in his basement.

He is in his basement.

Or on “vacation” (ie intensive IV medication treatment)

True, China isn’t beholden to Biden.

What China would do is not a factor in what we will, or ought, to do.

However, I've seen the thought posted here and heard the same comment made by numskull call ins on radio shows so, you know, it's a typically popular yet dumbass thought.

How is what would China do not applicable?

They are not us.

We have a lot more considerations and we don't have a unitary leader who works in secret. We deliberate. We study on a problem and act in ways that account for many interests.

Let's say that the military here was in fact advising that there is risk in shooting it down. To those on the ground within miles and miles. We factor that in.

China would not. That's what makes this country great and superior to China. Perhaps you have forgotten that.

 

[VFL28]

Irrelevant.

How so?

 

[lawgator1]

How so?

See immediately above yours.

We had several chances to put it on the ground from the Aleutian Islands and mainland Alaska to Montana. There’s no excuses. The incompetence from Joe is obvious and you are too.

I’d bet if Trump was Prez you’d be calling him a puss and saying he was Xi’s lil biatch. Instead, Joe really is his lil biatch.

 

[lawgator1]

The irony is that if Trumplestilskin were POTUS now and had not shot it down you'd be congratulating him for his steady hand and calm approach to the situation. And so would I.

But it's Biden. So your unwritten contract with Tucker, Jim Jordan, MTG, and the rest of the opportunists requires you to blast that Biden is weak.

I wonder what will happen when it reaches the coast.

Did Joe Biden step down?

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts. You’re reaching around your ass to scratch your elbow making excuses for our feckless leaders.

China will have all the information they intended to get.

This is an absolutely moronic take. The Ukraine invasion and this balloon both happened on Biden’s watch. Our enemies see a weak America, and this is dangerous for the world.

If this happened under trump, you would've started a screeching thread for every state it passed over. You know it, and so do we

Get shot down and Joe will claim victory. Guess what slo Jo, too late China got what they wanted and they know you are weak and will do it again.

 

[lawgator1]

You forget we know of it and can prevent them from getting anything meaningful.

I'd be far more worried about significant breaches of critical national security information from the 300 plus documents at Mar a Lago haphazardly thrown around like beer coasters.

FACT!!!

False. I happen to think there's more to this than we will ever know.

They were all lined up to restart the Cold War but now insist on a measured response. It’s funny how a change in teams changes the outrage output.

Yeah, Trump didn't have that high security garage storage system that Biden had.

 

[BreatheUT]

Next time when they strap an emp to it and float it over the US we can thank token and our fearless leader for showing such strength when China basically told us “get over it sweetheart”.

A test run and provocation. We have no idea what they have collected and the technology that's on board. Even if it's harmless you take it down before it flys across the continent. This is blatant incompetence and fear.
