Pentagon reveals details on how Chinese spy balloon was taken down with single shot


Says Biden gave permission to shoot it down on Wednesday.

They should've figured out how to bring it down slower instead of it dropping from the sky. Perhaps there was no other way.

Seriously what information do you believe they gathered that they didn't already have?

Most important bit of information was what they suspected but needed proof of; that Biden is an indecisive, irresolute, cowardly dodo . They now have confirmation. It will be used to weigh the risk of military action against Taiwan. Biden was given a highly visible test before the eyes of the world and he laid a big fat egg.

The Navy is ****ed up as a football bat.

Well, like all the branches right now, their top brass certainly is. Gotta get those pronouns right if we are ever going to confront China

Single shot . Like puncturing and bringing down a giant slow moving bag of gas was a work of incredible marksmanship. Fliers were doing this to German Zeppelins in fabric biplanes in 1916

Washington Post
Pravda on the Potomac.
China uses the slowest and most obvious platform available, clearly visible to the naked eye on the ground to „covertly“ spy on the US and the Washington Post expects us to believe that the Chinese expected to keep this a secret???? Sure…….

Seriously what information do you believe they gathered that they didn't already have?

That they can casually float across the US and we won’t do anything. New information as it was played out on TV as a reminder of what weakness looks like.

They knew about it last Friday or Saturday. And he’s FOS.

Like it didn't do what they intended by now anyway. They wait until it's gathered info, then shot it down

"Over the past several years, Chinese balloons have previously been spotted over countries across five continents, including in East Asia, South Asia and Europe," the senior defense official said."

U.S. shoots down suspected Chinese spy balloon with a single missile

A missile seems a bit overkill.

 

[OrangeTsar]

They'll recover the hardware and find out that it has a Chinese made Windows 11 computer by Dell on it. Communications gear branded by Motorola made in India and a rubber bladder made by Good Year in Singapore.

Even the Chinese are smart enough to not rely on Microsoft Windows

The fact that you think you know what's going on and are in charge speaks volumes.

HINT Frumpers: The President is not a king. The President is not a dictator. The president is the least powerful member of our three branches of Government.

Say it with me slowly so you understand it.

We just surrounded china, and then scared the crap out of them when they got caught because they THOUGHT they were being smart.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

China is pretty reckless and and bad at decisions. They are just cheap enough for apple to build their phones there.

 

[volfanhill]

Seriously what information do you believe they gathered that they didn't already have?

So your stance is that the Chinese went to the trouble of doing all this for no gain? That would be a strange thing.

Once our DOJ gets involved there will be a wealth of stolen US surveillance equipment recovered from the ocean floor, if not, it'll be a deputy from a backwater SC town that discovers a Chinese made camera with pictures of "undisclosed" vital assets.

The way you guys are trying to defend this is hilarious, and biden . You all spent 4 years crying about Russia knowing too much, but this ain't no big deal? You guts were crying treason when trump had classified documents, but it's no big deal for biden? I'm not even trying to defend trump, he's a goob, but the hypocrisy on the majority if the left is hilariously sad. You know good and well you'd be crying impeachment if this happened under trump, and he waited until the balloon completed it's joyride across the USA, then shot it down. I'd respect Democrats more if you guys would just say what your posts do, you don't care as long as it's a Democrat.

Exactly. “Wreckage was unrecoverable”.

Let's see.... the president appoints federal judges. You're right, that's a weakness. The president can veto any bill put forth by congress. Right again. weaker.

Your TDS is showing again.

You recognize this was a military situation and the president is the Commander in Chief, right? In this case, he is the most powerful member of the three branches. He’s the one who says take it down or let it float.

we don't know everything (nor should we), but we know SOME things right? Lets use our monkey brains here. Just as a thought exercise.

I don’t think he recognizes or understands much.
