It’s for them to see if we are still fools so they celebrate knowing how ignorant and dumb we are
Has no one ever heard of weather balloon before? Come on, if china wanted to spy, they wouldn’t be using balloons haha
Right? And china being among the richest GDP in the world and we really think theyd use a balloon?
Theyre probably laughing at the thought we would spend hundreds of thousands to shoot it down.
... and that's probably what they were counting on the USA and Canada to think, which makes it a perfect way to spy. That said, their satellites can get much better pictures, so why do both?
@loveslongnails and what exactly could a balloon do that a satellite, drone or spy couldn't. That looks exactly like a weather balloon. That logic only makes sense to conspiracy theorist, next you'll start hearing people claim they were using it for some kind of mind control lol
Which people will be claiming that... the small minorities of wackos who think there are nanites in the vaccine? Nobody listens to those folks anyway.
I'm not well versed on the subject to answer " what EXACTLY could a balloon do... etc." I don't think you are either, but for one thing, it's a lot closer to the planet's surface than a satellite. The wreckage is being examined as we speak. I doubt the public will ever know what was really on it.
@loveslongnails I can speak for balloons and aircraft, as aeronautics is my area of knowledge and experience. Weather balloons can fly quite high, not past the karman line, but at least 100,000 feet. So this being a weather balloon is indeed possible and likely. The chinese have satellites like many other developed countries so begs the question why waste the time on something so obvious and stupid.
If anything, this was a joke to prove our capabilities. And we showed them, at our expense.
@mobiusforniner It also begs the question, why do it for a joke? Why put any equipment on it at all if it was "a joke"?
It was meant to distract you from what was really happening...
Yes I sure do, because they purposely went of their way to direct it over 5 USAF bases. If Biden had any balls, he would have had it shot down over Alaska.
They sent it to humiliate us. They know Biden is a sheep.
A news report just said that there are more than one of these out of control balloons currently in the air over other countries.
And NO! It wasn’t Fox News. So it has to be true!
I think it's a clever way for the Chinese government to announce that they are spying on us, that they don't like us, and that we are a target for a future war.
It was a spy balloon
It's a spy balloon. But even more than that, it's an attempt at bullying.
Underreaction. In US Airspace over ICBM sites. Should have been either retrieved or destroyed.
If it wasn’t sent by China, they seem to be very upset over a balloon that was shot down that wasn’t even theirs.
They said it was a weather balloon. Why would they lie.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they were spying. Their government isn't exactly ethnically driven.
i doubt most people have the IQ to balance their checkbook let alone what to do in a situation like this.
An overreaction from the PUBLIC, especially on social media.
Every country is spying on another whether we want to acknowledge it or not.
It doesn’t matter why. The fact is it was a violation of our airspace and Biden allowed it
If it’s indeed from China, it’s from spying. But I’m not in the situation room.
Defender of China again, eh?
It might have been an overreaction, because if they want to spy, on us they are already doing that with satellites
A silly over-reaction. Obviously.
