Chinese balloon has been shocked off the coast of Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The FAA has grounded all flights in the Carolinas till about 5 pm

The Russians, Chinese and the USA have very effective satellites that gain intelligence. This was thumbing Biden's nose since it crossed the Aleutians. To see how and when we would react. They won the game. After all, they play chess and we play checkers.

I'm totally surprised that it wasn't shut down when it was first noticed entering the United States from the West Coast. I know our delicate government doesn't want to hurt anybody but they can haven't brought down in an unpopulated area. I also noticed that it's sophisticated is China is they still use antiquated spy gathering information with a balloon. Meaning as far as I can remember for my studies the civil war. Then in world war I. And finally at times during world war II.

Oh yes I forgot what matter of intelligence did the Chinese gather in their slow moving balloon across the United States. I'm sure they gathered information pertaining to where our military units, air bases and naval bases. What would have happened if Trump had stated what President Biden has stated pertaining to the Chinese. Would former president Trump would he have shot it down before it entered the United States? Oh yes there's one going over Latin America. What are they gathering there?

[Surely]

Since Trump caught flack for calling Covid “The China Virus!” Why didn’t Biden get called out on calling it a “Chinese Balloon?”
When China first denied that it was theirs. That is when it should have been dropped. Imagine if it was “seeding “ the US with some dangerous biological agents!

Should have shot it down over Montana. Who's going to get hit by it? One of what, 30 people in the state lol but seriously. Montana is so sparsely populated, you could blow up a whole ass plane and debris wouldn't reach a town

[abc3643]

Much ado about nothing.

This is what happened in GOP-World:

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

President Biden made the right move that China Balloon was going to spy on the USA

[CaptainSmartass]

I'm just waiting for another 98.

But yeah, in all seriousness, it does sound really dodgy. Hopefully we're not heading in to another war.

Simples...

[Mac-One]

Should have been shot down when it first entered our air space off the coast of Alaska.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Fucking FAA. I'd hate to be a passenger waiting for a plane.

[Femalefashionadmirer]

Too little intervention too late for possible damages China snatched

how are the fish doing now?

[NewsReader]

Maybe the balloon contained Covid-23 and now all the fish in the Atlantic Ocean will get infected. I'm not eating fish this year.
