    and another spy balloon from China not over our country but they are definitely interested in our continent. I would argue that if we don’t shoot down the one we have complete legal right to do, we are embarrassing ourselves. Are we going to openly allow any spy plane if there is a risk involved? May as well send an open invite for any country to do so.

    The US's approach to this is way to soft and the world is watching. $850B in defense spending and for what? If this was a Russia spy balloon it would not have made it past the first US Aleutian Island before being shot down and then Biden would have ordered a full scale nuclear attack on Russia. Is it because China holds $1.2T of our debt?

    Certainly not because we are softer on Russia than we are on China?

    I don't see how the new media can ignore this considering how this balloon is heading towards a very populated east coast. Americans have every right to know what is going on.

    The balloon was finally shot down. A little late though. So when will the nuke war start?

    Knee-jerk politics has always been a staple of American political “thought” sometimes it’s just kneeier and jerkier.
    This is pretty spastic though.

    If they have a sophisticated spy satellite, why do they need a balloon? :roll:

    No, just shoot down the balloon. No nukes required.

    No reason to be obsessed with a balloon flying over Americans the government admits is a Chinese spy craft.

    When will the masses understand they've been tricked? For some, probably never. There are still a few people left who actually think the shots have saved them from a virus with a 99% survival rate.

    People are funny. It's easier to fool a man than it is to explain to him how he has been fooled.
