China Spy Balloon

He can't help it. He has to prove how nonpartisan he is by accusing everyone else of being hyper partisan.

I know it’s a politically divided country, but things like this should be a no brainer for all Americans to get behind.

Heck even if you want to take the whole China spy thing out of the equation, you still have a potential POS of unknown origin up there that could fall apart at any moment and land on civilian homes etc.
 
So far I’ve read where Dee is worried about the legalities of it and nighthawk calling us out for being partisan but including OMgTsrummodfff in everyone of his posts. We wonder what the hell happened to this country and we’ve got two shining examples here in this thread

I'm not "worried" about it I'm just citing a fact that there is no international agreement on a country's sovereign airspace, it's a fact that likely played a roll in the Dept of Defense's recommendation that it not be shot down.

I think it's funny how so many fools have spun themselves up into a tizzy over a friggin balloon when China’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance-capable (ISR) satellite fleet has more than 260 assets beaming down on us 24/7/365

No clue where it’s at now but 4 fighters took off from myrtle beach down off the coast of Charleston on the tracker. Two kept circling a spot out at sea and now all 4 returning. One plane named “sniper”the others unnamed.

Could be something. Could be nothing.

I guess you are right, no biggie going on..

The reason China is doing it this way, it’s for the whole world to see, including all Americans, we are now the #1 superpower in the world. If America can’t stop us, who can!,

They was right all along, Trump sold us out to Russia!,,,
 
Who cares? They have real you know actual satellites with optics that can see everything on the ground as is. You that are losing it over a daggone balloon are silly. Talk about wringing your hands over nothing.
 
And FWIW, I wouldn't think it'd be advisable to act like Captain Patriot or one of those cultish cartoon Trump memes where he's built like Arnold and standing on a tank and immediately shoot the sucker down as it's floating above various towns. The balloon was detected and was left to continue floating so we can observe it's communications, frequencies, and possibly reverse engineer it's software to learn more about it since it honestly poses no threat at this time. Some here wanna act like anti-war hippies who wants America to be left on its own but at the same time can't wait for us to flex our military muscle and shoot shit out of the sky, citizens and their property underneath be damned.



Ahhh, there it is. The conservative reaction basically wrote itself, but I was wondering what the far left spin to not shooting it down would be. Not bad, actually was pretty good spin!

They just punking the Libs out, it’s still flying! Knowing we will do nothing about it, because they own them!,

You need a new talking point. You always want me to be angered and frustrated like most everyone else on this site when that’s not my nature. I already said it’s an embarrassing situation, however you tend to jump in the conversation without reading the thread in its entirety. Besides, I’m not going to get uber-upset over this when right wingers are on social media cracking balloon jokes and posting 80s action movie photos of themselves with their “big strong guns” pointed at the sky like nimrods.

If your precious side can’t take it seriously, I won’t either.

Same I said to hmt can be said to you. Get one of your nimrod “far right” social media icons who are posing with their guns pointed at the sky to shoot it down. They’re using the occasion to get clicks and attention while the FPOTUS’s son is posting jokes about the balloon being unvaxxed. Seems to me like neither side is taking things too seriously, but good on you and hmt for always calling out the “far left” on this site because I don’t post tweets from Libs of TikTok and catturd.

Visit the political thread sometime and you’ll realize my takes here aren’t as radicalized as you always assume. But you won’t and we’ll keep doing this same song and dance.

If there’s one thing this thread has taught me it’s the balloon is just the friends we’ve made along the way.

I’m not conservative in the least, I’m completely moderate. Your posts just always crack me up because you pretend to be a moderate for whatever reason but you’re far left. Literally agree with almost all liberal viewpoints, guaranteed. Just own it and stop trying to pretend you’re not Uber political. It’s entertaining to give you shit about it when the opportunity arises however.
 
How is this worse than any spy satellite that flies over us multiple times a day? Or Tik Tok?
Because it’s a violation of pour sovereign air space. That’s why. It’s not about what it’s doing , everyone spies. Hell, even our allies spy and on us as well! It’s about the balls to fly a military aircraft over another country’s airspace, at 50k ft no less.

Yes yes. I know we had the Sr71 that flew over other countries. Again everyone spies. But guess what happened to it? RUSSIA GOT PISSED OFF AND SHOT IT DOWN.

Imagine that, another politics are sadly Mr. like people… 🤦‍♂️ go enjoy some sun and a cheeseburger, there’sa whole works out there that’s enjoying themselves

It's 22 degrees outside, Rogue RN. Too cold for that.

Just to play devil’s advocate for a moment…there are 25,000 US Troops stationed within 200 miles of the Chinese Border in South Korea. Our navies play paddy cake with each other in the South China Sea. The Chinese have an immense espionage network globally dealing in everything from military technology to industrial espionage.

One balloon doesn’t change anything other than shifting the propaganda war on all sides. As this thread has basically shown.

Actually the Dems called all their media brothers and told them this was a massive news story in order to give blinken a reason to not go to china. It seems like the people getting worked up are lefty news orgs. Did they even find out what the explosion was 18 hours ago? This is some sketchy deep state shite. No doubt

Deep State 😂😂😂😂😂

So let me get this straight…China (who has all the ‘libs’ in their pockets) float a spy balloon across America to show how weak the US is and ineffectual under the current political regime (a regime by some of ya’ll’s belief is already owned by China) to somehow sow discontent to lead to the collapse of said political regime and an election of new leaders they do not “own”.
 
This is what I heard. The optimal height to detonate an emp was 95000ft. This balloon was at 80000 to 85000 feet when it was first spotted. It could be a dry run to test an emp attack without setting off our early warning systems.

For some reason I thought it was 65k. Must have read it or remembered it wrong, but it's been a long time since I read anything about how that would work. Thanks for that info.

There are people saying now that this was launched from one of our air force bases out west... Sounds silly, but who the heck knows with this clown show in the WH.
