I thought if something like this happened. That there was no debate as to it being shot down.

didn’t use to be….we are weak militarily now because we have to abide by civilian authoritywho most have no fucking idea what they’re talking about.

I hate to admit the GOP got that part right.
 
What I am worried about with China and India is the over population which will manifest itself as low BMI due to socialism versus other countries which will be a famine. Tie that with an advance military/intelligence services and it could lead to many problems. When we see a country going through a famine such as countries in Africa they are not militarily able to cause problems due to their lack of food production.

"When I first saw it, I thought it was a full moon in the daytime, I started feeling hairs growing in my neck, like I was turning into a werewolf..... but then China said it was a weather balloon..... and I said, DAMMIT..... ya'll laughed at me.....it's China, here to see how much good air we got to take and how much of their bad air they can send!!!"

I can understand not wanting to shoot it down, but we should be able to intercept and capture it.

I was thinking the same thing..... no aircraft would be able to just grab it out of the sky..... and they just can't shoot it for fear of the gas in it exploding or just igniting... :dunno:

If the US can invade the Chinese airspace with satellites beaming signals that bypass their Great Firewall then they have as much right to float balloons up. Shooting this down could have grave consequences for the garbage internet access that the United States is putting over China.

The Pentagon said Friday it knows it is a Chinese "surveillance" balloon that "violated US air space and international law," rejecting China's earlier claim that the balloon is a "civilian airship" for research that deviated from course.
 
The Pentagon says the balloon does not have greater spying capability than surveillance satellites in low Earth orbit, which China already uses.

During a news conference on Friday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he was postponing his trip to Beijing because of the balloon, noting that any country would respond similarly.

He added: "And I can imagine what the reaction would be in China if they were on the other end.”
 
My guess is that they want to wait and see where it goes first to see what the Chinese are interested in. They can then capture it and see how detailed the footage is.
 
Prominent Republican leaders, including former President Donald Trump, are criticizing President Joe Biden's administration for not knocking the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon out of the sky.

As of Friday afternoon, a Pentagon spokesperson said downing the balloon would create a "significant" debris field and potentially hurt or kill people on the ground.

The Pentagon has repeatedly declined to say whether the US is considering shooting the balloon down if it is over a body of water and won't pose a risk to people on the ground.

Remember: US officials have said the balloon does not have the ability to bring in more intelligence than spy satellites in low Earth orbit, which China already uses.

Here is what some of the administration's critics said Friday:

Former President Trump: “SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON!” the former president wrote on his Truth Social platform. Trump, who has announced a bid for the 2024 presidency, tied his criticism to a wider vow to curtail Chinese espionage if elected.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley: Haley, who is expected to launch her own presidential bid later this month, also called for the US to shoot down the balloon in a Twitter post. The former governor said "Biden is letting China walk all over us."

Sen. Marco Rubio: Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees, said the administration should have ordered the balloon shot down "over a sparsely populated area." He continued: "This is not some hot air balloon, it has a large payload of sensors roughly the size of two city buses & the ability to maneuver independently."

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: Pompeo called in a tweet for the US to "shoot down the (Chinese Communist Party)'s balloon safely, and demand answers" from Chinese President Xi Jinping. He said the administration was displaying "weakness" on China.


Bunch of dumbasses that will get us all fucked up.
