We're preparing for war with China and the balloon presents the State Dept with an opportunity.

That question is why the WH via MSM trialed the drivel about it not being able to be shot down.

It was first noticed over the Aleutians and tracked from there...not considered a threat...

Nah. The Chinese aren't sending advanced tech over in a balloon.

Looks like my assessment was spot on....

No. That's unlikely.

He should since he just accomplished the "I never said impossible".

Perhaps a Chinese Lantern would be more appropriate in this case.

Heh. Also,love the excuse about how debris over Glacier Nat Park in winter is too risky to burst it.

Those glaciers are under enough stress from climate change.

There's a chance it may have hit Bigfoot.. PETA would have gone stone cold crazy.

Was it supposed to be impossible to do so?

Democrats were openly debating whether it was possible.

No jim,it was never impossible.It was a viable option from the start not chosen to prevent a flyover

Then it’s odd 94 isn’t mentioned but you have no problem

iarishcheeks was absolutely referring to 94,& I have no problem mentioning his board handle.

Knock it off , Baron...the balloon was reported to be at 60K ft...F-15 max ceiling is 63K ft...NP...

They send up satellites almost everyday that rain back down debris larger and more dangerous.

There appeared to be a good amount of white powder in the air once it popped.

I'm amazed Brandon risked shooting it down over the ocean-debris could have hit a fishing vessel.

Also, he didn't want to hit the wind turbines and the whales.
