Yeah, but it's just a sham to make the Biden administration look good to the left wing fools.
Whatever data the balloon was collecting had already been collected so shooting it down after that happened doesn't accomplish anything unless for some reason we were worried that Chinese were going to collect data about the Atlantic ocean.
If the Bidens weren't already beholden to the Chinese, they would have neutralized the thing the minute it approached U.S. airspace by eiher shooting it down when it was still over the Pacific, or neutralizing it by bombarding it with a bunch of microwaves or lasers.

Heck! They don't need to send a "spy" Ballon anyway. If there is something the Chinese want to know, they can just call the WH.
And chances are, they don't even have to call. The WH will call THEM and let em know if there's anything new.

Re: Balloon Down 👍
The agreement with the Chinese was don't shoot down our balloon until it's done getting info from all across the US. So barely over the Atlantic kept the agreement.

The latest: Six miles off shore, in 47 feet of water. A proper salvage ship won't reach it for days. The Chinese may reach it first. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/0 ... wont-days/

Re: Balloon Down 👍
47 ft. deep doesn't even require any specialty dive equipment. How many good divers could go out and retrieve it before somebody from the government actually gets off their lazy rear and tries?

Re: Balloon Down 👍
Due to the recent events involving the Chinese balloon, a bipartisan bill has been introduced banning all balloons in the form of cartoon characters, hearts animals, geometric shapes, etc. Regardless of shape, size, theme, or circumstance of use (ie: birthdays, weddings, graduations, parades, or celebrations of any type). Usage of these objects "sends the wrong message", and could potentially impair the mission of the Chinese balloons as they make their way over the US. These instruments are for foreign official use only, and private citizens have no need of such equipment.
P.S.
Of course all US citizens are encouraged to continue BUYING balloons, as they are made in China, and they should continue to get that revenue.
Inflating them, however, will carry a penalty of a 250k dollar fine and 25 years in prison.

And a couple hundred thousand in a missle... Could have done the same thing with a burst of 20mm and saved us taxpayers a few bucks.

Re: Balloon Down 👍
Chinese landfills are full now, so what's really happening is they're sending all their trash up and hoping someone shoots it down before it gets back to them!
