Floating a Trial Balloon….Literally

[Ray From Cleveland]

So you’re critical of them for not dropping it sooner while over land but also freely admit that you have no idea what it is.

Brilliant.

If we did drop it over land at least we would be able to investigate what it is. Now it's likely we'll never know, like the Vegas shooter or the Epstein murder.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

We tracked it. Plus the fact that China admitted it was theirs.

And we just made it a huge international embarrassment for China over the last week. Makes them look amateurish.

It’s no doubt already been recovered.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yep. They got their pictures and transmitted back to home. Comrade Biden made sure of that. This balloon could have been brought down in northern Montana. Hardly any people up there. Biden and Harris should resign.

Pictures?
I can get a street view of damned near anywhere on Google earth.

Not as much as they're enjoying your submission.

This explains how balloons are maneuvered and how they aren't.

Doesn't matter what it is, Simp.

It was violating our sovereign airspace.

Cool. Show me the nuclear missile silos in Montana and the Dakotas, Wyoming....

And Biden didn’t shoot down a spy balloon until after it crossed the country and spied on us, that is incompetent. How in the hell did we vote these two clowns into office. The two parties are a joke and we need to look for better choices. We are an embarrassment to the world.

We are an embarrassment to the world.

Indeed.
Well at least to this thread and this board anyway.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Except they were only in our airspace very briefly, not for days on end over our missile silos.

You mean the 150 that have been there for fifty years that everyone knows about?

 

[Redfish]

It’s no doubt already been recovered.

maybe, if so, why is the Biden administration keeping it secret?

 

[toobfreak]

You're a Russian troll.

ODanny, just why did you change your name again to hide yourself as McRib? Was it because McRib Happy Meals are your favorite daily dinner? Or was it because you are in charge of handing out the packets of special Secret Sauce?

And anyone who believes gateway pundit is an assclown.

Pundit is not the question here. There is no hiding the fact that Biden is an inept bungler who now has totally macerated EVERY single use of the military since in office to now permitting China to fly spy balloons over our bases with impunity. Our country is now more weak and vulnerable to attack than it has been in 250 years.

It is an indicator of idiocy, seeing who starts posts with this source. The OP certainly qualifies.

Forget your deflections about Pundit or the OP. Deal with the fact that Biden puts China, Ukraine, Mexico, illegal immigrants, Europe, Iran, most everything ahead of his own country--- maybe you are OK with that but America didn't sign up for what Joe Biden is selling.

China has many satellites, dope. The tech is nothing new or complicated. That’s the point.

 

[Papageorgio]

Indeed.

We keep electing idiots like Trump and Biden we will be. Sad what we elect as leaders.

you cannot see our missile silos or bases on google earth, but now the chinese have clear pictures of all of them thanks to senile Joe.

It shouldn’t be secret? When has the US ever disclosed such information? You aren’t in the need to know circle.

Sigh

46 U.S. Code § 80104 - Salvaging operations by foreign vessels​

(a)Prohibition.—
Except as provided in this section or section 80105 of this title, a foreign vessel may not, under penalty of forfeiture, engage in salvaging operations on the Atlantic or Pacific coast of the United States, in any portion of the Great Lakes or their connecting or tributary waters, including any portion of the Saint Lawrence River through which the international boundary line extends, or in territorial waters of the United States on the Gulf of Mexico.

Where is the Gulf of Mexico in there?

You’re acting like a child.

U.S. President Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping Saturday after the ruling Communist party announced it was eliminating the two-term limit for the presidency, paving the way for Xi to serve indefinitely.

“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump’s remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida.

“And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.


Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump praised Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
He called both leaders "fierce," adding that Xi is "smart" to rule China with an "iron fist."

Yeah, Trump...........the master of sarcasm.

satellites are much higher and don't stay in one position very long. the balloon was lower (60k feet) and moved much slower, so it got much more detailed pictures than any satellite could get.

Uh huh…. Google earth images show nothing in detail.
