Marco Rubio: they could have shot the balloon BEFORE it entered US airspace/ Kudlow: Biden should give speech to the nation clarifying everything

this is the 1st time in 65 years of NORAD's history they've shot down something over US airspace, you'd think they owe us an explanation

Flying saucer? Are you flippin kidding me. Rubio is a dick. Here is the deal, in any previous administration no one would have known shit about this. And five hundred cases in the past, FIVE FUCKING HUNDRED, and now we shoot them down.

As if a Biden speech ever clarified anything.

First, Biden lets a communist spy balloon float across our whole country, gathering intelligence. Now he has a hair trigger, shooting at everything. Hell, some parents are probably even warning their kids against flying their kites. Instability and disability make Biden act like this.

Since we are not a war with China, shooting it done could only be done when it violates American airspace. Still what can a air balloon discover that cannot be seen from space. International airspace is the same as high seas. As long as the stay there then they are not breaking any laws or international agreements.

So Rubio can't shoot it down which would make the Americans the bad guys. It will be tough explaining how a balloon is a threat when you have spy satellites in space.

Beside China behind the US and Russia has quite a few of them floating around. So the Balloon is almost comical. Its like they are just probing to see the response.
