Spy Balloon

[TroglocratsRdumb]

I have been following this since about 9pm last night.

WHY THE FUCK HAVENT WE SHOT THIS THING DOWN?!

WE HAVE NUKE SILOS IN MONTANA.

No fucking excuse.

Because Joe Biden and the Corrupt Democrat Party are owned by the Communist Chinese.

Would the reaction to this balloon by the us government be the same if it were 'floating' over Washington d.c. or new yawk city?

Its floating above our nuclear missile silos mapping the locations and our Red China infested pentagon says don't shoot it down....

 

[ColonelAngus]

I imagine we can and should shoot it down but that would also give China the right to shoot down our satellites spying on them.

A satellite in orbit versus a balloon that can be reached by airplanes are 2 very different things.

What would China have done to a US balloon?

This is a national disgrace.

 

[ColonelAngus]

The bigger concern is WHY ARE THEY MAPPING OUR NUCLEAR SILOS?

We should be VERY VERY VERY VERY concerned.

100%

What did I say we should do? Spying is spying though. It's quite hypocritical to condemn other countries what we so readily do ourselves.

The Chinese balloon is sighting our missile silos.... and joe is doing nothing about it....

Chinese satellites have already sighted our missile silos. There is nothing a balloon can do that a satellite already does.

We should be VERY VERY VERY VERY concerned.

This is a prelude to ground war here in the US and a potential nuclear strike to take out our assets.

It is psychological warfare.

Several things here...................

First off, the balloon is in unregulated air space, meaning that it could set off an incident if it was shot down.

Second, the F22's service ceiling is 50,000 ft. The balloon is floating at 60,000 ft, meaning it would be very difficult to take it down with an aircraft. The chances of shooting it down are very slim.

And no....................it's not being guided over our most sensitive areas. All a balloon can do is adjust it's altitude to ride whatever winds happen to be at that altitude. It's not "guided" in the traditional sense.

And even if they were floating over our sites, they're not gonna get much information from the photos that they probably don't already have. Most of what you see when you go by them is a fence with a small building, as most of the silo is underground. I know, because I lived in Great Falls MT (where Malmstrom AFB is), and would drive by the silos every now and again while traveling. My cousin is also married to someone in the AF who does work out on them, and when I go home, we talk a bit of shop (I'm retired Navy) and he tells me some of the stuff that he can that isn't classified when we talk.

Now...............if the balloon were equipped with some kind of bomb like the Japanese tried to do in WWII, THEN I'd be a bit concerned, but over a surveillance balloon? Not so much. They won't get much more data than what they can already get with satellites.

Yeah...okay.

The only psychological warfare going on is by the MAGA media on their weak-minded viewing audience.

So does anyone doubt that Biden is being blackmailed by China?....

 

[Billiejeens]

Every night when Barack Hussein was the Resident I went to sleep wondering if he would turn the Nuclear codes over to The Muslim Brotherhood while I slept.
I thought that Biden, while always on the wrong side of things, was not a traitor.
I admit he fooled me.

when didn't they have a right to do that?

Capture it and reversed engineer it to see what if anything they could learn.

Wow...............you get scared easily, don't you? Really? You were scared that Obama was going to turn the nuclear codes over to the Muslim Brotherhood? Even if he did do that, what would they do with them? How would they get close enough to the gear to use them, and how in the hell would they be able to do anything with them before they were changed?

[struth]

The evidence of Xiden being owned by the Chinese continues to pile up....this is open and obvious...but the cultist will still find a way to defend him

Video Appears To Show China Testing Hypersonic Glide Vehicles Via High Altitude Balloon

The payload adapter on the balloon contains shapes that match the hypersonic glide vehicle configurations China has shown off in the past.
