    What if it contained a biological/chemical weapon? Popping that over our population would be pretty darn dumb. We probably would have a couple years ago. :picard:

    That's one reason why it shouldn't have made it over our population in the first place. Buncha door mats.

    My immediate wonder was "why don't the get some practice and shoot it down?", then couldn't understand why they wouldnt capture it.

    There was also the previous balloon flyovers during the prior administration that didn’t make it to the public domain and didn’t get blasted by an F-22.

    Yep. Plus 25 yrs ago one went across Canada and the Canadians attempted to shoot it down with over 10,0000 rds from guns on 2 Canadian F/A-18's. It eventually came down.

    None during the last US administration but the fake news would lead you to believe otherwise to prop up you know who. I'm sure this might be tettering on too much politics so will say no more, sorry.

    Probably why "they" waited until it was off coast. Foe as long as "they" knew about it, it is a shameful response time. Pathetic example of a world leader.

    We should be focused on the real story they are trying to distract us from.

    I figured the Chinese were returning classified documents to Joe's boy. You know, they found them under the chair when Joe left.
