International Chinese Spy Balloon spotted flying over the Billings, Montana

I really want to know thoughts and citations on if many balloons like this happened under trump and what the response was.

I hope the non partisan SOF clearly outlined this in an official report

From her twitter today

"Literally every regular person I know is talking about how to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon. It would be great if an average Joe shot it down because China Joe won’t. Regular Americans can do everything better than the government and actually care about our country."
 
Can anyone cite a headline from the last 6 years, outside of this, or a special spy balloon weather project that happened to be readily traveling tthough out the country for everyone to be seen, including both private and commercial planes?

Uh yea, me neither, anyone who voted for Biden is a clear idiot at this point

Even moderates who are like “eh, but trump”, this is all on you. Please just shut the duck up going forward

where over the last 2 years would trump have been fundamentally worse than Biden?

it raises a question as to whether an advanced military drone could intercept and guide it down to capture it intact. feels like a false dilemma between blow it up or leave it alone. it's a balloon, its not going to go supersonic and get away.

No, it was at twice the military drone ceiling...well, unless they have top secret drones.... Jesus Christ, that's what this was, and attempt by China to get the US to reveal it's top secret high altitude drone program!!!!

@Lowmanproblems just curious if you denounce this at all and/or what you think should be done about this? Seems several outlets are saying this is pretty unprecedented, but at the same time trump had many balloon, which are now confirmed from previously TPS Classifier material?

Thiught and analysis?

Obviously i dont know exactly what it was, but think that the US has been able to track this thing long before it reach our air space. To me it most likely appears to be a device for testing stuff in the atmosphere. The US had probably been in contact with China about the device long before it crossed over the US. If it hadnt made the news i doubt it would have been shot down. I believe public outrage over the device influenced the administration to shoot it down. I dont think this as big a story as it was made out to be, but im open to further information on it. Im aware that my opinion on it up to this point arent facts. I doubt we hear much about it any more tbh and the story will die off without further information.
 
Americans are hilarious, fretting about spy balloons.

Have you not looked at Google maps satellite view?

@cottagecheesefan its a nothing story, you should save your “this administration is a disgrace” lines for a different headline. Maybe you’ll get lucky next week.

Stay vigilant, great truth seeker

It was at 60,000 feet right? The Concorde jets flew at that height over 50 years ago. It was weird seeing people say we couldnt shoot it down.

i havent been following much of the story about a balloon that conservatives are outraged about, but didnt this thing supposedly fly in from canada? curious to know where this thing originated, if it flew over from china into canada over the pacific ocean and then went into the US, or if one of trudeau's communist pals set it up somewhere in canada and then flew it into the US?

thats all im genuinely curious about. i dont give much else of a care about a balloon. theres foreign spies already in north america, and china already has satellites that can see whatever that balloon can. i'm not sure what extra purpose that balloon thing would ultimately serve, but maybe they can figure that out from all the debris they recovered.

but what did trump do that was such an absolute fuck up of letting a Chinese spy balloon slowly survey our entire country, and trumps base cheered it?

mid anything a direct comparison that shows the opposite of similar partisanship is the vaccine that Trump keeps wanting to take a win for. However, his base clearly rejects this and keeps trying to get him to stop supporting the vax.

if anything, that alone dispels the blind partisanship you speak of…. Unless you can provide a better example than the constant celebrating the left does of Biden including this AND the afghan withdrawal, which are both complete military embarrassments

If you don't think there is blind partisanship in politics these days.....
And I voted for Trump twice. I'm not trying to compare presidencies.

That's not a world I know so I can't comment. Again... it could have dangerous things to the public on it which is why most countries don't allow these types of things.

i do agree, but the other side of the coin is that they are getting more info about the public from tic tok.
This was getting more info about the weather/atmosphere which can give further info for an attack

but it could also give up info on how you detect it, shoot it down etc...so may as well try and get the info its transmitting to a source and hack the source too
 
How are they supposed to understand what’s in the balloon and its debris?

I am sure the Chinese weren’t stupid and wrote it in Chinese instead of English so their secret stays a secret

Why didn’t China Trump shoot them down?
Why are we now finding out about Trump letting 3 Chinese balloons fly freely over the USA.
All those Chinese running around Mar a Lago now makes sense.
We need to make it policy to shoot them down immediately. The Chinese got emboldened with Trump’s media black out of the 3 prior balloons.
