The US military shot down an orbiting satellite in 2008, yet this was too daunting of a task.


Well there have been many positions filled by Liberals since then, so ya, we could quite possibly not have the ability 15 years later.

Shoot it down in the ocean, and it goes out to sea... Proves my point further.

We've "shot" down things that were at a greater altitude. And how did we eventually shoot it down after it got all the info it needed... did it descend? Serious question... really don't know.

If you think that is balloon debris, idk what to tell you... The debris only had about a 7 mile spread, not hundreds of miles.

If Trumps face was on the balloon, it would’ve been shot down the second it got in US airspace.

Shooting it down after it’s out of the country makes no sense.

sure it does baw, we can use the old Cold War tactic(Glomar Explorer/Challenger) tactic, "we tried to help you find your lost balloon and its contents but there was nothing there"


ETA: now we get to legitimately try out some of our new shite and see if they'll expose some of their new shite

Biden was bought by China, Trump was bought by Russia.

Both sides are despicable.

Everything the republicans do is correct, everything the democrats do is bad.
