What if it had anthrax or radiation inside to like create fallout over the area

Reportedly 🤣

Never before has a aircraft of a foreign government flown over the United States, threatening the lives and property of the people, especially the entire hostile country!

JeffGSpursZone Everyone asking why not shoot it down it’s the size of 3 buses you don’t care who below it and dies 😒

🤜🏻🤜🏻🤜🏻🚫❌🇨🇳👿🐍☠️🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻Too late….

Finally-those-dummies-in-the-Biden-Admin-did-something-right...

How much will the US taxpayers have to reimburse the Chinese for destroying their property?

Way to late

TRUMP WOULD HAVE SHOT IT DOWN..ON DAY ONE & CHINA KNEW THAT... ❤🇱🇷

Recuperated or lost?

After China got all the data it could since it was going out to sea

If you knock DeSantis-you are doing what Trump wants you to do.

Must have been a hazard to navigation

I saw another Chinese spy satellite

Wayyy too late !

They shot it down after the mission was complete. 😂

Look closely, looks like the hit was targeted low on the ballon. Why? It’s what likely caused the payload separation. Why not hit high to deplete the air and keep balloon dragging payload to earth?

After it floated over the entire country.

Good!

The CCP's check to the Bidens must have cleared . . .

i don't know why it wasn't shot down at first sight

Here we go folks. 99redballoons ChineseSpyBalloon WW3 Defcon1

That must have been fun for the pilot

Waiting for a tiny percentage of individuals to claim, this is racism

The damage has been done.

After all the info has been absorbed and sent back to China! 🙄

Don’t be FakeNews. We don’t know if it’s a spy balloon when the Chinese already have satellites, stealth drones & TikTok to gather as much intel as needed. WaPo asked some experts:

The administration allows China to take all the over-land pictures it needs and THEN it shoots it down. Oh well. Let's do lunch. 🙄

US weighing decision to shoot down Chinese spy balloon over Atlantic Ocean, official tells Fox NewsPresident Biden is considering a plan to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon that traveled across the United States this week once it crosses over the Atlantic Ocean. Cool, we let them collect all the data they needed which was probably being sent real-time and we shoot down AFTER they get all the info. Congrats on adding yet another stain to this countries disastrous last 3 year POTUS. We are a joke Be to late. China already stole the data and PCs they needed Or just distracting from fraudci pelosi, Hussain, Joe's cooking up more disease plannedemic to blame China Quite the plan. Wait until the balloon has obtained all the information that China wanted, and then shoot it down when China no longer cares. What a great president we've been blessed with!

U.S. considers shooting down Chinese balloon as it nears Atlantic OceanAs the balloon approached the Atlantic Ocean, the FAA, announced ground stops for all commercial flights in and out of Wilmington, N.C., Myrtle Beach, S.C. The United States is drawing up options for the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been floating over the United States, officials said Saturday. I like the idea to do the shooting over the ocean. It would be so easy to miss at 100 thousand feet and being only two busses wide. The missles would sink in the ocean. Well if they were mapping the US to prepare an invasion, it wont matter anyway. Soon you will all be toast.

Chinese balloon live updates: US could try shootdown over Atlantic, official saysBREAKING: A second Chinese surveillance balloon is flying over South America, the Pentagon confirms. Pop the balloons if it's in illegal air space. It's Chinese spying ingenuity at large. Costa Rica to be exact . That makes it highly unlikely to be an accidental straying off course like they claimed the first one was.

US considering plan to down Chinese balloon over AtlanticWASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is considering a plan to shoot down a large Chinese balloon suspected of conducting surveillance on U.S. military, by bringing it down once it is above the Atlantic Ocean where the remnants could potentially be recovered, according to four U.S. Yeah, let’s be damn sure it collects all the data it can first. Brilliant Can someone tell me of this is the same thing? I get it- a Chinese balloon in US airspace, certainly monitor it (since before the Aleutians), study it (all along), decide if a threat but this situation's emblematic of how something is intentionally blown all out of proportion for want of 24/7 news, distracts from real issues
