The Chinese Spy Balloon

A new “high-altitude airborne object” has been spotted and shot down over Canada’s Yukon territory, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday, as U.S. personnel continued efforts to recover the remnants of two other craft shot down over Alaska and South Carolina within the last week.

Trudeau said in a tweet that Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled to respond in the latest incident, with a “U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.”

That f-22 is quickly becoming a nightmare for those balloons. Got to be something its got going for it when an old wore out f-15 or f-16 could do the job very well

That first balloon would have been downed shortly after hitting Alaskan shore, asap had President Trump been in office. There's an incompetent boob in the Whitehouse and that's putting it politely, and his backup singers are all woke. It's amazing just how far what used to be good men will go to earn a paycheck.

That's just great another 1/2 mil to down a f'n balloon.

Looks like we flushed out another one. You know if trump even had a parking ticket in 1986 they would put it on the news for a week. The tax returns were supposed to be yalls gotcha moment but that came and left out so quick it didnt even get mentioned (spoiler alert- he paid his taxes and wasnt being paid by russia like yall said). If he woulda missed $3 on his tax return it would be wall to wall on your news station, but since it was all square we no longer talk about it. Funny funny stuff.

Some simply won't admit Trump was good for America. But, then again look at the percentages here that can see the truth and acknowledge it. Tells me the loser in chief never got the 80 million votes he and the idiotic dems say he did. We are smarter than that.

Yeah as long as the tax payer is paying the bill they don't think of doing things economically. Save the good stuff for when we're really going to need it, in our lifetime.

People underestimate the necessity of business acumen for POTUS.

He would have worked with either the dems or the repubs to get things done because he wasn't a true politician. They both hamstrung him either directly, indirectly, or by withholding support because he wasn't one of them.

He single-handedly exposed libs for what they really are. All it took was for someone to stand up to them and they lost their minds and were not able to keep from showing how disgusting they are as people in every way.

I still believe both parties will work to keep him out somehow.

I believe that is one of the reasons politicians hate Trump. He never sold out to them and he did stand up for his beliefs which was totally against all they stood for.

Before the 2020 election, I looked up the number of facebook followers for Biden and for Trump. I forget the exact numbers and I concede it's not a scientific approach to predicting election outcomes. But the results seemed insurmountable...something like 5:1 in favor of Trump.

I know there are a lot of members here that aren't on fb...I get that. But 5 to 1 is a very significant difference of a number that does, IMHO, represent a general consensus of the population, weighted toward the younger portion.

Yes, like many, I was pretty shocked at the outcome of the election. Wonder why...I mean...one candidate hides in his basement while the other brings ten of thousands of VOTERS to campaign rallies. Hmmmm.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I'm not blind either.

Think out southern border is unsafe? Take a look north. It is our tax dollars and military that keep that northern border secure. And how do these terrorists enter the US? They did not come through ElPaso.

These are the results that should tell us the truth. Your attention to the numbers are just 1 of many different observations around the country. We all know how loser biden got in office but some will never admit it. They are basement material.

Trump said that he was going to “Drain the Swamp” and that is what he was doing. That’s why both sides are against him, they all were getting exposed as the corrupt bums that they are and that are giving the country away.

Isn't that pretty much exactly why we have the 2nd amendment? We all know what happened...really...don't we? Again, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I just know what I saw and yes, I was awake when the vote count stopped while Trump was ahead. I mean just DAMN! You can't make this stuff up...or at least, I can't. I watched it happen. The turmoil of reconciling votes in the days(months) after was just confirmation of what I watched play out. No matter how many times the media says I'm crazy...I know what I saw. The truth is slowly coming out but it'll never happen in time to fix the "fix".

At this point, we can only try to make sure it doesn't happen again and the dems know it, so, we will soon see congressional re-districting because of all of these new immigrants. The sad part is, if TX turns blue, it's all over. The dems were about three steps ahead of us the whole way and it's all playing out before our eyes. I'm not sure there is a peaceful resolution to this and I'm generally a believer in the whole process fixing itself.

Any clue to how many men it takes to keep 20 fighters (1 squadron) serviceable? And I’m not talking archaic f-15’s & f-16’s.
The maintenance is mind boggling and the effort supreme.
The cost is crazy high along with the weapons but the cost of freedom priceless.

They're still making new F15's. I was just watching a video yesterday in which it was said an even newer F15 variant with upgraded electronics and some other tweaks to enhance stealthiness is being talked about to "augment" the F22's role at about half the cost.

 

[jmm03]

I see that Trudeau filed a complaint in the world court because we shot down his comm balloon. He doesn't like being in the same boat as hunter and not being able to jaw with uncle Xi...

You do not want another nightmare f-14 tomcat in which you continue to pour money in a hopeless effort to turn a truck in to a formula one racer.I am not saying there is no need, just lots of caution as the politicians wind up deciding what gets ‘improved’. F-4’s as Wild Weasels still work fine.
In your statement the key word is ‘augment’. There really is no comparison between the two fighters.

How do they compare to the martians' fighter planes? Just wondering, since apparently, our gov't wants us to believe the latest thing to be shot down..well, we don't know what it was or from where. You betcha! Must be extraterrestrial!
