Chinese balloon soars across US; Blinken scraps Beijing trip
A huge, high-altitude Chinese balloon is sailing across the U.S. The spectacle drew severe Pentagon accusations of spying on Friday, while sending some excited or alarmed Americans outside with binoculars.

Then I guess we need to capture it and verify/reverse engineer it to confirm things. If they're truthful, we give it back.
We inspect things as they come through ports of entry ... I'm suggesting we do the same here.

Why do we believe anything any of these clowns tell us.
The Pentagon already recommended that it be shot down. Biden got confused, he shot down their suggestion instead.
ETA: I can't find that news article, so I'm likely mistaken here.

All the news I've seen said Pentagon recommended not to, no threat. But I'm sure you're correct about jo's position.

So this makes it midway through the US.
It hasn’t been checked out to see what if anything it has in it.
I’m not a conspiracy theory wack job but what if this thing was carrying a dirty bomb or some other crap? We just let it ride because we don’t want to upset anyone?

I tried to go back and find the article, I can't. Maybe I misread it.
I think it's at the destination, a bunch of our nuclear missiles.
Timing is good though:
Remember, it more than likely came over Canada also and into the USA. Everyone knows the PM in canada also favors communisim as does Joe and Pamala and the Democrats, so none of them will do anything to harm this balloon from China. It is safe and sound from any harm, with these people in power in the USA and Canada.
Showing my age, and it was also war time. But how many remember the Jap balloons that came over the US, during WWII ? , Our government, then, shot them down, when they were in areas safe to do so.
Most of those were of the type that started fires where they came down, on their own.
This balloon, from China, is doing nothing but spying and gaining information that they intend to use further, when they are ready to attack or harm the USA.

Im sure you're correct, and it's an interesting dilema. I don't know the technicalities of the agreements but at some point a line must be drawn, as eventually someone could hover nukes wherever they wanted.
A Chinese "whether" balloon. They are deciding 'whether' now is a good time, or not.
Well Jt. Chief of Staff general Milley (code name Mi Li) is a co-conspirator in Woke-ifying the military.
