I don’t usually get into these discussions but that post cracked me up!!!

Not sure why it matters now. I guess Xi gave them the "go-ahead" to shoot it down after they received all the data they needed.

Right, let’s let it pass over most of the continental US, and then shoot it down. Meanwhile the data was likely streaming live to them !

The damn camera “man” at Fox had to be texting while videoing the dang thing. Totally distracted.

I just finished up a long conversation with a family member that is recently retired Air Force and what he was involved in is something he won't even talk about, but I know it was something that had to do with intelligence gathering of some type.

He brought up a great point during our conversation about the decision to shoot it down when and where they did. They ended up shooting it down in an area that has a high military presence along the East coast and in very shallow waters versus where it could have been shot down in very remote and/or mountainous areas or over populated areas during its flight path so he assumes this decision was made many days ago just for the ease of recovering as much as they can in a more accessible area which if you think about it makes a lot of sense.

He thinks we probably knew about it even before it entered over Alaska but due to international laws and the remoteness of the waters in and around Alaska or over Alaska itself would create nightmares on recovery.

He also believes that the communications aspect of that balloon were being jammed or blocked pretty much the whole time. These are just a few thoughts some of you might want to take time to consider.

If it were "jammed" it would NOT have been able to maneuver. The morons let a foreign country invade our air space. PERIOD!

Communist Democrats are going to destroy this country completely! Just as Khrushchev said and his allies the democrats have done.

Maneuvering could have been preprogrammed or GPS.
Did it just follow the jet stream?
Most of our old aircraft can even maneuver without coms using INS.

Did anyone detect Google maps not working?

Should have just radioed it and told it to turn around and leave just like we do with the Russian Bears.
"you have ventured off course, please turn left now"

One thing this thread has done. Flushed out a bunch more communists and their sympathizers.

You need to learn something guys...........Just because someone owns a gun doesn't mean they THINK ANYTHING LIKE YOU!!!!!!

We've got people on this forum that vote and support communism. YES COMMUNISM!!!

DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS! Different name same damn smell!!!

THEY WILL TAKE YOUR GUNS AND ENSLAVE YOU TO THE GOVERNMENT!

 

[jwink]

Surely nobody thought their AR would shoot 12miles

Well I guess that was a waste of my ammo...... lol!

Could not agree more Bro.

Dang Bro, you should have used your big gun for that.

 

[B Nettesheim]

I wonder what was really going on while the attention was on a so called balloon, simple magic trick

 

[Dkk37058]

Brandon and Hunter got more money letting it go across the nation
Got paid by the mile

 

[muleystalker]

Yep should have been done alot sooner no doubt. But, you have to consider our so caller leader in chief is kind of slow at best with his thinking if any at all.

He let them get the intel they wanted before he gave the OK, he didn't want to jeopardize his and his sons income.

Right. Makes sense for sure.

 

[Louisiana Shooter]

This should have been taken down as soon as it crossed Alaskan air space. IMMEDIATELY. If not at the Islands, then once it came over Continental Alaskan air space........almost 1,000 miles of nothing before going into Canadian air space then over Montana air space.

Kill it at the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea..... We have Air Force in the Aleutians that monitor the Soviets and anything from that area. I can assure you they knew it was coming their way LONG before it got there. The military command chain allowed this to happen. Some one is responsible for this.

WHO?
WHY?

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Chinese leader probably contacted Biden and told him that they had all information that they need and it would be ok to shoot it down!!

But of course!

Negotiations of the deal probably on Hunter’s new laptop.

Been flying over us since January 28th folks!

 

[Jayplace]

A bit overkill? A couple holes from a 20 mm cannon should do the job.

I doubt that a 20mm canon can shoot that high or is accurrate enough to hit it.

He was calling on the guard, just like the governors suggested, but it gets a liberal slant even from the liberals on here.

His blog doesn't say anything about the Guard. Jr. said, "We just let the good people of Montana do their thing." The only slant I see is something other than what he said.

 

[Brians356]

Now they'll have to get busy cooking up something else to pull attention away from that laptop.

And "Corn Pop".

He's on video saying "Half of the women in my administration are women" a few days ago. Good to know.

Seriously? The cannon isn't on the ground if that's what you mean.
