Isn’t it somewhere between possible and probable that we obtain more useful information about the Chinese, at very little risk to our own sensitive information, by letting this balloon continue on its course? Like, it’s possible to have reasons to not shoot it down beyond (1) avoiding injury to people or property, or (2) fecklessness.

Yes. Much further on the “probable” side of that spectrum.

I'm surprised anyone is worried about a baloon over rural Missouri. Anyone with TikTok is sending location data, photographs, and more to the chinese government daily. I think that people don't totally understand how much data can be collected and sent by just opening an app even without letting it record.

Right? Kind of reminds me of people posting from their cell phones about not getting vaccinated because the government is putting microchips in people to track them. Oh the irony.

Yes.

Nope. According to Lenny’s and 4ever, unless you shoot it down immediately, you’re weak.

Nah, the kolek up, aka Afghanistan, proved that a couple years sgo, aina?

DONE!!

How wonderful to have a rational, smart adult as president.

You would have added to this thread by refraining to stopping by. Stick to throwing out dental crime jokes. That is your strong suit on scoop.

tower912 · « **Reply #83 on:** February 04, 2023, 02:02:52 PM »

OK, scoop dad. You are 10x worse than the sultan in that way.

Glad he took one of my suggestions rather than the “Let it be, no big deal” approach favored Scoop’s so called intelligentsia.

Glad he waited until it was away from civilians.

unnatural carnal knowledge*ng Biden. Provokes China by publicly destroying a harmless balloon. Risks our entire nation with the threat of war.

Lenny

I hope the Mopes are upset by the waste of money and risking casualties by shooting down the weather balloon.

It really is surprising that the media is covering such a non event.

Lenny’s can sleep at night. His president has balls and the scary Chinese balloon is gone.

Things that might be in the balloon:

Illegals
Terrorists
Covid
Free iPhones

tower912 · « **Reply #90 on:** February 04, 2023, 02:11:59 PM »

It clearly wasn't enough of a threat that it couldn't wait until it was offshore to take it down. I doubt we will ever be told exactly what was on it.

If it did not need to be shot down, why did they shoot it down?

Who said it didn’t need to be shot down? I trust the powers that be to make the correct decision.

Goose is bending reality to defend his boy Lenny today. Pretty sad.

Why are you happy about escalating tensions with the Chinese? Is war with them something you want?

wadesworld · « **Reply #97 on:** February 04, 2023, 02:20:15 PM »

I already feel safer.

Not safe enough to go anywhere close to downtown Milwaukee, though.

Goose · « **Reply #98 on:** February 04, 2023, 02:21:36 PM »

Fluff

How am I bending reality? I happen to believe that China is our greatest threat as country and think this was a big deal. As I mentioned, CNN has spent a lot of time on the balloon and possibly it is a bigger deal than some on here believe.

Because it is. I 100 know you're smarter than this.
