This administration used a $400,000. missile to pop a $12. kid’s balloon. Who exactly made this brilliant decision?


Hmmmmm. How does this mesh with the general specifically not calling the objects balloons.... how does this mesh with the reports pilots have made about the unusual flight patterns?

LBH, you wouldn't be happy whatever he did. Don't shoot stuff down? He'd be weak.
Shoot it down, he's over-reacting.


This has nothing to do with the objects being shot down or not. I’d like to know what they are and from where. The answers were unsatisfying

Certainly faster than Trump, who let multiple prior Chinese spy balloons surveil the US completely unscathed.


It’s gotta be exhausting to be around someone that does nothing except "but Trump!". Is it hard for you to stay on topic? Wonder why your friends don’t come around as much? This is why.

Except for the THREE his administration didn't even know about. Yeah, they were on it, alright.


It's hard to know about anything if NORAD fails to inform the commander-in-chief.
Biden was informed. And, still let the balloon traverse the entire country before having it shot down.


Did the military advise him to give go ahead to shoot down and he said “no let’s watch it float”? Or did they advise him to let it be?


The military advised him, reportedly, not to shoot it down over Alaska. Or, shall I say - his military advisors.
The same advisors who oversaw the droning of innocents in Afghanistan.
Interesting that these advisors also advised Biden to keep troops in Afghanistan, but Biden didn't listen to them then.
Biden is the commander-in-chief and calls the shots. Pun intended.

Trudeau was saving face. Public outraged that the U.S. shot it he ballon down and not Canadians.
Though, Canadian pilots were probably all passive aggressive sine main narc pilot wanted the credit and was more interested in preventing other Canadian pilots from taking a shot so he can get all the glory. In the meantime, action and not passive aggressive bs was executed by American pilot.


I don't think Canadian planes have guns. They also run on maple syrup and poutine. And what the hell are you smoking? You need to cut back a bit so your sentences become parseable.
