Doesn't this reek of weakness?

Supposedly due to the fear of falling debris on people or structures. I call BS on that. Shoot it down. If we did that on Russia or China, it would last one minute in the air. 

Reminds me about the "UFO's" that buzz around our warships and bases. Why are we not attempting to shoot them down? While I suppose they are a one in a million chance of being aliens, I think they are most likely near-peer drones.

It's BS. Then shoot it down when it's traveling over a rural area with nobody around... which it has been. What a lame ass response.

Yea-this is f-ing nuts. And the fact that it is hovering over Montana? Montana/North Dakota are homes for ballistic missile sites. Shoot down the balloon.

What is the benefit of a balloon versus a satellite?

Is this actually more about testing the Biden Regime?  Will General Milley call his Chinese counterpart to warn him if the decision is made to shoot it down?

Read this elsewhere

Those who are saying its the same as a satellite well not really. Sats can only take pics when the Sat is making its orbit which is not at same position each time around earth. A balloon can loiter and being closer can take more and clearer pics. Can see more activity over time than a Sat.

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, sparks in the software
Flash the message "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

Right now a massive explosion over Montana just happened. A second balloon was reported in Canada earlier today. Now another Chinese balloon has been detected over South America.

I know I may be giving this adm way too much credit but do yo think it is possible that we are allowing them to see false information on the ground????  Maybe I should just stick with the Harbaugh theory.
