  1. I now the Chinese always under cut how much does NASA now musk spend on going to space they have balloons that can lift 2 and half tonne how much rocket full and dangers to the pilots to lift the same how many trips,time,money just an idea/theory

  2. Looks like a prefab space station section going back 5-10years ago build insections float it up stage it for assembly, the unit to Ballon size looks like the module could float but the Ballon was to assist like lift motor assistance Ballon that will put it in the Goldy locks zone l guess if it was a spy Ballon well we never now either way hay…
    Hope it wasn't there module for the new international station.

  3. What was US pentagon doing till they found this toy hanging in the air?

  4. Did Biden think this was an ice cream cone headed to Washington?

  5. I bet china loves the fact that we're so ignorant

  6. America is done at this point folks.

  7. Shoot it down ask questions later.

  8. ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M PISSED, DEAL WITH IT PEEPS. YOUR SENILE, CORRUPT, COMPROMISED PRESIDENT ALLOWED IT TO FLY OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FROM WEST TO EAST, GETTING DATA BACK TO CHINA THE ENTIRE TIME, UNTIL THEY FINALLY SHOT IT DOWN OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AFTER IT HAD SERVED ITS ENTIRE PURPOSE. IT WASN'T GOING TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS AND SUDDENLY FLY BACK OVER, NOPE, THEY WAITED UNTIL IT WAS LITERALLY FINISHED WITH ITS FLIGHT OVER THE NATION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

    I REALLY DESPISE THOSE OF YOU WHO SUPPORT THIS ADMINISTRATION.

    WITH TECH THE WAY IT IS TODAY, THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIGH DEFINITION PHOTO/VIDEO OF LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT IT FLEW OVER, INCLUDING MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AND OTHER NO-FLY ZONES. THEY CAN COUNT RUNWAYS, THEY CAN PINPOINT STRATEGIC BUILDINGS, IT'S UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS THAT EVEN WE AMERICANS DON'T HAVE, AND WOULD PROVE VITAL FOR PLANNING FUTURE ATTACKS, THINGS LIKE THE SABOTAGE OF DAMS, ELECTRICAL GRIDS, MANUFACTURING FACILITIES.

    ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M PISSED THAT THIS IS EVEN A CONVERSATION.

    THIS ADMINISTRATION KNOWINGLY AND PUBLICLY SAT BACK AND ALLOWED A CHINESE DATA GATHERING DEVICE TO JUST FLOAT ON OVER ALL OF US, SENDING INFORMATION BACK TO THEM THE ENTIRE TIME, WHILE OUR TOP BRASS WENT ON INTERNATIONALLY VIEWED TELEVISION AND BASICALLY SPOKE DIRECTLY TO CHINA, SAYING: "IT'S ALL GOOD, WE'RE JUST GONNA WAIT AND SEE, LET IT FLOAT ON OVER, NO BIG DEAL, HEY SEND A FEW MORE"….

    THIS IS FLAT OUT EMBARRASSING, THAT'S WHAT IT IS, I'M ACTUALLY ASHAMED RIGHT NOW.

  9. They were quick to destroy that evidence

  10. I agree with China why would the US shoot down their balloon over US air space? It is not as if it was in our airspace….🤥

  11. First of all, why would China, that clearly have satellites if they really wanted to spy, send out a balloon that anyone can see? And we don't have specifics, right? So why jump to conclusions.

  12. It's a good thing that the Chinese spy balloon wasn't rainbow colored – otherwise the Biden government would have obsequiously knelt down before it in adoration…

  13. Well done China👏

  14. We at war with these motherfukers and we too stupid to see it what you fucken scared

  15. How long are we going to let China keep doing this s*** binder need to hurry up and get the f*** out of office cuz this s*** make us look weak

  16. Someone is falling to sleep , the fact that it made it that far

  17. More important to get your lipstick color right instead of protecting the boarders. Failures.

  18. This guy likes to get on his knees for the COP

  19. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal! This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)

  20. So it's ok for a unidentified foreign flying ship of sorts to fly over u.s . Knowing it is a spy errrr surveillance balloon and not be a threat…???? Joe's stupidity has crossed over to the pentagon.

  21. Why didn’t you shoot it down over the ocean. Please answer. I guess we have open borders and open air space

  22. Did we ask china if we can shoot it down

  23. Did we ask China if we can shoot it down

  24. Lol did he says International law 🤣 lmfao

  25. Traders that's what u are.

  26. I hope Bowen Yang plays the balloon on SNL tonight!

  27. Capture it!!! Send it back to China painted RED, WHITE and BLUE!!! With a clear message. This is a national disgrace… Reagan must be rolling and Trump would of handled something like this better that Biden. If I was President, China would be on high alert right now, as I send some fighters over there! Embarrassing. Notice how there’s no planes trying to fly into the Kremlin??? Because they would shoot it down!!! We, as a country are a bunch of you know what’s!!! Disgraceful. What’s next that will enter our airspace? Our territory??? Russian fighters? First time I’m embarrassed for our country. We will be viewed as weak…

  28. I have zero confidence in our military! I guess we need to rely on a redneck to take this balloon down! We are the laughing stock of the world for not taking action of this. We need people with some clanking balls to take care of this.

  29. China will let the pathetic USA save face and give the USA permission to shoot it down over the ocean. China has collected what it wants and released into the atmosphere what it wants so shooting it down now is a moot event other then to make it look like the USA took charge when in fact the USA is a bankrupt nation…

  30. Showing weakness, while the world watching how china and Russia collecting intelligence to use it against us.

  31. Well it's only fair since America and American's are spying on other countries and their people. Good work China (Y)

  32. US gave all their air defense systems to Neo Nazi Ukraine can't even shoot a balloon from the sky.

  33. Any violations should get an immediate military retaliation, destroy this balloon and take actions vs chinese morons.

  34. If they cant bring down a ballon good luck with bringing down a nuclear weapon!
