Weekend at Bernies 2 wasn't nearly as good.

You think we have a lot of training taking down a ballon?
I can see it now 3 story ballon shot down on Bidens orders lands on a free way causes 115 car pile up
Our enemies and trumpublicans cheer
You do realize this shit isn’t a video game and there is no respawn ?

You do know it was flying over a mostly uninhabited area at one point. Even the congressman from Montana wanted it blown up. The military is fully prepared to take it out if given the order but Biden chooses not to.

I used to watch weekend at Bernie’s every night to fall asleep

love that movie. And no 2 was not even close to the first

We should send up our own balloon to fetch it intact

From your link.

"The defense official said the spy balloon was trying to fly over the Montana missile fields, but the U.S. has assessed that it has "limited" value in terms of providing intelligence it couldn't obtain by other technologies, such as spy satellites."

Go ahead, shoot first and ask questions later, my, my.

Considering we are suppose to have the technology to intercept icbm's I think a mere balloon would be child's play.

Easy fix …. Throw up the Bat Signal near balloon … *china shits pants

I think they shot it down?

"It scared me" Well, yes, Montana is a stand your ground state. and being scared is the standard for a stand your ground defense for legal homicide. So, by all means, you may invoke your right to self defense. Trump Jr approves.

Then again,

"the U.S. has assessed that it has "limited" value in terms of providing intelligence"

It's a balloon flying over nowhere Montana. What are you afraid of?

 

[Sir Napsalot]

It would be best to capture it and wrest what secrets it may hold from it

 

[HGCC]

Because it's there and this is America sir. It's what we do, it's who we are.

We should shoot the moon. Smug cheesy bastard.

Can you imagine how difficult that would be? 60,000 feet, pretty sure it would be nearly impossible to even catch it with another balloon. Maybe a big kite with a even bigger ball of string, maybe a Chinese fighting kite!

 

[Sir Napsalot]

That raises the question: exactly where does the US stand relative to balloon technology? I'd like to think that we would hold an edge on China, but then I'm just an internet-based medieval knight

 

[farmingfisherman]

I would think a radio controlled drone with a big knife attached to it might be easier if they could fly that high. Probably better than my kite idea.

Perhaps a drone launched from a balloon deployed by a jet fighter

Turns out there is a lot of good humor out there on this subject.

Another Chinese 'surveillance balloon' is flying over Latin America, Pentagon says

A Defense Department spokesperson revealed the additional balloon after one was assessed to be flying 60,000 feet above the continental United States.

Since it’s about 50,000 feet above our fighters range
Good call
