I'm surprised they didn't get their top gun, Mr Thomas Cruise, to do it. That'll teach those Chinese jokers not to mess with America. Think you can send your old balloons into America, do ya, well, just you think again! America doesn't fuck around with balloons... well, actually they sort of did.
Can someone please tell me they couldn't have attached something to it and brought it down slowly, you know, and studied it in tact? No sir. Shoot that sucker down. It's America.
Much ado about nothing.
Just an opportunity to blast Biden.
Much ado about nothing is spot on, the reporting has been hilarious (here in Thailand anyways). All this talk of invading airspace is unacceptable blah blah........as if the US has not been violating sovereign airspace of other nations at whim for decades. Be thankful it wasn't a predator drone.
At least our world leader has set a new precedent for others to follow eg if anything enters your airspace unannounced, destroy it. Hopefully others will follow suit and drones start dropping out of peoples skys..
