Re: Spy Ballon
And Putin wasn't invading Ukraine, either. Right? This country has been in bed with China for a quite a few presidents at this point. All about money, like gambling in Vegas

In trying to source it, I called several suppliers other than my regular guy. When I asked about availability, a couple of them just laughed...."we can't get the resin...from China".. We are sold out to the Chinese for kickback and crack money for the "Big Guy"...whoever that is?

Re: Spy Ballon
Thought this funny, although what’s happening isn’t funny.

Re: Spy Ballon
It should have been taken down when it entered US airspace when there was a very little chance of it hitting populated areas . US and Canada did nothing

Re: Spy Ballon
It's now over Asheville NC ... If it's allowed to exit US air space without any action to seize it . Or they totally destroy it making it unrecoverable there will be serious questions that will never be answered to the general public , EVER !
we're all just rats on the wheel .

Re: Spy Ballon
I'm sure they knew about this balloon as soon as it went into air space. The true story could be anything from diplomatic concerns (???) to "I thought you took care of it"*
* 1/2 comically said

Re: Spy Ballon
There's a private Chinese school in San Diego.
I used to drive right past it when I was working down there for a few weeks.

Don't sweat it guys. They're just trying to find California because I ordered some dim sum and egg rolls for delivery. And you know how they drive.

Re: Spy Ballon
My cousin lives in North Carolina and just sent me a pic. Not very impressive but this is it.
It’s out of range or my BIL would have shot it down

They just shot it down. I can’t post the video he sent here due to the language

Re: Spy Ballon
why not just fly by and put a couple rounds into it ? Nope they have to shoot it down with a rocket and destroy anything that could have been recovered . Another cover up .

Re: Spy Ballon
Too little to late as usual, it got what it needed and taken down offshore, that'll make it easy for recovery? Shaking my head

Re: Spy Ballon
Never pass up an opportunity to target practice. Now they'll know what to do to the next one BEFORE it crosses into US air space.

Re: Spy Ballon
Of course I do not know about things this high level up from me ,, but I do remember playing tag and the sooner you spotted some one you ran back to the spot and tagged them ..
it does seem to me that the tagging should of been done on our western side of the unitied states instead the eastern side when the president okayed shooting it down.. China gets what they wanted we crossed the whole nation of USA and says ,,yeah go ahead and shoot it down ,, were done..

Re: Spy Ballon
Okay I'm hoping this was American kids with a fun balloon project and all they could unfortunately. buy was Chinese parts....
makes me think if biden had order not to shoot down the balloon over his garage with his Corvette inside, I understand I wouldn't want my garage crushed also. Last edited by NGN; 02-04-2023 at 04:39 PM. |

Re: Spy Ballon
I'd expect that the US had a jammer aimed at it the whole time. Us common folks won't be told one way or the other about that, though.
