Biden: "I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible."

Biden should be arrested and shot for treason!
Rand Miller
Maybe they shot it down over the ocean so it wouldn't be retrieved proving it was simply a weather balloon!
Tom Jones
"I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible.", like it was headed toward the U.S. Aleutian Islands, part of the State of Alaska and likely target for any invasion of this country from Asia Mr. President?

I dont think you would do it ,if you were not pressured to do it ,because people were saying how weak you are

Let's be realistic about this for a few milliseconds. If that balloon blew over from PRC, it was being tracked by the US military and the US intelligence agencies, and, if a genuine threat, could and would have been intercepted long before reaching the US.
The balloon was either harmless, or this is some bizarre, contrived event conducted jointly by the US and PRC.More

apparently our military moves slowly.......... worked out for the Chinese, tho. Whatever the purpose, their balloon traversed the whole of the US and was shot down in International waters. At the last report, the US recovery team didn't think it could get to the crash site before the Chinese....... well done US military /sarc/

Uh huh. So this Chinese military spy machine (oops, I meant to say weather balloon) is spotted a couple days ago over Montana. It is finally shot down after it has crossed the entire continental U.S., over the coast of the Carolinas. Stay confessed folks, tomorrow is not guaranteed.

First spotted above the PRC homeland.
