No way would any self respecting redneck waste a Busch light like that when a shotgun blast would work.

This chit is ridiculous you think the guberment has all these crazy capabilities, maybe they do, but if you don’t use the force part it’s a total waste. This dumbass balloon should have been vaporized without fan fare the second it crossed into our airspace.

Only hope we have in the next big US conflict is a ground war here with millions of armed and pissed residents. What’s more likely is China cuts off out power grid and we all starve death or beg them to turn it back on.
Yeah our entire energy grid is dependent upon China. The entire damn thing. We don’t have the capability to maintain it without them. How effing stupid are we?!?

No reason not to shoot it down.
It would take 10 million dollars to shoot it down, by the time the military puts time in to locate it, track it, gather information, get the artillery to shoot it and finally figure out the best way to shoot it down the money will be racked up from Democrats with their hands out.
Then suppose they miss the cost will go up and what if they miss the shot? It will be embarrassing.

You can't get there from here.

Isn't that already happening?
We spend much more than that on way less important things.

From what I am seeing the balloon will be gone in a few more days. It is the size of two school busses and if shot down it may land and kill someone.
The Chinese have satellites and can already see everything they need to just like we can see what other countries are up to.
But the Chinese may be testing to see if they can drop a bomb or use it to deliver a bioweapon.
How was this thing launched?
