UncommonLogic:The Chinese aren't that gullible..they knew for sure the balloon will get shot down... A UAV entering US airspace.. common they knew for sure what would happen.. There's something in for them in this.. The Chinese have been very impressive in tech and military intelligence for a while now...I doubt this is a mistake.. They're looking at something😏 |

jswitch:Ok. I didn't see that. It actually prices the other points though, the US was caught lacking. The Chinese wont resort to using balloons while there are other better and less-detectible ways of getting info |

The title should be AMERICA BURST BALLOON. What a shameful coverage...... Common balloon, they are all panicking, what will happen when intercontinental ballistic missiles start flying up and down? America want good things for themselves and yet they are causing war all over the world..... One day, just one day, their country will burn like others 1 Like 1 Share |

Krak: You have a point. Bit then it's a Ballon. It will float on water with everything it's carrying intact but on land it might crash and catch fire The USA wants that thing whole |

Microwhy: You are the naive one here. Go and find out how the baloon entered usa airspace, it entered from the ocean over large areas of International Waters before even getting into usa territorial waters and then flying over usa hinterland. So tell me, what was the almighty NORAD/USA NAVY/Airforce doing before it actually crossed into the hinterland from the sea? You are the one who is ignorant on boundaries and military issues. American spokesmen who have been interviewed by journalist have little to say about why they could not do anything BEFORE it actually entered its territorial waters. Yes, they actually have the option of either shooting it down or leaving it on its path, seems they decided for the latter, but that does not mean people like us should not have different opinion. This will actually be my last response to you. Thanks. 1 Like 1 Share |

useni1:. That is why China and Russia remains the greatest of all cowards, they can never be bold to tell the world what they intend to do unlike the US that will tell you straight to your face Russia lied about invading Ukraine but the US knew The Chinese lied but the US knew but was only waiting for it to go over the costal parts before shooting it down The US will either tell you or remain quite not giving out cheap lies like Russia and China 2 Likes 1 Share |

BigCowHornn: It was a risky and dumb move. It actually flew over or in very close proximity to very sensitive installations and could have gathered very important telemetry data and sent them back to China. No country wants its enemies, or even allies to have access to its sensitive telemetry data. Any way, the people that made the decision knows better, I just hope they do not regret this decision in the future. 1 Like 1 Share |

useni1: Your name sounds like Osama Bin ladin. With that type of name, there is every possible reason why you would hate anything US and any country against the US. Same reason why u could not even bother to condemn China for over stepping their boundaries. If the US had shot down the balloon without hesitation, you would have complained that they didn't even bother to find out what it was. And the US took time to investigate, you still accuse them of being slow. In your mind, you think China can take on the US in a full blown war and win? Go and make comparisons of both countries weapons and decide. Werey!!! |

Hotice085: My emotions may likely lean towards the USA sometimes but I must it that China and Russia are very powerful and formidable enemies. USA should be careful and sometimes try to address some of their concerns. But hey, its a jungle out there and there will always be enemies. And mind you, the advancement of the Chinese military is giving the USA sleepless nights because they can see that the Dragon is waking up before their very eyes. China is potentially more dangerous than Russia. 1 Like 1 Share |

Krak:. In the next 100years, China can never defeat their former lord and Master Japan talkless of the World strongest They will only remain a danger like you rightly put it, China is only puffing because of the dictator in power just like Russia. Any country depending on a dictator for leadership rather than a Parliament of different bedfellows is only country waiting to implode See the way Putin has been killing many senior figures and what just happened to the former Chinese leader, you think all this people don't have loyalists? China is only a danger to herself if she doesn't allow people freedom, this is the era of technology and innovations they can't stop their people with their communist mentality in this era 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Krak: That Ballon was 60,000 feet up oooo. Not even commercial planes fly that high Chinese and Russian satellites are only a little higher if there was anything new to be seen the US would have shot that thing down sharply All US top military assets are located underground not above ground What you normally see above ground are mountains and forests etc all heavily guarded |

China first made a mistake in not studying the wind patterns before flying the balloon, because their excuse of bad winds could have been avoided. or didn't the balloon have onboard wind detector to change course before encountering winds? didn't it have little steering mechanism to steer away from winds. america could have shot it down over the sea before entering their mainland, but we have to understand two things, likely the balloon and all its mechanisms were stealthy, the balloon is made of clothlike nylon, or other fabric material, and those materials are stealthy. The solar on the baloon is glass, and glass is stealthy to radar, (metal and steel are greatly detected on radar(electromagnetic waves). coupled with the smooth shape of the balloon,distance and height,its very stealthy. so in my opinion america radar thought they were looking at a bird at most, or one of their own devices. only when it got close did usa realise after closer inspection and intelligence that its a spy, or weather balloon, then it was too late. and now the shooting down. how do you see this facts?

Here's my analysis, the balloon has been in the US airspace for days and the US didn't talk about it until it was sighted by individuals. It might probably mean that the US didn't even detect the balloon when it first enter their airspace. Secondly, if the US claim they detect it while it was entering its airspace, why didn't they shoot it down the moment it was entering its airspace? Either way it shows a weakness of the US decision makers. Lastly it shows China has the balls to violate the US sovereignty and no consequence was given to them. Biden US lost in this balloon sh*t. 2 Likes 1 Share |

useni1: The US is a Democratic nation. You don't just make decisions without getting necessary approval. Even as the President. What data can it collect? It didn't land on US soil. There are many Chinese in the US, can't those ones spy too? News of the balloon is already viral in the US, it's not as if people aren't aware of it |
phemmyfour: 9:58am On Feb 05, 2023 |
useni1:It's a mere weather monitoring balloon. China has a better technology if they really want to spy on US |

BigCowHornn: Any asset that has to do with communication or tracking cannot be placed underground. Sattelites, radars and their signals cannot be hidden underground. If you notice you will see that I am talking specifically about telemetry signals and not about pictures or videos that the Ballon might take. |
