The balloon that came all the way from China and enter into your country through your border that you didn't know...you then caryg war plane to shoot it down....to me, I think china is testing the mic..anf by the time they will decend on the almighty US and Uk...I can't believe this. Not until I saw the video

China is seriously testing the strength of US. And so many data could have been collected ....someone somewhere responsible for this suppose to be fired ...and replace with some better than.him.or her immediately
Re: US Shoots Down Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over Atlantic Ocean by generalwo(m): 7:17am On Feb 05, 2023

Most Countries are only allies to US to avoid getting bullied. The United States have but very few true Friends.
They have made so many foes/adversaries because of thier reckless foreign policy of invading weaker sovereign Nations at will.
It's not about religion.

The way you guys open mouth to spew crap is very funny. You think real life is American movie? If China was as weak as you make them seem, I'm sure you know the US of A would've invaded them under one stupid pretext or another the way they've been doing other countries

Now look! They want to mount a base in another persons backyard but can't allow a balloon float in peace in their territory... irony of life
..... Did they mount a base in China? What if the balloon was indeed a spy equipment.... So because they don't want to be in your bad books, they should allow other enemy countries spy on them.... Abeg gettat

Shebi reading is a taboo in your family.

The article says the US were worried about shooting it down over land which would have caused casualties. They didn't want it to fall and hurt people so waited till it was over the ocean

1stGenAmerican:


A president that is wise enough to be power drunk over his title of Commander in Chief to go against the advice of people who are experts in American defense and intelligence. Biden isn’t a narc like some of the African leaders, making hasty decisions that are like cyanide for the citizens and the country.

If you know what really goes on in the Oval Office during deliberations, you won't talk like this. Go and try find out what happens you will discover that military chiefs usually have opposite opinions and it is left to the president to accept whichever opinion he wants.

My opinion still stands a out Biden on this particular issue, though he is my man, we cannot always agree. I believe he should have shot down the balloon be fore it enters the US airspace.

USA should have detected it long before it enters their territory and appropriate actions should have been taken. Inaction on this issue shows a weakness in their defence. Next time it won't be a harmless balloon that will enter, it might be something much more sinister.

Funny enough it's still the same world that call US a bully that cry out whenever they call US to intervene in a country and the US refuses. That's the irony of life. When somalia was burning and the US took their time there was a global outcry that the US did not mobilize quick enough because somalia did not have oil blah blah blah. That's the irony of life, I blame Americans for not learning how to mind their business

I believe there is something they are not telling us. The balloon flew over places where there were no humans for hundreds of miles. A USA government spokesman was asked why they did not bring it down over uninhabited territory and he had no answer.

Re: US Shoots Down Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over Atlantic Ocean by madjune(m): 7:25am On Feb 05, 2023
The Chinese are sharp and ahead.

As soon as US spotted the balloon, they quickly sent a back up balloon over South America and it backed up the survellied data from the one on US skies before it got shot down.

The second Balloon is the one that got away.

China is a useless country ..all they do is create problem and they most times dont have solution....Corvid 19 started their they lost control of it...How will your spy balloon cross into another country space and you are apologising for it.

What evidence do they have that the balloon was deployed by the Chinese?

Why would the Chinese have to deploy a balloon when they have high-resolution satellites that can give them images of the US mainland?

The US has one of the most heavily-monitored airspace in the world so how come they didn't detect something as massive as this balloon before it entered their airspace? A commercial airliner is usually around 34k feet in length and flies at around 60k ft but when it's up in the sky it looks very tiny. This balloon is flying at 90k ft and is easily visible which means it must've been massive.



You guys should learn to think critically before believing anything the media throws at you. The US has always been doing their best to demonize China, and they seem to be doing a darn good job at it

And in your widest imagination (probably after watching thier movies) you believe they could beat the Americans. No one knew of MOAB until it was dropped in Afghanistan in 2017. That's a killing device that was developed in area 52. They will admit that they are way beyond others but the truth of the matter is that none of them are bigger than the Americans in terms of military
after dropping bullshit MOAB they still got their ass whopped by goat herders in Afghanistan. America is a dog

China said it was a baloon that monitors weather that strayed into U.S. There are other ways of spying out a country from the outer space with powerful satellites a capability China and other world powers possess. I'll wait for U.S to retrieve the baloon and satellite attached to it and analyse to know if it was a spy satellite.

I still don't get the reason for the 8 you Muslims have towards America. angry
Funny enough, China nor send una religion.
Glad to know that Uju is not a Muslim.
2pac was asked to feature in a movie as a gangster Muslim but decline saying nothing of such exist.
In the 90s Islam is the most respectable and honoured religion among youth and the old even in the Western countries and that became a threat.
The tone of your words (You Muslims) shows how much you've filled your head consciously/subconsciously with what the US exactly want you to know and feel about Islam.

Did you just asked the first question? "What evidence do they have that the ballon was deployed by the Chinese? And you still want us to think critically grin boss you are a critical being angry FYI The Chinese government had a press briefing where they acknowledged it and even apologised...go online and check. Verify it critically and get back critically

You started coherently but later show how little you know about boundary and military.
How can Biden shoot down the balloon before it enters US airspace.

it might not be spy Baloon but a baloon containing virus and diseases was why US didn't shoot it on their soil but controlled it to the Atlantic Ocean then shot it down.. its common sense.. at this point do not trust china.. especially after covid and other viruses that broke out
