China again, Xi jinping is clearly looking for trouble, what message are they trying to send?

Unlike Russia, China has a lot to lose in any conflict with the west, I don't think Chinese government is that stupid sha

Is Joe Biden becoming weak or what? No US president tolerates such thing whether democrat or republican

This will cost Biden his re-election if he doesn't do the needful

Americans don't like weak Commander in chief

He should not allow such incidents to derail all the good things he has done for americans, republicans will surely use this against him.



What good has biden done? Sky high inflation, blocking indigenous oil production and depleting the strategic reserves, allowing BLM riots to burn cities to the ground, tyrannical COVID policies, empowering homosexual mob, fuelling the russa-ukraine war, coverup of his family ties to China or his terrible foreign policies especially the Afghanistan debacle?

Biden is America version of Buhari....all promise, zero achievement and a terribly polarised and divided country

Knowing Biden it's probably a set-up to try and counter the flack he's been getting over the last balloon fiasco!.. He hates bad press and I believe he's capable of doing anything to make himself look good!..

I was looking for critical thinking on Nairaland. The first and second page was very disappointing..it makes me want to agree with Borrell's view of Africans. That's the reality for some of us.

The 'spy balloon' approached the North American mainland/hinterland from the pacific ocean direction. They had plenty oppurtunity to shoot it down over the Pacific Ocean before it flew over North American mainland. From comments I've read, I'm 100% certain a good number of Nairalanders do not know where China or the US is located on the world map.
Why were they unable to detect and shoot this aforementioned 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland/hinterland but they're able to detect this new 'flying object' that approached from the same Pacific Ocean direction. Can't you guys see the BS? It was disappointing that no one brought up that question on the first and second page. I just saw adults who ought to be intelligent behave like unhinged monkeys.

Deep Space Fuzz The US put that object up there themselves and shot it down to save-face towards their citizens after the last bungled incident

China please use satellite to spy na (they have good camera from space that can read the plate number of a car).

You missed the point.
I won't debate with you on if they actually detected the 'spy balloon'. That's what they told you and that's what you'll believe.
The point is, both flying objects approached from the Pacific Ocean. If they were able to shoot this new flying object before getting to the US mainland, they should have been able to shoot down the 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland.
Don't mention me if you want to say nonsense. Nigerians are disappointing some times.
They are trying to save face.
It has been on US soil for more than a week before citizens noticed it. grin

How ignorant can you be! The USA is diplomatic doesn't mean they're weak. Do you know they posses laser weapons. Literally destroying object by Just pointing the laser at it. No other country has it. The united States are sad of some of their past deeds doesn't make them weak. And the previous balloon was allowed to fly for long so it can be out of civilian populated area before shooting it down, because it might contain harmful objects or substance. The one country that can never be invaded is the united States. And the only way to threaten the united States is by the Petro dollar, Removing the Dollar as the world legal tender. Aside that no country can bully the united States. Don't be deceived.

I simply must buy some high altitude balloons online, just to see the US spend a million dollars shooting it down. I will even suspend some radio antennas off it so they can say it was a spy balloon.

Weather Balloon 1500 g
$159.00

Our 1500 g weather balloon is a workhorse that will transport your payload higher than any other 1500 g balloon. Although it is more expensive than the Chinese and Indian weather balloons, its quality is far superior. This enables you to achieve higher altitudes with a smaller weather balloon, less helium, and less overall cost. If you are not satisfied with your 1500 g balloon’s performance, we will send you another 1500 g weather balloon at no additional cost!

Cheap 1500 g balloons have short, fat necks that are challenging to tie off. Our 1500 g weather balloon features a 14 cm long neck with a 3 cm diameter. This makes it a lot easier for your ground crew to tie off the neck after inflating the balloon.

Characteristics

Neck Diameter 3 cm
Burst Altitude 35 to 40 km / 115,000 to 130,000 ft

When that wrinkled face witch called Nancy polisi, with her coven of witches came with a military plane, to chant incantations in Taiwan despite China's repeated stern warnings, as a provocative act from US, we didn't hear you saying US was out looking for trouble ooh!
