They called it a 'spy balloon' but shot it down after it had completed it's mission? Buhari is better than Biden. grin
What's the cost of the ammunition that was expended to shoot it down and how much will it cost China to build another 'spy balloon'

Thier damage control attempt is even more embarrassing.
FreddieGray:
"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Biden was first briefed on the balloon on Tuesday. However, she did not explain why the president had waited until it was spotted by members of the public a day later to acknowledge its presence."

The mysterious craft was first seen over the western state of Montana on Wednesday, before it traversed the Midwest en route to the Atlantic.

After all data have been collected and sent to Beijing. Americans are clowns. The overhyped US. Tranny military won't last 30mins in a war with China.
You really sound intelligent. But in estimation of intelligent people like you, America won't even last 2 mins. I know you underplayed it with the 30 mins as if America get any power.

Kudos

After the ballon flew over NATO most protected airspaces grin
Wait oooh, so does that mean Nigeria military have a chance against USA military as USA was unable to stop ballon for that last 12 hrs.
If USA can’t shoot down ballon immediately it enter her airspace then they can’t down Nigeria airforces, Buhari do the meaningful work now grin

They NEUTRALIZED and SHIELDED any data collection. They did not want to shoot it down over land to avoid debris falling on land. So they waited until it crossed into the Atlantic Ocean. Please don't rush to comment without the whole facts. You may not like the United States, but it is a fact that without the United States, this world will be very horrible with the likes of Russia, North Korea, and China running amok.

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.
Flying physically over a geographical area is important because you can get important and sensitive telemetry signals that is impossible to get from a distance. That's why you see spy planes constantly foray in and out of their enemies airspace in order to get these important signals.

I belive USA should have shot down thus balloon long before it entered the mainland USA. My conclusion is that Biden is not a decisive leader. He is weak. Though I still prefer him a little bit than Donald.

So you want them to down it over land and caused damage to those on the land?

What if there is a chemical ware inside of it that may be a form of attack?

The koko is they saw it and guided it until it got to the ocean top and they did the needful.

They care about their citizens.

Biden doesn’t have absolute power and like a good leader, he followed the advice given by intelligence and military leaders. There are reasons why it was shot down when it was.
