A balloon that was suspected to be a Chinese spy apparatus has been shot down by the United States.
The balloon was shot down by a fighter jet dispatched from Langley Air Force Base with an AIM-9X air-to-air missile.
The balloon was shot down around 2:39 p.m. ET on Saturday, and it was about six nautical miles off the coast of South Carolina when it was brought down.
Footage of the event has been shared on Twitter, showing the balloon falling from the sky. No harm was caused to military personnel, civilian aircraft or maritime vessels, according to a senior defense official.
Why did it take so long before orders were given for the balloon to be shot down? All surveillance intended was captured and probably transmitted to CCP. This needs to be investigated and why the president waited so long to give the order to take it down. Biden’s conspiracy connections with China leaves questions to be answered such as does China have something or things over Biden if told would lead to Biden’s impeachment or charged with treason?
Look who's in the White House . Imcompotent senile clown
He was not voted, and whoever placed him there cheated the people of the US, How can any sensible person Vote to have an ignorant fool leading the world, for, he has actually done everything wrong from the git-go.
It has to be Biden. He cannot make a decision. At least a correct decision. He is the greatest danger to our country. Not China or Russia.
It probably took Brandon that long to form a thought.
Because Joe Biteme is a Red China puppet.
This whole thing smells to high heaven. Why the hesitancy of the US to shoot it down? How come if it was spotted over Alaska wasn’t it shot down then? Why wait until the balloon did its spy work
before it was shot down? Why risk compromising out security even though it could endanger innocents along the way? Which is more important collateral damage or compromising our security? Why would China risk starting a war with US? This looks much like Pearl Harbor. Encourage the Japanese (Chinese in this case) into a trap and start a war to benefit the already rich to make them even richer yet. This was all done on purpose and we Americans are at the the short end of the stick thanks to Biden and company.
We spent $400,000 on an AIM-9X missile to pop a balloon, when a couple of small caliber bullets would have deflated it with same result ???
After allowing the Chinese to overfly the U.S. for a week and collect all sorts of intelligence, including in the vicinity of a U.S
Nuclear facility without being disturbed, Biden finally orders the balloon to be shot down over the open ocean. This after dispatching military ships to clear any ships from the area so there was no chance for the public to find out what the craft had collected. That way, they could put ANY spin they want if the craft can be recovered.
Probably should start keeping tabs on the bank accounts of “The Big Guy” and the other members of the Biden Crime Family for large deposits from the Chinese….
As soon as it was spotted should have been shot down but biden is indebted to China
If you are waiting for a cheer...fawwgedaboudit!
AS THE SAYING SOMETIMES GOES....SOMETHING IS WRONG IN CHINA......WHY THE HELL DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR OUR STUPID PRESIDENT AND THE MILITARY TO REACT TO THIS THREAT FROM THE MOST MISERABLE COUNTRY (CHINA) IN THE WORLD..??? SOMETHING IS SO TERRIBLY WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT WITH OUR MILITARY.....THIS IS NOT WHAT THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN LIKE...WITH TRUMP.........NOW - WE HAVE A CLOWN - BIDEN AND ALL OF HIS MISERABLE CRONIES, WHO ARE TOTALLY..."WORTHLESS". ! ! !
Who says we have a pResident and Military Forces, his admin and Military has become the laughing stock of the world consisting of stupid democrats, LQGBT, Muslims who make their own rules to follow. Sure hope we do not go to War with those idiots running this Country, Guess his definition of blow them to death takes on a different meaning.
Pedo Joe waited till the balloon had sent all the data it collected to China before shooting the balloon down. The LIE it could not be shot down over land was just that a LIE told to protect Pedo Joe and Hunter’s pay from China. The reason China wanted it shot down over water was so when the electronics hit the salt water they were made WORTHLESS like the FECAL MATTER overflowing Democraps otherwise empty skulls.
The Chines claim this was a weather balon that should not have been shot down .
