Fair enough. Let me clarify. By common knowledge, I meant that the information I mentioned is publicly available for those who are interested enough in reviewing it. I understand that liberal Americans would rather ignore it and talk about woke social theories at NFL playoff parties than discuss how Biden is destroying their national security and imperiling their lives.
You are right. Many NFL playoff parties include much talk about woke social theories. I think there is even an outline put out by the Antifa organization to have group discussions during commercial breaks. Of course, that only takes place when we are not discussing how the US bioweapon defenses have decreased under Biden.
It was clever the first time, but now you are actually riffing on your own riffs (NFL parties).
That Chinese balloon, and the precedent it is setting, is a threat to national security. The liberal Biden administration is doing nothing to address it. Liberals, such as yourself, dismiss the situation with (attempted) humor and irony. That is unfortunately where we are.

Exactly.
All the people freaking out about this would probably freak out if a nuclear-armed nation revealed they had developed a musket.

Helicopters don't fly anywhere near 60,000ft.
Turbos can reach 25,000 max. I've been at 22,500, once.
Libs will look the other way, but if Trump were in Office, they'd be b*tching to a whole different level playing armchair quarterback page after page. As you can clearly see, the regular libs quickly made their presence on this thread.

Right wing media is trying to stir up Trumpist AR-15 crowd to sell clicks and ads top the rubes. That krew has barely heard of the Spanish American War, let alone Hearst's role in getting it going so they play along like dopes.
On the prologue to the war:
The eruption of the Cuban revolt, Weyler's measures, and the popular fury these events whipped up proved to be a boon to the newspaper industry in New York City. Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal recognized the potential for great headlines and stories that would sell copies.

Total BS post about the right wing media and Trump. Your bias is to an extremely sick level.
The left wing media, one that dominates and controls the majority of the information, lies.

dude take a look at foxnews.com. It's balloon talk 24-7. Fox News is how the rubes get their news and those country folk now are half-convinced that Biden is being paid by China to look the other way while China invades the US. Certainly that crowd is terrified that Biden isn't protecting them. It's all so rote and easy to scare people and that's what right wing media does.
right wing politicians are putting photos of themselves on social media with large guns, pretending to be ready to shoot down the balloon. It's a regular right wing media fest. Even bumped Hunter Biden off the front page! Amazing!
Just a total waste of democracy, right wing media.

Here comes an inevitable new social media trend: Trumpers in tactical gear filming themselves shooting a bunch of birthday balloons with automatic weapons, turning to the camera, ripping of their sunglasses, and saying: "Hey, China Joe, THAT'S how a real man takes care of business."
They're getting close. Only a matter of time!

With the intelligence of the average American, I expect there will be those that shoot their guns at a hot air balloon with someone riding in the basket thinking that it is China's weather balloon that is 60,000 feet in the air.

The fact remains that a nuclear-armed nation, and enemy of the U.S., deliberately launched a military surveillance program over U.S. airspace. They are continuing to do so at this very moment. Attempts to trivialize that unprecedented aggressive Chinese military behavior with funny, but uninformed comparisons to satellites in internationally recognized orbits and jokes about muskets play well on message boards, but don't alter the facts set forth above.
Nor do they alter the fact that the Biden administration has decided passivity is the best defense against this aggressive foreign enemy that apparently didn't think twice about invading U.S. sovereignty with high-technology military surveillance equipment, and presumably will do so on an expanded basis going forward (i.e., whenever it wants to while Biden is president).

US should send dozens of unmanned Snoopy1 blimps across China with "Spy Balloon" in big letters on them. China would have to waste hundreds of millions getting rid of them. They would then say how ANGRY they were, because China is always angry about everything.

Great idea, as soon as the balloon factory in China makes them for you and ship them over to America so you can launch them back to China because American don't have the ability to manufacture anything.

At least Biden to the hard stance of not sending someone to visit them. That’ll learn them. If they do it again, we won’t return their texts.

Yep. Counties spy on each other. Every day. All the time. It's just accepted.

So many dolts on this site just reacting to fit their political narrative.
The military analyzed the scenario for shooting it down. There is risk to American lives from the falling debris from the shoot down. And, they determined the intelligence value of the balloon to the Chinese is pretty low (they aren't learning anything they don't already know from spy satellites). Putting those two things together it was a no-brainer to just let the thing float away.
Yea, with all of the spy satellites up there the only reason you would have such a low altitude surveillance balloon is to cause the type of discord you are seeing now. #HmmmBiden!
