Where do the Chinese go? The Chinese go home DEVASTATED.

That's got to suck, man. Getting your balloon all busted to fvck with the whole world watching and laughing. Total humiliations for the Chinese. I mean, I can see why we hired those guys to do our railroads, but on balloons they just suck. Suck bad on balloons. I've seen better balloons at a strip club.

Yeah i don't get it at all. I am trying to rationalize to myself why we wouldn't but I can't come up with anything.

Perhaps we were waiting because the military was curious about how it was performing and where it was drifting? We will take possession of it at some point, but if it was harmlessly drifting over the middle of nowhere, perhaps we just wanted to observe its functionality a little more? I don't believe the "it would fall on someone" theory since it was literally in Montana. Have you been to Montana?

Not necessarily. It floated across the entire US gathering and transmitting info back to China. They probably counted on it getting shot down. It already recorded whatever it was going to record.

Maybe Herschel Walker was right and china was using the balloon to send their bad air to mix with our good air.

Thanks I just read that on Twitter, I knew the USA had to have something to get it down, they said they waited until it was over the Ocean so nobody would get hurt.

Yup, they found safe airspace and restricted civilian craft from the area so they could do it.

Thanks, Biden!
