They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to scramble a jet and shoot down a frigging weather balloon while people cannot afford basic healthcare and struggle to afford food.
You know, the biggest argument against that thing being a spy balloon is this: It is 2023. China has spy satellites just like us, they don’t need a dirigible.
Wow, the US was able to shoot down a balloon that has no weapons and can’t defend itself?? This is so impressive. We truly have the best military in the world. /s
lmao the picture of these billion dollar planes circling this balloon while an entire nation of 350mio is coping and seething below is just too hysterical. It’s such a beautiful, absurd allegory for the US as a state

The US needed something to sell to their brainwashed citizens as a win with how badly they’re getting murked in Ukraine

Maybe they’re going for the Zeppelin coolness factor.
hopefully, the cost of the ammunition was more than the “airship”.
Yes, and that’s excluding hundreds of millions of dollars worth of jet fuel
Probably went down like this
Oh, the inanity
It’s only Feb, but this already has to be the dumbest story of the year
Do not underestimate the BBC’s journalistic capabilities like that, there’s gotta be more where that banger came from
I mean…fair point lol. At least people are calling it a weather balloon now if you can believe it

Did they send F-35? In such case the balloon could probably win.
Now I get why the US is so scared
Rekt
after it flew across the entire country lol
And they’ve had a week, with F-35s and whatnot constantly circling it. They’ve probably burned 1 Billion dollars in air fuel by now, not even joking.

I can hear the voices of chuds in my head cheering and yelling about how they “showed” the Chinese not to mess with burgerland.
This entire country is a circus
Speaking of circuses made me think of Pennywise XD
Stop insulting circuses
