China is a useless country ..all they do is create problem and they most times dont have solution....Corvid 19 started their they lost control of it...How will your spy balloon cross into another country space and you are apologising for it.

UncommonLogic:
Yeahp, we shot it down. China messed up big time.
The US will now go through the whole mechanism and technology on the spy balloon.

ponziponzi:


Yet, see all these US military bases around China.

useni1:
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.

Ception:
After racking up enough intel

AllDModsAreMaad:


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.

maasoap:



I don't think it was actually a spy balloon unless China was so dumb to think this was the best way to carry out espionage. So, I agreed that it was what China said it was: weather data collection balloon

FreddieGray:


According to inaccurate speculations from Lloyd Austin.

Kia I feel sorry for you.... Go school you nu go school but choose to live you stupid ignorance

FreddieGray:


They called it a 'spy balloon' but shot it down after it had completed it's mission? Buhari is better than Biden.
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.

Zeddyzed:


You think China fears the US?

Emu4life:

Most Countries are only allies to US to avoid getting bullied. The United States has no true Friend.
They have made so many foes/adversaries because of thier reckless foreign policy of invading weaker sovereign Nations at will.
It's not about religion.
Are Cubans, Venezuelans, Vietnamese etc Muslims??

1stGenAmerican:


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.

luckihy:


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.

SweetSauce:

I still don't get the reason for the 8 you Muslims have towards America.
Funny enough, China nor send una religion.

Wickedfacts:


You're a funny guy.
China warned Pelosi against visiting Taiwan. How did it end?
That US visa they refused you which made you run mad, you will never get it. Put more effort in typing nonsense.

Dimehook:

Yes they do, there are reasons why they've never invaded Taiwan, if you know you know

Inaccurate? Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is a BLACK man worth millions that rose to the ranks in the military from the bottom up. Our government is paying almost $300,000 a year to THINK AND ACT, not speculate but you somehow think that you know more about what’s best for America and how to protect it better than he does. Lloyd Austin is a FOUR STAR GENERAL that works with a multi-billion dollar budget, you post on Nairaland—who’s smarter?

Ballzproblem2:
inferiority complex SMH 🤦

vastolord4:
Now look! They want to mount a base in another persons backyard but can't allow a balloon float in peace in their territory... irony of life

Krak:


He has absolute power to make such decisions. He could make his decisions based on the advice of his military advisors, most of whom have opposing views. Ultimate decision lies with the president.

When is WW3 starting? Civilization need to be destroyed so every part of the world will have equal opportunity to develop

That's how they look for trouble and when US retaliates they start crying

University don't finish this one. Going to university is a cardinal sin. It dumbs you completely

Rebuke:



And most of them won't waste a second to jump at any opportunity to travel to that same USA.

etrange:


You anti-west people are no longer processing things logically. The US isn't mounting a base in China, Russia or any country that doesn't come into agreement with them. You send something right into another man's territory without any prior agreement, and start complaining when he shoots it down. Even when the US expressed concerns, they didn't withdraw. How does that make sense? Tell me one country that would take that? Isn't it obvious China wants to make a major move and they're looking for something to hold on to as the cause of escalation?

And please, y'all already know that Putin's war in Russia has nothing to do with the prospect of an American military base in Ukraine but his desire to take over the regions he so much wanted.

luckihy:


Yes. Don't address the stated facts. Avoid it and focus on insult. Going to university has nothing to do with this issue. Thank you.
