FreddieGray: It's not that easy. The US airforce and agencies responsible for monitoring US airspace first have to identify the craft, then the message has to pass through US bureaucracy until it gets to the commander in chief. The commander in chief then has to summon his defense chiefs to ask for advice before he can give orders to shoot it down. Remember it's a balloon and not a missile or airplane. It cannot be communicated with. They would initially think its one of their own, an unusual weather phenomenon or even UFO. They practically have to send a fighter jet to get close enough to be able to visually identify the craft. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

okuta007:Like the ballon did not pass through water before entering Canada Abi China and Canada now shared border. It took 2 days and 2 fighter jets for the alleged most powerful country in the world to pop a balloon. Ballon flew over waters which owned USA best navy bases yet they did not see ballon Pele, this show Nigeria military have a chance against USA military once we pass through her def system 2 Likes 1 Share |

They could have shot it down in international waters before it got to the US or they could have shot it down as soon as it got to the US marine territorial boundary in the Pacific Ocean. Does this mean any country can fly a 'spy balloon' through the Pacific ocean because the US is scared?

Montana is a landlocked state but here you are telling people to look at a map, acting like Montana is next to the Pacific Ocean.

Americans and self styled Americans need to go back to school instead of saying rubbish with confidence China does not share a land border with the US/Canada and the alleged spy balloon transited over the Pacific Ocean to get to the US state of Montana Canada and the US share an air defense system (NORAD). Montana is a landlocked state within the US.

Why na, they should have continued to follow the Balloon to do a tour of America Airspace. They like to turn everything into Propaganda first. What they should have done since, but wise America allow all eyes to see it and all News outlets to capture the event.

FreddieGray: Nothing you cut and paste from the internet negates the fact that you were acting like the ballon was over Montana after it cleared the Pacific Ocean. For the second time: if you’re a smarter, better military strategist than Lloyd Austin, prove it by getting hired into a position that’ll pay you almost $300,000 each year or even any position where you have a defense budget worth billions or even millions. |

FreddieGray: Your battery has depleted to 9% and your phone is telling you in red letters that it needs to be charged but you feel that you’re capable of commanding an entire military full of weapons and protect a country full of people. If you can’t keep your phone’s battery strong when it only weighs ounces, what makes you think you can strategically order strikes using jets that weigh tons? Go and fire up your generator and charge your device, Sir.
