The best strategy for the US-Afghanistan war was to leave Afghanistan. There was nothing else that can be done.
Would you have wanted the US to remain longer in Afghanistan?
The Taliban didn't defeat the US, it was the ANA that abandoned theatre all the way from mountain region to Kabul.
If the ANA didn't run, they would have resisted the Taliban.
A province, Panjshir held out and the Taliban didn't run them over. It was until Pakistan joined the Taliban with aerial support before the Panjshir province gave up their territory.
Lol, ok..I disagree but there's no need to argue..most people know the facts and I'm satisfied with that.

In addition, before it got to the US mainland, it transited over the ocean...why were they unable to detect and shoot it down?
The US is just stupid, clueless and incompetent.

America is a goat where termites can't afford tryes on their depressed and illusion buckets they call car.

Oh yes they do.... a whole lot too. U know, u guys with your whack analysis of things. Russia and America are battled tested countries. But China has never been in a major war. They lack that experience which other countries have. It’s not about their copycat weapons they stole from America.

That's what they have been waiting for since. Very disciplined force. They did not act unprofessionally by assuming, because source of projection had not been determined - could it have been a chinese regular civilian ship that got close to a point in the ocean, then inflated and released this flying balloon(s). OR could it have come from an individual(s) that set this off. These and more factors,are what correct professionals do. They did not panic and start shooting at it, because it could have contained disruptive chemicals, and they also studied its communication signals in the course of its flight. Professionals. They did not act out of shame or react frantically. Nigeria should learn a thing or two in that kind of surprise situations.


The result for the ballon senders

They have put their civilian ships in danger, that is why china is cooperating with iran on the straits of homuz, and they are trying to take advantage of SA sea shores, then Djibouti, south china sea, Taiwan straits, the new lekki port, Sierra Leone ports, Senegal ports, and many latin ports.

They (chinese) acted so irresponsible in this situation, like how they act around aircraft carriers and contested spaces, they are still archaic in their actions. They have satellites that spy on the USA daily and vice versa, it is a treaty that every superpower has. They are allowed to spy on each other from the sky, above commercial spaces, but higher than what these balloons did. China don't want to play the stray balloon games. They better sharpen up on their professional habits, because it can backfire for them.


Good job from the USA, the world's best hope, together many willing of the good will humble china. China should play well o, they haven't earned world power status and they cannot fight their way in, when they have no good hope to offer.


God bless the USA.

China said it was a baloon that monitors weather that strayed into U.S. There are other ways of spying out a country from the outer space with powerful satellites a capability China and other world powers possess. I'll wait for U.S to retrieve the baloon and satellite attached to it and analyse to know if it was a spy satellite.

Everyone look at map o.
It transited over the Pacific Ocean before it got to Montana.
The US could have detected it and shot it down as soon as it got to the US territorial waters.
FreddieGray:
grin grin They called it a 'spy balloon' but shot it down after it had completed it's mission? Buhari is better than Biden. grin 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.

In addition, before it got to the US mainland, it transited over the ocean...why were they unable to detect and shoot it down?

I am of the opinion the US is too hung up on wars and fighting and shooting guns. Its just a stupid way for a country to exist.
The US has been at war 225 times out of 243 years since 1776 when it became a 'country'. And it lost most of these wars if you look the the stated objective for starting the war and the state of the country or place later on. The stated objectives are never achieved or sustained over time.
The US is now filled with veterans living like destitute and many dead in cemeteries.

The hardware portion of the satellite ballon (battery, solar array and structure is as big as two (2) BRT Bus.
The US didn't shoot it down sooner because it will fall over cities and possibly damage houses, cars, roads or kill people.
They had jammed the frequency since last week and it couldn't communicate with its base.
Americans aren't clowns, they do things with strategy and tact.
No mind those anti America jor, they didn't even know that China has since apologized after thier initial denial, a second Ballon has been spotted in Latin America

Even in Canada too... thier veterans usually end up homeless after serving.
It's a terrible way to live.
Some of these veterans develop PTSD and the govt encourages them to commit suicide.

The US have the strongest military in the world by a wide margin. No one is even close.

Sometimes when I listen to these clowns here, I laugh. Most of them sound this way due to lack of information and hatred for America.

How can u possibly fight a nation with 5,000 military bases in the world and this bases are nuclear capable. A country with the best Airforce and Navy. Even the US Naval pacific fleet alone on the Pacific Ocean can wage a strong opposition on China sef. And it’s because of this same Pacific Fleet North Korea hasn’t crossed the DMZ to attack South Korea.

Hmmmm ..... after days overland[i]a shoot down can risk casualties on the ground[/i]. With allll the empty land and huge farmlands ... mountains and valleys ... desert .... they couldn't find a spot to shoot down a balloon? ... a balloon that does not leave a debris field like a plane? But in 2001 the hijacked plane was shot down over Pennsylvania and left just a small footprint. Why would anyone buy this? They may as well let the balloon go... afterall.... it was only 12 miles to exit the US after traveling thousands of miles over the mainland.
Are they too busy fighting abroad and left the homeland unprotected? ... where the defense radars not capable of recognizing a breach of airspace at that height? Maybe it was in fact a weather balloon .... but China was using it to test vulnerabilities in the US defense system?
