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.
Why are you wasting your time on a clown? Someone typing from his kitchen knows more than the US president and the entire US force...lol. The internet makes an idiot an expert in affairs they know nothing about.

I agree with most of the things you said.
Given the current realities, the US would not survive a war with China.
That's the bottomline.
They were shamelessly defeated in Afghanistan. The talibans sent them running like monkeys with tails in between thier legs.
Those American soldiers died in vain.. survivors end up homeless with PTSD.

seunny4lif:

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 grin

Pele, this show Nigeria military have a chance against USA military once will pass through her def system grin
Exactly o!!!
They're depending on the lack of intelligence of their followers to sell this embarrassment as a competent and reasonable strategy.

One Ode suffering from inferiority complex keeps saying he (US sec of defense) is a millitary officer 'paid to think'
That's a waste of taxpayers money as the collective US leadership have shown they're in fact incapable of very basic thinking.
The millitary officers of the countries you consider to be inferior are paid to fry buns abi? grin

This fellow also used nairaland to tell me that nairaland is for broke peoole that do not think...can you just imagine grin
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.

FreddieGray:
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.
FreddieGray:


Btw, Austin had speculated that they could 'tow' this 'spy balloon', guide it to land and study it to gather intelligence. Shouldn't a real 'super power' be able to do that? grin
Illusion is one thing, reality is another.
Did they shoot it down in international waters?
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? grin

If you truly believe what you just typed, then you’re dumber than an average mongoose.
China has the least sophisticated Navy of all the world powerhouses. Take a cue from the US made HIMARS in the hands of the Ukrainians and you’ll know why Nancy Peloci walked gallantly into Taipei.

Look at what Afghanistan did to them.
They're even unable to contain NK.
Look at the recent millitary failure of the 'spy balloon' incident?
Just like the Roman empire collapsed, the US empire has also collapsed, it's living in the shadow of it's past glory.

Oh now you want to bring Nigeria matter.
Well more people have been killed in USA in 2022 more than Nigeria.
Maybe your head need support to balance from shaking, to allow you to do research and know that more people have been killed in USA in 2022 than even Syria that is in civil war , because CNN wouldn’t report that to you.

Did you forget the civilians killed by US millitary 'interventions' in places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria?
Did you forget the one the British did in East Africa? They commit gross human rights violations and war crimes but the media keeps quiet about it and makes it look like na our own bad pass.

The fact remains that..the US cannot survive in a war against China.
Majority of the world will effectively isolate the US.
China is the major trading partner for most developing countries and they're difficult to replace.

I NEED A SPELL CASTER THAT CAN HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX LOVER BACK Contact Now ON  WhatsApp:+2347051121884      EMAIL:dr.osagbaisolutiontemple@gmail.com

hello everyone, My name is Martin Colley, When i read a testimony online on how Dr,Osagbai the great and most powerful spell caster help to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man Dr Osagbai she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works.I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family is living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers or any relationship related issues, you can contact Dr, Osagbai wonders the ultimate spell caster.

This is a moronic take. If the US military allowed it over the US, they already understood it's capabilities and chose to allow it. I don't blame you though, when you live in Nigeria and all you see is incompetence, why wouldn't your mind believe everyone else is equally incompetent.

Yes that's why I said we would wait until it gets to the Atlantic ocean grin
Or if it's approaching from the direction of the Atlantic ocean, we can shoot it down before it gets to Nigeria's mainland.

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.
Do you know a 2nd ballon from China was flying over Latin America? When asked if that too was monitoring the weather, they didn’t respond.
