Emu4life: The people that know you best are your family, immediate friends, and neighbor. Check how many of China's neighbors like them. I can count on one finger just three Pakistan, North Korea, and Russia (For obvious reasons). China laying claim to 90% of the South China Sea is a big problem. 19 countries in that region alone are in disputes with China over that area. International Law and norms are not on China's side. The USA despite all its problems and shortcomings (God knows there are plenty) is still the one country that 80% of the world population looks up to. Even within China, 65% of her population wishes to migrate to the USA. Like my former President Barack used to say "There is no other Country in the World where the story of my life, dream, and aspiration could have been possible except in the good olde USA". From Sea to shining Sea this is still the land of the free and home of the brave. 9 Likes 4 Shares |

useni1: Partner I am going to let you in on a secret. The combined military budget of China ($220B). Russia($95B, and France $80B) is not up to half of that of the USA ($880B). The USA is the only military power that can fight in all the world's oceans. China's power is limited to its immediate coast. Just as the whole world is now finding out that Russia is third-world rated when it comes to fighting a conventional war. Small Ukraine has been fighting Russia for close to a year with no end in sight. Conventionally the USA would have overrun the whole of Ukraine in a month of fighting a conventional war. China makes noise but trusts me they can't back it up. As long as the Seventh Fleet is anchored in the Pacific ocean China will never and I repeat will never dare invade Taiwan. 10 Likes 6 Shares |

seunny4lif: So u think America noticed the spy balloon last Tuesday and we're looking at it as if it's a toy. The president was notified last Tue and govt didnt do anything until the public saw it. They were hacking into the spy device to see if they could gather intel from China itself. That's why govt was quiet about it. It's a case of thief steal, another thief collect. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

useni1: FreddieGray:China and Russia are able to produce more weapons (effective and efficient) at a significantly reduced cost than the US. That's a millitary advantage. The US over inflated budget doesn't translate to competence and capability. They (the US led western coalition) were completely thrashed in Afganistan (despite their heavy spendings) and literally begged the Taliban to let them withdraw in peace. 3 Likes |

Burgerlomo: The main reason it wasn't shot down was because NASA wanted to be able to control the debris area after falling so that NASA can study what was inside the balloon. NASA are expert in identifying and gathering ocean debris for analysis. 1 Like 1 Share |

t2luv1: about Obama speech - is that the right quotes or you reframe it, was thinking about his 2004 DNC speech in Boston where he said "in no other country on earth is my story even possible" |
Re: US Shoots Down Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over Atlantic Ocean by Nobody: 2:12am On Feb 05, 2023 |
They could have shot it down over the Pacific ocean (the direction from which it entered North America) and study the debris. The excuse of the guy above me is just shallow..very shallow and devoid of common sense.

The US interferes in the domestic affairs of other countries (uninvited). They also killed Soleimani while using foreign airspace without authorisation. This was in violation of international rules and the sovereignty of the country they disrespected. They should have a taste of thier medicine. I'm glad the US is challenged by Russia and China.

Different strokes for different countries. Super powers are fighting because of ballon. We in Nigeria are fighting because of scarcity of cash, no petrol, bad government, insecurity, lack of water, vote rigging, bad roads, nepotism, corruption, wickedness of people against fellow Nigerians, japa syndrome, breakdown in social amenities among others. Oh Lord, when are going to.stsrt fighting over ballons 5 Likes 1 Share |

China has a lot of satellites to monitor the US and US also monitor china. The balloon has been assessed not to have posed a greater threat than the satellites, that was why it was allowed to a safe area before being shot down. |
Re: US Shoots Down Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over Atlantic Ocean by Amayabor1: 3:55am On Feb 05, 2023 |
seunny4lif: Stop exhibiting your illiteracy here. The US knew the moment the balloon entered it's airspace. They delibrately didn't want to shoot it down initially because according to the Pentagon, the debris can harm people on the ground. It was shot over the Atlantic to reduce the risk of injury to people on the ground. Una too dull for Nairaland. 2 Likes 1 Share |
