Government monitoring suspected Chinese spy balloon over northern states

It's over Montana and they say they're worried about shooting it down? Please, it's one of the least populated States. No Guts

I can almost understand not shooting it down. Who knows what virus it may contain. Although maybe it already is spreading shit on us. Or maybe it is studying wind patterns across our country. In any case, it should be brought down once it's over the ocean to see what the hell is its purpose.

This hits home even more that it's over U.S. soil.

Seems bizarre. Didn't quickly detect and quietly shoot it down like I would guess. Probably true that scraps would be dangerous.

Not sure what to make of it

Tensions clearly heating up over Taiwan.

Are we seriously worried about what the Chinese can see hovering over Montana? Or anywhere? It isn't like we have some secret that they'll find by hovering. It isn't going to keep our navy out of the China Sea. So, they can try to provoke all they want, we ain't that dumb.

The Chinese know where it is. They obviously know we know where it is.
Those like Nikki Haley who want it shot down immediately are dumber than dirt. I never liked that useless bitch anyway.
Nothing positive can come from destroying it. China likely wants us to shoot it down, What is aboard the balloon that will be released? We don't know and that's a huge factor. Even if we were able to blast the falling objects, the debris could be just as deadly as the explosion when it hits earth.
In either event, it would no doubt create conflict, perhaps disaster for everyone.
My guess it will hover a short while and go away.
Nikki Haley is a confirmed fool.
