Cute. By now, you know that they brought it down once it was over the 12 mile territorial waters, having first stopped flights in the vicinity. You know: Planned, thoughtful, careful. I wonder how the Chinese will respond. They have to have figured it would be lost, but perhaps they’re looking for an excuse…
Now that it has completed it’s mission over the entire US and transmitted the data back to China, Biden got the OK to shoot it down. Imagine a bombing run where you allow the nukes to drop and then go after the bomber once its mission is complete.
And who knows how long it will take to recover the wreckage and what good it will be after the salt water corrodes it. This story is buried at sea.
ABC host pops Marco Rubio’s balloon rant: It ‘happened three times’ under Trump
ABC host Jonathan Karl reminded Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) that former President Donald Trump had failed to notify Americans on at least three occasions when Chinese balloons entered the country’s airspace. During an interview on ABC, Karl asked Rubio if President Joe Biden should have gone against the advice of the U.S. military and instead shot the balloon down over populated land.
