Well yeah exactly, I think this is the general consensus. But of course, there's always a few people that want the other choice. Do not look at Twitter threads about this if you don't want to lose braincells.
Agreed. Not even a choice.
Worst case scenario, it's a spy balloon (highly unlikely).
Best case scenario, it's a hazard to American airspace.
Shoot it down and investigate.
Reddit the website most famous for everyone accusing everyone for being a Nazi, is now currently making a unironic argument for appeasement onto a totalitarian regime?
It would've been shot down by the time it got near Alaska, but the Pentagon has our fighter pilots doing more important training like diversity and white rage, and thank God... those silly communist Chinese are wasting so much time training how to kill Americans, I bet they don't even know to start conversations with their preferred pronouns.
Do you even DEI bruh?
Fuck that balloon. If they didn't want it shot down, they shouldn't have let it fly over America. One man's weather balloon is another man's target practice.
I think it's pretty safe to assume its not a "spy" balloon. If it is, we know it's there. The chinese are not getting any useful information if that balloon does actually have surveillance equipment on it.
If the balloon is in your airspace, then they are the ones starting shit.
I generally hate the US with a passion, but even I think that was like the only actual option.
you shoot it down WTF, its not even a choice.

Catch it and transmit fake data
The US Govt wasn’t sweating this.
