you can't shoot it anyway, it's only a projection. the real threat is disguised as its shadow, which is an ultra-thin space supported by an inwardly-drected AT field

Filipino Activists Protest Deal Granting Greater U.S. Military Access to Bases quote:The Biden administration has reached an agreement with the Philippines to give the United States access to four more military bases in the former U.S. colony. This will allow the U.S. greater access to the South China Sea and Taiwan as tensions rise between Washington and Beijing. The deal was announced after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in Manila. Marcos is the son of the former dictator of the same name who was a close U.S. ally. https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNews/status/1621008168032800768

There was a Twitter thread I can't find but balloons are tough to shoot down weirdly. A rogue weather balloon had a thousand rounds put into it and it just leaked and came down three days later.

does the upper athmosphere even have high enough oxygen concentration to combust hydrogen anyway? or are those helium balloons?

Maybe I'm naive but I just assumed this thing was a weather ballon and the hooting about spy ballons is being driven by an insane war aparatus in a dying empire that feels the need to rachet up fear at every turn

Does the balloon stay within the attitude of US airspace and not quite high enough to be in the low orbit? How come people are taking photo of this balloon, how freaking big is it?

“This balloon surveillance mission really demonstrates that even when Xi is trying to improve the tone of the relationship and the rhetoric softens,” Mr. Thompson said of China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, “there is no interest on Beijing’s part to act with restraint or amend its behavior in ways that actually contribute to genuinely improving the condition of the relationship.” After the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued its explanation, Mr. Thompson said: “I don’t think the statement changes the facts or the violation of U.S. airspace. At best, it is irresponsible.” it’s a spy balloon regardless of the facts lol

Vox-approved sources in the future Will theyneven bother retracting it? The media's default position is that everything Offical Enemies tm say are lies. Even though even thinking about it for even a moment would show how stupidly useless a spy ballon is
