This time Trudeau ordered the object to be shot down over Canada.

Turns out it was a false alarm.

Which just goes to show you how on-edge NORAD is these last few days.

At least our F-22s are getting live missions.
We should have never gave into those euro****s, the F-22 is dominant in all things.

Dang, I wish they'd stop shooting them down, they're harmless.

Here's one I came across last week while out cruising, picking up chicks in my homebuilt.

As you can see, Bigfoot was out for a cruise too -- looking for a female Bigfoot. I don't think he ever found one, but he was a cool guy to drink with.

Anyway it turns out its a US conundrum; you mean we don't have standard protocols for detection and interdiction of incursions into US air space by....well.....ANYthing?

And don't tell me all of these weren't detected, there is an intelligence site in Shemya, AK in the Aleutian Islands where I had buddies stationed years ago not counting NORAD who track things "in inches and ounces".

These balloons or whatever should have been quietly shot down, with bullets, dismantled and studied without all the hoopla and speculation as to their purpose by people like Whoopi Goldberg.

So our gov not identifying what was engaged is cool? It's cool another commie, castro jr, is involved helping give it an aura of credibility?

We're also cool that they are in a panic and shut airspace over Montana due to a "false alert"

All this took the classified doc thing off the news. It also took the brain dead SOTU, FBI targeting catholics and the hunter biden stuff out of the news, while also getting people to cheer mil action above their heads and condition them to accepting vague explanations why.

Yup. The political class, everywhere and at any time, knows that military action will always bring "the masses" to their side, and that they can lie with impunity and will be believed.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

The real enemy is within, not flying in a balloon. Marxist thinking controls DC, most state Houses, all of academia, journalism, medicine, Hollywood, sports, the courts, the military, the weather, energy, banking, comedy, auto manufacturers, the internet, yadda yadda yadda . . .

The true story here is why they were ignored completely and nothing said about this time, or the times during the Trump administration UNTIL someone on the ground spotted them and made it an issue. Now all of a sudden we are scrambling and shoot shit left and right.

The one shot down came across Alaska...no action....across Canada...no action...across the US...no action. As it is exiting, it's shot.

Now scale this down to everyday life. A guy climbs the neighbor's fence...nothing...he climbs your fence....nothing...he walks around the entire perimeter of your house looking in the windows...as soon as he leaves your yard...you shoot him.

B-B-But Whoppi is a high school dropout. That should qualify her as a Subject Matter Expert on foreign intelligence gathering!
On a serious note, Frank, which one was more fun to drive: the '61 or the '63? Not more comfortable, more better, faster, etc. Just more FUN?

This brings our total to 4 balloons shot down. If it keeps going like this, Nena won't have any balloons left.

The idiot waits a week to shoot down the first one then turns into a balloon spree killer.

I think some of the targets have been well above the operational ceiling of planes like that.
