> Truth about the balloon
We don't really know shit, beyond the fact that we're being lied to. Again. Still. Always.
It's all so fucking tiresome.
> Why air defense suck?
Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it was release within CONUS by clowns? They either let it in, or they released it.
> How long could such a balloon, with such a large payload, remain aloft?
Wouldn't it outgass any helium/hydrogen? I thought these balloon would pop once they reached a certain altitude? How is this thing regulating its altitude overnight, over a period of days, coming from China?
> Drawing massive attention
Yes, this.
It's a false flag. Probably didn't even come from China.
Hail Victory!
> Balloons used by the Japanese in WW2
They didn't work very well, and ultimately backfired. The sand used as ballast in the balloons allowed the US forces to figure out what islands were being used by the Japanese to launch the balloons.
The balloons ultimately led to the destruction of a bunch of airbases and facilities held by the Japanese.
Balloons are shitty weapons.
> How does one restore focus to something when a distraction has been deployed?
> Gathering signals intelligence within the US is childishly easy
All the moar reason to believe that it's not a "spy" balloon.
> Taking a shot

You're gonna wanna check some ballistic tables, fren.
> Dubs
> Civilian airship cover story
It's all so fuckin' tiresome. At least this decreases the likelihood of it being a weapon, since they've claimed it an' all.
Can we go back to Pfizer and Biden and the House and the Senate and some dank-assed memes plz?
