It's taken up too much news time. Prob doesn't have nuclear shit in it, so why not blow it away?

"We had been looking at whether there was an option yesterday over some sparsely populated areas in Montana, but we just couldn’t buy down the risk enough to feel comfortable recommending shooting it down yesterday," the official said.
Officials also assessed that the balloon did not pose a threat to the people on the ground or to civilian aviation, the official added.
The Pentagon also determined the balloon has "limited value" over what China is already able to collect through its satellite capabilities, the official said.
So BiT wants to put civilian lives at risk, against the recommendation of our military leadership, to solve a non-problem. If a balloon can really see anything significant about strategic defense installations, than that balloon is the least of our worries. --Bob
Yes, but you just asked the question (which now has been answered). You didn't state that the failure to do so was evidence that President Biden was a foreign agent. --Bob

I wasn't positing that Joe was a foreign agent. Just why not shoot it down. Stop lying.

Well, it is just Montanans, after all. We knew what it was as soon as we saw the "Hunter for Prez" bumper sticker.
Besides, they can get what they need from Hunter and Swalwell, they don't need a balloon.

Check your glasses. Or learn to read English. I specifically said you weren't positing that President Biden was a foreign agent. BiT did.
Now apologize for falsely calling me a liar. --Bob
No. I dint say that. Bullshit

There was plenty of opportunity to shoot it down when it was already in US airspace but not over populated areas. And what if it were a spy plane instead of a balloon? Just let it fly over since if they could see anything the plane is the least of our worries? Really?
Oh, and those military "leaders"? The ones allowing the open borders (not their job I know but they aren't complaining)?

Is this one of those balloons where you light a candle underneath it and watch it rise into the sky?
If so, that must have been one heck of a candle they lit.

Shit. Now I've pointed out twice that I DIDN'T CLAIM YOU SAID THAT but you seem unable to track simple English -- in particular, the meaning of the word "weren't." I thought you were just being ornery. Now I realize you're senile, so I guess I should just feel sorry for you.
Or reproduce the exact words that I used where you think I did claim you said that. Let me know if you need help figuring out how to cut and paste. --Bob

Because you can't just "blow it away." It's big and it's got a lot of metal that will pack quite a wallop when it hits the ground from 70,000 feet or so. And of course if it did hit something, Republicans would take about two seconds before blaming Biden.

Weird shite. Now someone's posted video of what appears to be the aftermath of "something" exploding in the sky over Billings

Just stop that shit. Posting personal insulting attacks is never okay, on either side!

Sorry, saucy, but I won't abide being called a liar, especially when it's demonstrably false, it's happened before, and I have yet to receive an apology, or even an acknowledgement of error. This was the mildest response I was able to craft. --Bob

Apparently, the military got your suggestion. Here's some exclusive footage of their attempt to shoot down the Chinese balloon:
