It turns out the balloons weren’t spy balloons after all. WHAT?? Who could’ve ever predicted this?
But of course, the first one still was. That makes sense. /s

one the balloons was literally a 13$ school science project
Yes, a $13 school science project to help the evil CCP spy on US citizens. Aha! You accidentally exposed the CCP’s child spy program! /s
Pretty funny that they spent like 1000 bucks to destroy that 10 buck balloon.
Is there another one? because I know they used an f22 raptor and a air to air missile to shoot the first one down and that cost has to be in the millions of dollars.
lol you think it was that much? i have no idea but anyways that balloon was a high value play lmao.
Oh yeah, the air to air missile itself is like $400k, and flying that jet is incredibly expensive. I think the maintenance hours exceed the flight hours or is that the f35. Regardless, it is a lot of meals for the homeless.
this is scandalous, the Usonian government is usually so honest and trustworthy
Yeah, this is so unexpected. It must be Putin’s fault.
“Biden is a puppet for China” and other coping methods are inbound
“Beijing Biden!”
So this made me think. Did the army/air force know? Were they unable to spot the difference between a high tech spy balloon and an amateur project?
If so, why spend so much resources trying to destroy it? If not, oh boy…
the us spent thousands of dollars for nothing lmao
I mean it was a good distraction from the chemical disaster in Ohio
