Over/under resources wasted shooting this one down is $10 million

China bankrupting the US by going to the hobby lobby and buying a 500 pack of balloons for $5

[-] lengau@midwest.social 13 points 9 months ago

I have it on good authority that you only need 99 of them.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 9 months ago

or just mistakenly not including a pack in a shipment to hobby lobby

But idea: calling your local air base and reporting something strange in the sky cutting off signals

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago

second-plane

a second air to air missile has missed the balloon

bit idea: paint a bunch of weather balloons with the Hamas flag and let them loose all over the united states

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 26 points 9 months ago

The North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs (NORAD) said that the balloon was later intercepted by its fighters over Utah, who determined it was not a threat to national security.

Woke deep state globalists can't fool me, this is the prelude to a Chinese ground invasion.

intercepted by its fighters over Utah

It would have been funnier if they shot it down, but it is pretty funny that they spent tens of thousands of dollars to intercept it.

The US MSM already has libs and hogs convinced that the PRC is intentionally sending fentanyl through the southern border. They'd probably believe that too.

China trying to bait the US into a "boy who cried wolf" situation where they keep sending weather balloons until the US stops shooting them down, that's when they send the ones armed with nuclear war heads

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

China playing the long con as always

Fu-Gos armed with nukes is certainly a take. Will be awesome in 20 years when one blows up in a forest when some camper stumbles upon it.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Wonder why they're focusing on this meaningless story instead of covering the criminal case against Israel at the ICJ over their ongoing genocide thonk

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

ALIEN INVASION! Space Farce needs $500 billion NOW!

I wonder if wearing a shirt with a picture of a weather balloon on it will count as treason now, if a picture of a paraglider counts as terrorism.
