President Joe Biden is planning to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic so that it can be captured and studied, a senior source has revealed. 

The aircraft was tracking towards the Carolinas this morning and is due to exit the east coast by noon after passing over a sensitive nuclear missile site in Montana dubbed America's 'Doomsday Base'.

The White House decided against shooting the balloon down over home soil amid fears for American lives and sparking an international incident, a senior US official said.

Update: Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Spotted Over North Carolina; US Might Shoot It Down Over Atlantic (Zero Hedge)  

WNU Editor: Is this President Biden's "Sputnik moment"? .... Biden’s ‘Sputnik moment’: Is China’s spy balloon political warfare? (The Hill). This hurts President Biden because it takes him away from his messaging, and if this balloon is still floating above the US on Tuesday, it will be a diversion when he gives his "Speech on the Union" on Tuesday. So yeah. It is not a "Sputnik moment", but it will feel like one.

If Joe does not shoot sown the balloon after it crosses the coast line, it will show that he is a coward or that he is owned.

Biden is a joke. The USA is a joke. The US military can not shoot down the balloon--that's why they haven't done so already. The USA may claim to have shot down the balloon over the Atlantic, but it will be a lie. The USA is filled with lies.

The Chinese could have prevented all this drama by sending a rainbow colored balloon. Then they could have completed their objective while the US Government and the MSM celebrated and rejoiced at how inclusive the Chinese have become. No one would be willing to harm a rainbow. Especially if it's a rainbow balloon. A win
win for situation everyone.

I’ll bet it turns out to actually be a weather balloon. The question now becomes what are the Chinese hoping to gain. As Uncle Duke said, “They’re an especially tricky people,”

The second it was allowed to passover the US section of the Aleutians and was allowed to continue he demonstrated that. Even more so after permanent DC generals politely told him to sit down and shut up when he allegedly wanted it shot down.

Dems: listen to military and intel experts. Do not shoot down over US territory. Might cause deaths or injuries. Shot down over Atlantic on coast for easy recovery by divers.

Right wingers: shoot it down. so we lose some people. that is ok. Shoot now.evidence? read comments here.

Why exactly is the comment "developmentally disabled?" If you insult someone, it's helpful to point out why they're Wrong.

Anyone who's followed our leadership class closely knows they're full of extreme hubris. They routinely grossly overestimate their/US capabilities while grossly underestimating those of our adversaries. I think it's highly likely they're incapable of shooting it down even if they wanted to. US (un)intelligence actually found this one!! Perhaps it's a decoy. What are the real ones doing that they're clueless about?
