And it's effectively defeated our defenses apparently. China has learned a lot about our defenses, even if they got nothing back from the balloon. We just have a feckless leader who's foreign policy has been wrong for 50 years.

It should have been shot down when it was near Alaska. If we say we cannot shoot it down, I'd be floating balloons over Ukraine if I was Putin.

But it sounds like we are taking it down today after it clears SC.
There's no way China would put a warhead or canisters on their balloon.. it would be WW3 if they did.

It's a spy balloon or a weather balloon.. shoot it down and get whatever you need from it. Should have been done from day 1.
