      A weather balloon shooting down an F16.

      Or maybe vice versa.

              Perfect meme fodder.

                        2 questions about the spy balloon…

                        Was it really too dangerous to shoot it down over fucking Montana? There’s like half a person per square parsec in that state. Makes me think they were worried about dangerous materials on board. (Rank speculation)

                        The DoD said it didn’t provide any capability the CCP didn’t already have through satellites. Oh really? How do they know? And if that’s true, why did the CCP bother?

                          Here's a suggestion, how about shooting it down over the Aleutian islands, when it was first spotted? It's even more sparsely populated there than Montana.

                          Excellent points.

                          Now, what about the OTHER balloon going over Latin America right now?

                                          Poor widdle balloon. Never hurt anyone.
                                          I hope that pilot can live with himself.
                                          I need a moment.
