I’m with coal dragger. Canada reason for being expired a loooong time ago. Should have taken it in trade for WWII Lend-Lease with Britian.
It’s Freanch Maine, Upper-New York State, and North Wisconsin.
The rationale I heard was that it could hurt people on the ground or some thing? Isn’t it over Montana or Wyoming or something newsflash? There’s no people there.
He takes it seriously large balloon to carry any kind of weight. I think something like an EmP will be really hard to work into that kind of restriction. Biological work even the Japanese thought about trying to send rabies over that way.
I’m just thinking of the ordnance that the Russians put up Willy-Nelly to get shoot at U2s and SR71s……

The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
Since China is demanding the US to "stay calm" and "exercise restraint"...
I say we drop it. I mean it's a balloon. No need for a volley of SAMs. Just poke a hole in it. Gotta be an easy button here.
America is not a serious nation any more.
“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”

So let's say this floats over a state with a GOP GOv with balls and they tell the State national Guard to shoot it down. Box that crap up and drop it on the Chinese consulate in SFO. That's in their powers, right? An F15 on a zoom climb should be able to get a pass at it. Heck, just a drone should be able to do it.
I think Elon should take it down..

So it is apparently high enough that it isn’t interfering with aircraft flights, which means it’s at 55-65k feet. Fighters would likely be ineffective unless a laser guided missile can operate that high, because fighters aren’t going there. We have the capabilities to take it down but we have gutless leaders. I will bet that if it gets over Delaware, they will do something. Not until then.
China, it’s a civilian air ship…..right.
