dont i know it

That the F22 was overall a waste of money relative to its utility.

Why did you gravitate towards that takeaway instead of droll commentary on the absurdity of shooting down a balloon with a fifth generation fighter?
If tomorrow we used the USS Gerald Ford to tow a beached whale to safety, would that make the whole Nimitz class replacement a waste of money?

Might want to invest in a world globe.

joe biden was asked for comment about the balloon he said "merphlie.. mumble.. wriffle... erpleilletle..........I want a balloon to.."

Because that's also a really stupid argument lol

you find nothing absurd about using an F22 to shoot down a balloon?

Not in the slightest. You know it was like really fucking high up right? Like much higher than commercial airplanes high.

China is now threatening retaliation. Top military intelligence has leaked indicating that China plans to float another balloon across the US, this one carrying a sign that says "HI! I'M BIG BUTT BIDEN"

Pentagon just confirmed that there were at least 3 Chinese balloons over the US during the Trump presidency. None of them were shot down. Y’all can stop clutching your pearls now.
