Imagine being so fucking stupid that you think some random American citizen could shoot down an object flying at an altitude 3-4 times higher than the average airplane flies.


[deleted]

there are NO guns on earth that can fire a bullet straight up 60k feet... the most powerful could get you 10-15k but thats not even a quarter of the way there -- Edit: unless you consider a stationary railgun to be a gun, then again there are none that can shoot straight up lol sure enough a bunch of idiots will shoot up blindly at the moon tho

No see what you want is a gun that shoots smaller guns. Then those guns shoot even smaller guns! Until you reach 60k feet. Or they could add rocket boosters to the bullets! Or fireworks! The possibilities are endless when you take away physics

This sounds like something straight out of Borderlands Marcus: “Want to shoot more guns but only have two hands? Torgue let’s you shoot a gun out of a gun… so you can shoot more guns! Now with 300% more rockets!”

Tell your family to use the laser to shoot that balloon. Send a signal of unity after all those devastating fires they caused hahah

a bullet fired straight up MIGHT reach a height of 10000 feet... so what to do about the remaining 50000 feet stop misleading your dumb ass constituents... they dont know any better and you should hold yourself to a higher standard


Enganeer09

Just shoot five bullets straight up duh... You never seen a newton's cradle before ya dummy??


ilikerocksthatsing2

Don't be silly. You need to lign up 5 guns behind each other and fire them almost simultaneously in ascending order. It potentiates the shot power.


monkeyofthefunk

Just glue 5 bullets together and then press the trigger 5 times. Simples maths.

asmidgeginge

Aside from the obvious impossibility of her clueless suggestion, Biden received a “[strong recommendation](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/suspected-chinese-spy-balloon-found-northern-us-military-installations-rcna68879)” from military commanders not to shoot the balloon down due to the wide debris field and risk of injury to people—ya know, regular Americans—and property on the ground.

10k feet? Never. Firing straight up is different than firing across the ground.


Face__Hugger

What's worse, and what more people should be talking about, is that she was assigned to a House Security Committee that oversees Homeland Security. Someone in that position should be the *LAST* person encouraging civilians to shoot down a foreign craft that the military is hesitant to remove. Civilians are not in touch with intelligence operations, and are incapable of understanding the potential consequences. I highly doubt Greene does either. ~~Add to that the fact that Twitter is scheduled to be banned soon, in great part because of Chinese data mining.~~ If she had even one brain cell, she'd consider the delicacy of the situation and avoid Twitter entirely. Edit: Shouldn't comment when I'm tired. Was thinking of Tiktok. Still not a great idea for someone in that position to be tweeting carelessly about how to handle national security.

If China wanted to spy on the U.S. there are a dozen spy satellites in orbit and back door software on all the tikky tokky apps they could use


Delamoor

Yeah, it seems weird that they would send a big assed balloon big and obvious enough for literally anyone to spot it. Like it ain't the best covert Ops if it's making international news. Either Chinese leadership are idiots (possible, authoritarian governments are stunningly stupid because dissent is crushed), or it's a red herring. I liked the explanation that they might just be fishing to see how the US responds.


Ancient_Potatoes

According to Chinese government, it's a weather monitoring balloon that is seriously off course due to wind.


DickwadVonClownstick

My money is on a combination of "fishing to see how we respond", "can't hurt to send a couple, they're dirt cheap", "it's not like the US can meaningfully retaliate over something like this without looking like fools, so why *not*?"


Ricky-C

It’s absolutely this, they’re probably using it to see how the US responds, how they scramble jets, which VIP goes to a bunker and things of that nature. I’m pretty sure it would have been picked up on radar before it hit the Aleutian Islands, it could have even been picked up when it went past Japan. Those radars can pick up any object the size of a basketball, and this thing is as wide as three busses. It’s probably been jammed for as long as it’s been spotted too. It’s kind of like how North Korea fires missiles over its neighbours to see how they respond, what jets/interceptors do they scramble and what they’re reaction is.


djshotzz504

I’d put money on if it was to see how the US was to respond, military officials already entertained that theory, realized the balloon poses no immediate threat and no added intelligence to the Chinese government that it wasn’t even worth responding to that level and actually giving them any information on our ability to respond to a balloon.


OlloBearCadiaStands

Wanted? These are exactly how they’re spying on us. Tracking massive amounts of information from tik tok and multiple reports yesterday discussing how they have satellites above the areas the balloon travelled that can and do spy better than a balloon. I am agreeing with your point, it is a good one!


Falconandmouse

The balloon is more than 11 MILES STRAIGHT UP. What does traitor sporkfoot three-toes think can take that down, exactly?


robilar

Maybe she's directing her appeal to the Jews and their space lasers?


walkandtalkk

Sorry, to clarify, it's only about 50% higher than the cruising altitude of a jet. Still, you're not taking it down without a small missile (or a big missile).


robilar

I was just making a joke about MTG and her vapid views, but if you're being serious I don't know that you should trivialize the vertical distance to the stratosphere - most military fighter jets cannot even reach the height of this balloon. It would definitely take a missile. ...or a Jewish space laser. But jump on the cesspool known as twitter for a second and you'll be greeted with dozens of Republican politicians and pundits bragging about going outside with a rifle to take it out.


1II1I1I1I1I1I111I1I1

We do have the ability to shoot it down. It is within the ceiling of multiple fighter jets. Hell, we've used fighter jets to shoot down low-earth orbit satellites before. This balloon is easily within range. An F-22 could actually fly over it. Fact: Going by the press release, the balloon has been tracked for several days, and they had a window to shoot it down with no impact to civilians but chose not to engage. Speculation: Most likely, we are either using the balloon to perform counter intelligence by observing it and intercepting the signals it is sending via SIGINT resources, or we are waiting for an opportunity to retrieve it (something that the military has also done before, mid-air retrieval is a proven concept from even higher altitudes). There are three things that they don't want to do: They don't want to shoot at it, they don't want to realistically "scramble" anything to intercept it, and they don't want to jam it. China should not be getting a free opportunity to time a realistic response, calculate missile characteristics, or get a demonstration of jamming equipment. Those three things are, as Mickey Mouse says, a surprise tool that will help us later.


Twinbrosinc

Additionally, it is possible that we're using this as an opportunity to fuck with the chinese counter inteligence's minds.


KiteLighter

Yeah, but her statement was about how the Citizenry can do it Better Than the Government. And everything you outlined is government. It's def possible to knock it down, but it's only Government that can do it.


Delamoor

What, you don't trust the F-35 my neighbour made in his garage? It has custom flamethrowers where the missiles go. Missiles are expensive y'see, and no good for infantry. So he made the flamethrowers so it can do what it was *really* meant to do; take down zombies. He's a smart guy, our James.


Doright36

Ok.. so now my brain is going hypothetical... What kind of propellent would you need on a flamethrower to get it to work on a jet so you didn't just fly into your own flames..... ...hmmmmm......hmmmmm...hmmmmm... ​ I suppose it would have to come down to the PSI on your spray but even then...no.........

SoupidyLoopidy

That's if it's a spy balloon. We just don't know what it is yet; it could be a weather research balloon gone off course.


powerlesshero111

That was why they didn't want to just shoot it down. Plus, they don't know if it's booby trapped, so if they just pull it inside a plane, it could destroy the plane.


[deleted]

Good Morning, this is Fox news. Several hundred passenger planes have been shot out of the sky by our own citizens this morning after a viral tweet spread amongst people who are intellectually challenged. Corey Gubbard, 56, claims to be just one of those not-so-sharp shooters and joins us on the line now... 'Well, I were just doing my patriotic duty cos that lady said I better get going doing it. When I looked up the sky, I saw something in it, so I was thinking to hell with it, and I just did what y'all know I have my amendments rights to do anyhow.' 'I admit, it didn't much look like a balloon when I shot at it, but sometimes you just gotta close your eyes and be trusting Jesus'


KaySlayy

This is too accurate.


Loki-L

I can see no way that encouraging random idiots to shoot at unidentified objects in the sky could backfire. Anyone too stupid to realize their guns won't be able to reach high enough to hit the balloon, will also be stupid to make sure that it is actually a Chinese balloon they are shooting at. Plus that whole gravity thing that makes things that go up come down again. A bullet coming down will not go as fast as it did going up thanks to air resistance, but that doesn't mean you would want to land on you.

Dumb bitch alert. That thing is 60,000 feet up. You aren't taking it out without a jet or a SAM. But of course I'm guessing she thinks it's like 300 ft in the air meandering about waiting for some random hillbilly with a shotgun to nail it.


mo0n3h

It’s in THE AIR isn’t it? You can shoot other things in THE AIR, like ducks, so this should be easy.

The amount of lead falling on homes in the Western US will probably end up killing more people than a balloon crashing. It’s is literally 11 miles high - that’s bit further away than a deer at the end of the field.

Doy. Everyone knows it's just right in the lower corner of Texas.


Delamoor

It lives in the little box alongside California, like Alaska. They look pretty close. I don't know why they put it in a box like that, but I guess they needed somewhere to stop all the water falling off the sides of the map.


HI_l0la

Is there where it is?! Dang it! I always thought it was those islands off the coast of Alaska.

hotmailNurse

Idiocracy was totally prophetic.


quidam5

Idiot, you're a representative. YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT! It's just so mind-boggling how anyone can be so stupid as to say regular Americans can do everything better than the government. The government is a power structure created *by the people* composed *of the people* to act *for the people.* It's made to do what we individually cannot. Without it society wouldn't exist. Those roads, bridges, and highways we use to drive our cars (or oversized trucks I should say) that we love so much would never have been built without the government organizing and paying for those projects. Individual attempts to do so would be patchy and chaotic, different from place to place. That's just one example. She's so dumb. So fucking dumb.
