ROFL.

If it turns out it was just a weather balloon blown off course, Whell’s World will be ranting about wasting taxpayer dollars to shoot it down.

It was said, by the WaPo, to have been shot down at 60-65 thousand feet, by a Sidewinder. Cheapest air-to-air missile we've got. But I suppose it would have been cheaper to have the fighter close and try to down it with 20mm cannon fire.

NY Times says the gondola was 'roughly the size of three busses.' That sounds pretty big. Wonder if we're sure it wasn't manned?

It seems to me that those who supported overthrowing our government a couple of years ago have no standing to opine on national defense issues.

tRump is denying that so of course the GOP parrots will be saying the same. Sadly the POT's (Party Of Traitors) will never stop finding fault with Biden about this. If it's found to be benign they will dispute it. If we find out it was not so harmless after all they'll say he was derelict in not having it shot down the minute it crossed into U.S. airspace. All sorts of novel excuses will be given for why tRump didn't do the same or flat out denying it ever happened..

The difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden (other that one being a career criminal and other a decent, honorable man): When faced with a Chinese spy balloon, Trump kept it hidden from the public and let it pass. Biden kept us informed and shot it down in a manner that resulted in us getting more intelligence than the Chinese did while protecting Americans on the ground.
