Feels like we're getting memed on now >

I’m guessing these weather/surveillance balloons are actually extremely common since they’re probably a lot cheaper and easier than any other type of surveillance. These stories are just generating clicks and interest lately so we’re hearing about them more often. >

It does seem like we only shot the balloon down for political reasons. Spotted by nutty mid west states, pick up by right wing media to harass Biden,  uggh you locals dont know how common this is, but fine we will shoot it down so you dont bitch about it for the next decade. Biden probably saved us from the next Bengazi/Hunters laptop shooting it down >

Nah, Biden wanted to shoot it down immediately, but they were worried about damage on the ground. Pretty much the second it was over the ocean they Aim9x’d it >

Then why'd we wait until it was over the US and not shoot it down while we tracked it over the Bering Sea? >

Because shooting things belonging to other countries out of the sky just because we think it "might" fly over mainland US would look bad. >

Don't have to be over the maim land just 12 miles out. >

At that height maybe the potential debris field was calculated to be over 12 miles >

We shot it down 7 miles out. Even if the debris fell outside of the 12 miles it wouldnt violate any international laws. >

I am only guessing that the direction of travel will change debris field >

2023 the year of the balloons >

Are we sure the clowns ever went away? What if these balloons are a sign of their return? >

I miss the days where fake killer clowns was the real news instead of viruses, war and economic collapse. >

Pretty sure when those fake killer clowns were around the news was the same shit. >

No that was the most exciting thing. 
Except for when a moron from the TV was elected President of the USA, that was weird. >

King of the clowns. >

Begun, the balloon wars have. >

The west must step up to this new threat and develop defence balloons >

DEPLOY THE DART MONKEYS >

What a weird coincidental timeline this is. Balloons in mainstream news and the Bloons Tower Defence game getting overwhelmed by monkey rule 34 for memes. >

Right?  I just started getting into btd6 like a month and now there's all this talk about shooting down balloons.  Those sneaky kiwis know something that we don't.  I don't know what the NZ shadow government is planning, but whatever it is I've got five sets of darts ready to protect my family. >

Watch we’ll see reports of NZ sending blimps next >

Somewhere Nena is saying 'told you so' >

You and i in a little toy shop >

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got >

Set them free at the break of dawn >

Til one by one, they are gone >

Back at base, bugs in the software… >
