Over/under resources wasted shooting this one down is $10 million
China bankrupting the US by going to the hobby lobby and buying a 500 pack of balloons for $5
I have it on good authority that you only need 99 of them.
or just mistakenly not including a pack in a shipment to hobby lobby
But idea: calling your local air base and reporting something strange in the sky cutting off signals
a second air to air missile has missed the balloon
bit idea: paint a bunch of weather balloons with the Hamas flag and let them loose all over the united states
Escort them with paragliders and burger brains will melt before firing a shot 
or else the nukes will start flying
99 green balloons
Nena was right Nena was right Nena was right
No matter the question, synth pop is the answer.
Let's do it 
The North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs (NORAD) said that the balloon was later intercepted by its fighters over Utah, who determined it was not a threat to national security.
Woke deep state globalists can't fool me, this is the prelude to a Chinese ground invasion.
intercepted by its fighters over Utah
It would have been funnier if they shot it down, but it is pretty funny that they spent tens of thousands of dollars to intercept it.

The US MSM already has libs and hogs convinced that the PRC is intentionally sending fentanyl through the southern border. They'd probably believe that too.
This Is An Actual UFO Bitch! We Clown In This Muthafucka Betta Take Yo Sensitive Ass Back to The Pentagon
China trying to bait the US into a "boy who cried wolf" situation where they keep sending weather balloons until the US stops shooting them down, that's when they send the ones armed with nuclear war heads
China playing the long con as always

Fu-Gos armed with nukes is certainly a take. Will be awesome in 20 years when one blows up in a forest when some camper stumbles upon it.
Boo! Get better material!

Wonder why they're focusing on this meaningless story instead of covering the criminal case against Israel at the ICJ over their ongoing genocide 
ALIEN INVASION! Space Farce needs $500 billion NOW!
Anotha one
I wonder if wearing a shirt with a picture of a weather balloon on it will count as treason now, if a picture of a paraglider counts as terrorism.
