The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

So how do you shoot down a balloon like that? It's 60,000 feet up and something like an ar15 only has an effective range of 1,800 feet. So you need a bigger gun. Then you've got the problem of making sure your shots don't land in a populated area.

I'm sorry but isn't this why we pay 80 bajilllion dollars for a fleet of F-35s? Was air to balloon combat not one of the roles for our next gen multirole aircraft.

I need balloon frenzy to continue for at least a few more days. I’m this close to my Harry Potter/Hong Kong Fuey inflation Chinese weather balloon ship being ready to forget to spellcheck and post

i like the repeated use of the word civilian from Chinese press. imagining some Chinese dude who likes tinkering being all proud of his big balloon as it floats off, reporting back low-quality data from commercial parts.
