Unironically shooting their own weather balloons and trying to cause an international incident over their little xenophobic shitfit.

      Doubt it, I hear they're programmed to just seek the nearest unarmed civilian if they can't see a target.

      Missiles tend to have a self destruct if they miss. Ukkkraine has had that fail with s300 anti air missiles hitting cities, but I'd assume it worked here. Not everything the amerikkkan war machine makes is worthless boondoggle

        I'd assume they wouldn't miss a balloon that barely moves too but here we are.
