Alaska Is Not U.S. Airspace?

.@RepMikeTurner, Feb. 5, on China's balloon: "This should have been taken down before it entered the US airspace, when it was over Alaska."

Turner today, after the military shot down 2 objects over Alaska & Canada: "They do appear somewhat trigger-happy." https://t.co/SF679Sq9YD

And drop it in Alaska, because nobody lives there and who cares about caribou and grizzly bears?

These people continue to beclown themselves.

Hello?

And Alaska is not American airspace. Or populated by Americans. So bombs away!

Accoding to the Wall Street Journal, An F-16 shot down the object over Lake Huron, quoting a congressional aid who says the object was octagon shaped and was at an altitude of 20,000ft, posing a threat to civilian air traffic.
