The reality is most likely a big fat red herring. How much would it cost to build the balloon and cut it loose empty? How much USA resources were used tracking and shooting it down? Comrade Xi got some pretty good bang for his buck.
I think it's good practice. We already got the stuff sitting there.

If you are Chinese and know your history the Balloon story is famous and laudatory due to its simple genius and taking advantage of the idiot Americans, just a few years before they were overrun, by the right Chinese.

I imagine this whole thing gave the US military a good opportunity to test out its latest and greatest ECM weapons suites as well as our SIGINT capabilities, assuming the balloon was transmitting info back home.

you seem to think this is something new..


You seem to think that, had I known about any actual Chinese balloons over Trump's America, I would have treated it any different than I'm treating Biden's balloon cowardice. I'm absolutely positive, if you had known about Chinese balloons over Trump's America, that you would have been SCREAMING bloody murder. Please link us to your posts.

I see the stories by leftists citing leftists claiming that the same thing happened under Trump. However, I'm still looking for contemporaneous news stories about it.

Where are those? .....or are leftists here just claiming that leftist officials can't possibly be liars?
