Up up and away

In my beautiful balloon. I'm pretty sure everybody has seen the reports about the Chinese spy balloon flying over The United States. Was wondering if anybody had any opinion about this. To me it seems like a pretty bold move to enter our air space. I don't have enough knowledge of American intelligence to know what a proper response would be. Apparently the administration's ruled out, at least as we speak, any type of a military response to disable the balloon. Personally, I can't help but think this is an aggressive move by the Chinese.

Bring it down and examine it......Ben

From what I've read, they are saying it probably can't learn anything their satellites haven't already discovered. They are also claiming a fear of collateral damage when it falls to the ground. I don't know if either of these government issued statements are true, but if they are true, I say leave it alone. Although it would be have been very satisfying to have shot it down at the border.

Just another fine example of not trusting our government to tell us the truth.

Shoot it down. The idea that shooting it down over Montana, one of our least populated states, is dangerous to people on the ground is silly. I've heard that this is partly to test how much the Chinese think they can get away with. Shooting it down answers that nicely.

For the sake of argument, I wonder if the response would have been different if the balloon was Russian?
