Spy balloon from China was floating over US territory

[Thought Art]

Our national news said it was a spy in the headlines but it sounds like it just got blown off course. Some spy balloon…

Yeah, I don’t see why the Chinese didn’t think of camouflaging their balloon in the sky.

I think US have radar and stuff which detects it anyway.

So you know better than the US military? Call Pentagon and tell them "You are all fired".

The US was watching and tracking that balloon as soon as it lifted out of China

   Don't forget Tik Tok, made by Hua Wei, now propagating and circulating the English internet and USA.

   I can't believe we're having a discussion, let alone debating and arguing over a spy balloon. ?

100% I can’t believe I forgot TikTok. Literally a Chinese psychological operation to make the youth mentally retarded with the attention of a gold fish, make them gay and mental ill. Also spying on them completely when the apps installed gathering blackmail on millions. But god forbid a balloon flys over. It’s okay for China to have all your personal info and data but a balloon flying over showing what they already know. Oh no.

What were they spying for? Is a balloon useful in the age of phones and internet?

I'm against this balloon violence. They should have just left it up there. It was just Bing Chilling.

No lol

That surveillance balloon was the equivalent of bringing a pitchfork to use as a weapon to modern warfare lol.  I think it was a symbol but what does it mean?  Is China saying "I see you?"  Is this used for internal propaganda to what the CCP tells it's citizens?  For example:  Look at the big bad aggressive USA blowing up our weather balloon.  

There's many variables here but it's definitely not for anything useful for surveillance or the USA would've shot that thing as soon as it crossed into Alaska.  

The United States military is not dumb.  It was wise to just let it float because why give China data of the US' reaction time to shoot down stuff like this?

I heard at the end of news segment that the balloon could not provide more spy information than what satellites already can.
