It's just an excuse for not doing anything against the democrats' (and especially the Biden family's) most important friend.

It’s better To treat it as a worst case scenario P Surprised. I would be hoping that the people in authority would take note that a war with China would not be with they expect China will do things that they don’t expect so they train according to handbooks and western thought and eastern thought is a lot different than that includes Russia

See your failing to acknowledge the role that America played in provoking all this stuff including their wargames with Israel when iran within a couple of days later had their drone factory attacked. It’s not hard to see the ham handed working of America

1 thing you should keep in mind this is China saying very clearly “we’re not afraid of you America’

I wondered if they thought the payload might be explosive/radioactive material/contain some sort of bioweapon. Maybe that could be why it wasn’t taken down.

Being the cynic that I am, I would suspect that the reason it is not being taken down is to allow the payload to disperse a new virus as widely as possible. Praise be the New World Order of fewer humans!

The Chinese balloon is simply assisting in the search for the Biden Administration’s many mislaid top secret documents.

RE: Why the balloon now?

A list of clickbait today says EMP delivery test.

No matter the reason for wasting our billions, some should have been spent on totally hardening our grids.

Not a useless war. Not aid to illegals. Not and absurd chasing of the unicorns heading to a fairy land without climate change.

EMP surges would destroy America.

Some relevant titles——
