Dolly Moore, who took video of the scene, said she 'saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky. '

Maybe it was manned. Around 95% of Chinese men smoke. Just couldn’t give it up and the balloon blew up.

When Rush used to discuss the still ongoing Chinese underground human organ sales system he quoted the gangsters saying the new heart, liver or kidney you pay for will be taken from an abducted young person who is guaranteed to be a non-smoker.

Rush said that was the part that had to be a lie.

Why didn’t Canada shoot it down over it’s territory?

Their F-101 VooDoos are hangar queens. All their defence money was spent on screen doors for their leaky British subs and Dildeau's kick-backs.

They bought early mark F-18s - then decided to put Lucas Electrics-made avionics in them. Not joking.

What are the odds that China gets to do this regularly by paying Biden to let them?

Pretty high I’d guess.

Sounds like Xi will accept the diplomatic risks to get the information the balloon sent. Info sent back in real time to China. So the longer it was up the better, for Xi. Why was this thing allowed to drift and take photos so long?

Another possibility is releasing chemical agents. Hell, China got away with infecting the world they are feeling their oats.
