You mess in our affairs (e.g. South China Sea and Taiwan), we can mess in yours.
To advertise a sale at Mattress King?
Why did they send the balloon surveillance?
BECAUSE THEY COULD.
It's not really a competition if only one side competes.
Maybe the best thing to come out of this shirt-show clown event is waking up a small percentage of the anesthetized population.
Why does a dog lick it’s balls?
NOW it can be revealed, it was really a bylloon. The bylloon’s pronouns are (*&”/#@/&*) a State secret. Because the bylloon was not destroyed over US airspace can be interpreted to mean that bylloonphobia, and antibylloonism are not growing as fast as suspected, and there is still time to institute Federal re-education (preschool to post graduate level) bylloonism sensitivity training and brainwashing. By the time the Feds are done, any cis/hetero balloons will be a distant memory.
To spy on and humiliate us. Rub our noses in it.
The military says these balloons have a certain amount of maneuverability. How much? And, how much of a payload can they carry? Japan bombed Oregon during WWII with balloons. What are the possibilities of Chinese balloons being used for offensive weapons??
They didn’t send *a* balloon. Just sayin’.
At 60,000 feet the horizon is 300 miles away. So take the path of the balloon and draw a parallel line 300 miles on each side and that’s what could be visually observed. Hopefully we can retrieve the payload from the ocean and tear it apart to see it’s capabilities.
Would you rike to ride in my beautifur barroon?

What could they possible spot on the ground that can't be seen with their own satellites or Google Earth?
Hell, I could see my car parked in my driveway via Google Earth.....
Yes, but they do it to pathetic and helpless nations. This was not a U2 overflight or anything like that. It was a bold, open, and in-your-face move.
In a way, it was like how the great powers sent gunboats up the Yangtze River 100 years ago. China was pathetic and helpless in those days. It looks like the shoe is now on the other foot.
Trying to reach as many people as possible about their car warranty?
Be aware that like the Ukraine Russian war threads is filled with Russian sycophants, trolls, and hangers on, China threads are even more likely to be filled with the same sorts of commenters - worse, because there is so much Chinese propaganda everywhere, and they pay their trolls far better then the Russians.
They were too cheap to send flowers.
China sent a balloon as a dry run for spreading the next generation of bioweapon cooked up in Wuhan, or setting up for an EMP strike.
We have been trying to reach you regarding your car’s expired warranty.
Really despise the propaganda of Asia Times.
