  1. Military will take it apart and find out, won’t they? And we’ll never know.

  2. I’d say there’s a huge difference between a Biden and a trump.

  3. Chinese make it up as needed.

  5. Excellent Nick. I ask myself the same questions. My guess is Amy Goodman picks & chooses every interview to push her views, not balanced reporting.

  6. By purposely floating a spy balloon over the center of US air space right before an important diplomatic meeting between Blinken and China’s head of state, who’s really to blame for cutting off diplomatic relations today?

  7. It got cold

  8. In 2012 China tried to seize control of Scarborough Shoal. Since 2014 China has built 10 artificial island bases, including one at Mischief Reef, deep inside the Philippines' own exclusive economic zone. The Chinese have repeatedly broken promises not to militarise their new South China Sea bases. "The Chinese have militarised those features and that puts more of our territory under threat. Only the US has the power to stop them. The Philippines cannot do it alone." -Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Cuisia Jr.

  9. But never ask the question about floating a surveillance balloon over another country.

  10. Right before a big ta-doo diplomatic meeting. Good call.

  11. Every aspect of China is the CCP.

  12. We didn’t send a spy balloon over China just ahead of a diplomatic mission, Did we?

  13.  @MJ-px2df  sure it did.

  14.  @robert8124  absolutely! Israel is the global exception. Can we guess their reaction if China floated a spy balloon over Tel Aviv?

  15. Bingo. 💯

  16. Will we ever know?

  17. Yet African, Asian and middle eastern immigrants & refugees flock to their countries……

  18. The sheer gall of China. A miscalculation on the part of Xi

  19. Another could be the weather & terrain in Alaska could make recovery difficult.

  20. They didn’t do sh¡t during the 3 Chinese balloon incursions during the dumpy trumpy admin.

  21.  @johnhirtle4300  and also floating it “accidentally” into another country’s airspace right before an important diplomatic meeting. Huge optic miscalculation.

  22.  @johnsullivan8673  are you?

  23.  @johnsullivan8673  read the opinion piece at CNN. A “miscalculation” by Xi, a belated attempt at face saving and an overreaction to our legal, reasonable response.

  24. No man, that’s in Ohio….

  25. Wasn’t it surveilling something? Even if just the weather? Not believable, but still.

  26. Because people on the ground saw it. No war needed. Our airspace; our option.

  27. Are you saying by loitering over the Montana silos, it would delay a US response? Don’t we have a huge base in the Philippines?

  28. Why shouldn’t we know? China got away w it 3 times during trump & once before w Biden. Now they know our response. A spotlight, and a missile.

  29. But let’s not mention the genocide going on right now against Uyghurs in China. Right?
