Does that take some heat off of U.S. leadership?

What are they hoping to see, the open drainage system running through everyones back yard.
We probably have stuff in the Mexican desert that even Mexico doesn't even know about.
China says the balloons are owned and operated by a civilian research firm. Maybe they're checking the amount air pollutants over both North and Central America.
Zaphod58 responded on the other thread tonight. He said:
"It's not the balloon China claimed it is. It's got some kind of radar and emitters on board. That's a Combat Sent which is designed to identify and track radar and other radar related emissions. It most likely has a SAR mounted looking at military installations as it goes overhead."

We could send a National Emergency Broadcast over all channels instructing everyone to go outside and moon the damn camera en masse until it flies over.
They want to spy on Americans?
WE'LL SHOW THEM AMERICANS.

The China Balloon is now in between Missouri and North Carolina. It is expected to depart America Saturday, via the North Carolina coast.

We could shoot it down just off the coast. But there's that risk of killing a rare fish.

One would have to assume we have military planes with sniffers all over that, however, one would have thought we would have been warned before it entered American airspace too.

If this 72-hour fly and spy mission by China had occurred when Donald Trump was President, IMPEACHMENT articles would have been filed against him within 24 hours of the balloon's departure.
