That was a major diplomatic incident?

We're lucky Balloon Boy didn't start World War Three!

Trumpy would have shot down that balloon before it was ever launched.

So now you -------- admit it was a spy balloon? Well, we are making some progress I guess. But, you still need to tell us why you thought it was a great idea to allow the last one to float all across the US including our most sensitive nuclear installations and only shoot it down when it had completed its mission and the equipment would be lost in the ocean. How much did Xi have to pay Biden to allow that to happen?

Nothing. Biden did it for free because he's secretly Chinese and wants to help China establish the Middle Kingdom in Kansas. That's why they put MSG and gluten in Chinese food. I learned this by reading the secret messages written in contrails and fortune cookies.

Other than that, you were incorrect about pretty much everything you wrote. We knew it was a spy baloon from the get-go. We recovered the debris after it was shot down. Biden acknowledged that it was a spy balloon and we cancelled high-level talks that were to take place with China that same week. And we didn't shoot it down over the US because if it came down and hurt someone we would have to listen to MAGAts whining about that for the next 20 years, like we had to listen the GOPhers cry about BenjaminGhazi for six years.

Excepting the above, your analysis was spot-on. Please continue getting your news from Alex Jones as it seems to be doing wonders for your understanding of world affairs.
