In completion of today's Idiots' Political Theater, U.S. shoots down Chinese balloon off East Coast.

@roufamatic Not until at least another 48 hours. It will dominate the weekend news cycles and then fade quickly.

@lauren It is highly likely that China would shoot down a US balloon over China long before it traversed the country.

@lauren Not irrelevant. I guess you are unaware that there are a significant number of people in the US who are not as rational nor as well informed as you. Unless this overflight was arranged by consultation between the CCP and the US, politically the government here MUST shoot it down and lodge a complaint with the CCP.

@lou @lauren Yes; China dropped a rocket on a village; I have no doubt they'd consider the risk of loss of life from dropping an unknown payload 60,000 feet irrelevant.... We don't do that here.
