It's a balloon. It has no advantage over a satellite. We and they have many satellites.
It's either a mistake, like the Chinese say, or a provocation. The MEdia fell for it hook line and sinker. They swallowed the hook.
I love that Alex Twitt once called her Katy Turd by mistake. The name has stuck in my mind. Daytime cable news has become breathless yellow journalism.

Seriously these hacks have no fucking sense. All world powers spy on each other and on everyone else. Anyone who thinks the US isn't spying on China is clueless
