We really do live in Dumbshitistan.
So, the same people who bought that a flu caused the worst “peace time” disaster, ever, seem to be believing that whatever flew over some of the US for the past few days is a Chinese “spy balloon.”
I mean for Jesus Tap Dancing Christ’s sake, really?
First of all, I don’t think China is in the 19th century when balloons were taking 80-day journeys around the world and they have satellites for spying. What would come from a spy balloon that is not readily available on google earth? China has spies in the U.S. government, as the U.S. does in China. Anyone remember that Congressman Eric Swalwell from my state slept with a female, Chinese spy, Christine Fang (allegedly, I have to say), and then he had the nerve to be so upset to be taken off the House Intelligence Committee (just in this new Congress)?
Then, the world’s biggest military industrial complex missed it from the time it entered US airspace in Alaska, until it was over Montana? Come, on Jack! Then the spy balloon was allowed to sweep across the country, apparently “spying” on us?
Come, on Jack! Only the U.S. government gets to spy on us: on every email, text message, phone call, search engine search, our bank accounts, and social media posts? I mean, how effing dare China spy on us!
When something idiotic and distracting like this happens, my first cynical thought is: “what is this trying to distract us from?” The fact that Hunter’s laptop was legitimized? Or the fact that Biden has classified documents lying around all over the Northeast? Or that the US is sending billions more dollars and weapons to Nazis in Ukraine? It’s hard to tell—-so many embarrassing Biden actions to enumerate.
Republicans were especially LOUD insisting that the balloon be shot down. Because, if some Republicans, or Conservatives, are skeptical about Ukraine; THEY WOULD LOVE A WAR WITH CHINA! Just like the Demolibs scapegoat Russia for everything, the Conservalicans do the same for China. I guess they didn’t get the memo, that Congress and the White House are the main enemies of humanity.
So, Biden shot it down with his super-laser power Biden-eyeballs and restored peace and prosperity to the Number One Democracy on planet earth! I’m just thinking they should have pulled this scam closer to 2024, I mean, who’s going to remember (certainly not Biden) Biden’s act of selfless heroism over a year from now? Bad timing, but:
Yea, Biden!

The US just twisted the arms of the Philippines' Government - to put three new military bases in their country - after having closed a bunch previously. So there's that...
I think that this really was weather balloon. But the US has used balloons to distribute incindiary devices in Japan, as i recall. It's quite possible that the Chinese wanted to weaken Biden through the embarrassment- while subtly reminding us that low tech warfare is hard to counter - and the US is downwind from China.
I agree with your reasoning 100%. This balloon lunacy is meant to distract us from something else. Not sure what that might be. One possibility is the US consideration of sending long(er) range missiles to Ukraine.
Sheesh, next thing you know, the Chinese will send floating candle lanterns across the Pacific to burn down the West Coast.
