Taking 3 days to shoot down a hugeass baloon you could have shot down 20 minutes after you saw it in US airspace isn't a huge W

That's what I was thinking as well, if chinks were probing american response time then it ain't looking good

We knew of it back when it first crossed into Alaska in late January and tracked it ever since so response time was on the money.

You're the one defending the limp-wristed government officials (probably communist infiltrators) that didn't just shoot this CCP balloon down right away. Very suspicious

It was theater. Everyone needed to see this to set the stage for the next thing.

Probably a justification to continue the tech ip war with China tbh. Gotta seem like the aggrieved party.

Seem like? I think the ip theft is well documented at this point. This is leading to more military spending imho, and possible war.

I meant denying the Chinese access to certain processors in an attempt to keep them on the back foot technologically. It seems like the US is really just trying to scare China to keep them from pulling a similar invasion into Taiwan within the near future. We need time to build up semiconductor manufacturing in the US.
I'll never understand why the US decided to go all in on China after the cold war instead investing in infrastructure and manufacturing in central and south america. would have lead to greater stability and prevented any one trade partner from becoming too powerful.

The IP theft is a good thing, it's how developing economies get started. It's how the US started too.

Did they at least spend those days waving Pooh flags at its cameras, or was the whole thing a total loss?
