Balloongate

Balloongate

Another spy ship? Are these people just foolish? Or careless? Or are we just the butt of a bunch of dangerous jokers? Or are these the product of the greatly underestimated, mysterious, and dangerous Unangax people?

What if they're not testing us? What if they're just dumb?

Why was the second balloon worthy of shooting down and the first not? The talk about commercial risk is weak because the first was powered and guided up and down through commercial levels as well.

One thing that is a direct result of this sneaky, insincere, aggressive behavior and the feckless American response is the average guy is now aware of China's risk and the danger posed by the meandering American response. Was that a smart thing for China to do?

If we put some Chinese companies on a 'forbidden list,' will that work or will they just change their names?

***

Ford is building a lithium plant in partnership with a Chinese battery company in Michigan. Is that a good idea?

The Chinese are not answering the emergency phone. Pique? Childishness? What is the point of the emergency phone if there is a policy not to answer it?

Maybe we should hire the balloon guys to monitor the southern border.
