Chinese Spy Balloon

I'm thinking the main reason to do this isn't actually to gather intelligence, but to send some kind of message and also to see how the US reacts.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

2 questions about the spy balloon…
Was it really too dangerous to shoot it down over fucking Montana? There’s like half a person per square parsec in that state. Makes me think they were worried about dangerous materials on board. (Rank speculation)
The DoD said it didn’t provide any capability the CCP didn’t already have through satellites. Oh really? How do they know? And if that’s true, why did the CCP bother?

Here's a suggestion, how about shooting it down over the Aleutian islands, when it was first spotted? It's even more sparsely populated there than Montana.

Excellent points.
Now, what about the OTHER balloon going over Latin America right now?

Yeah, I was thinking that too.
