So you honestly believe no one thought it was bad to allow the Chinese spy balloon to enter into Canada and United States airspace before it ever got here? If they're advisors are so stupid they recommended allowing this to happen then I question whatever intellect they have to begin with.
Any incursion into a sovereign country, should be viewed as an aggressive action.
lol. The balloon could not have entered Canada and United States air space before it got here. That's a physical impossibility. Try again. The US could only have shot it down if it offered a real threat or, as it so happened, while it was in US airspace.
The rest of your statement is incompressible. It's not clear who "they" are. Chinese or US advisors? In any case, it doesn't matter. There is no dispute that the balloon, whatever it was, violated US airspace. If it was an accident (which I doubt) then no, it should not be viewed as an aggressive action. If it was intentional, then yes, it was an aggressive act and diplomatic sanctions should be considered against China.
Whether or not the balloon entering US airspace was an aggressive action has no bearing on the decision to shoot it down. The decision to leave it alone while it was flying over populated regions was based upon an appropriate assessment of risk. Once there was no risk to people or property, then the decision to shoot it down became the obvious choice. If you want to disagree with that, give us reasons. Your post contained none. Just being fearful or offended is not justification.
Putting people in harm's way, however small the risk, by taking needless actions due to an unreal fear is cowardice. The right has planted their flag on this situation and it is yellow.
Edit
See reply to hotrod, above.
If it was all a big joke, unimportant, and harmless like all the regular Dems posting in here tried to dismiss it as; why did mumbles have it shot down? Why did the Pentagon say it was in fact a surveillance balloon?
Oh and sure enough F-22 FTW
An F-22 Raptor out of Langley Air Force base took the balloon down with a single missile at 2.38pm, separating its surveillance payload and sending it plummeting towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach.
