While some are saying that the balloon saga is just a cover, with UFOs being thought to keep the sheeple from thinking to hard about other things that they should be thinking about, like World War III, there is a take that the Chinese balloons are a part of the Chinese war strategy, part of the “long game,” to invade Taiwan, reunify, then conquer the world. China has experimented carrying nuclear weapons on balloons. While the cat is out of the bag now, that the US shoots down whatever enters its air space, one theory is that the CPP will send a innocent manned weather balloon, that the US shoots down creating a bleeding heart incident. Shamed, the US allows all sorts of junk to float over, until an EMP device ends our woke misery.
Of course, the correct response to this is exactly what China would do: say, too bad, they should not haver invaded US air space, and keep firing. But, in a weak culture, this will not occur.
