It's funny because they legit admitted it wasn't a spy balloon months after they blew it up and then waited a while and went back to it after everyone forgot.

Basically everyone I know wholeheartedly believe that the balloon was for espionage purposes.

Biden barely has shit on his resume from the past 4 years and a fuckton of his potential voter base hates him. They're trying everything to increase his chances.

nah the PRC is spying on the US, they're right about that much. but they're spying using satellites and real spies, you know, adult stuff :D

Yeah, I’d be shocked if the U.S. wasn’t also trying to spy on the PRC
