A politicized balloon farce

After the U.S. shot down a Chinese civilian meteorological airship that had entered U.S. airspace due to force majeure, the U.S. military proceeded to shoot down more small balloons. American media frequently hyped a supposed link between these unidentified high-altitude objects and China. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden even questioned the White House decision to expend $400,000 missiles on $12 balloons. The overreaction not only caused an international sensation, but also revealed the ridiculousness of America's hyper-aggressive but politically-correct policies toward China.
