Sometimes you need something so absurd as a balloon to warm people up to being willing to see all of the hard truths that they convince themselves aren't real. Consider all of those who doubted that tik tok was Chinese spyware. Now they see a balloon and think, shoot maybe they are spying on us... baby steps into finally grasping the reality of how our own government spies on us.
Quite brilliant strategy actually. I highly doubt the Chinese would be so stupid to let a balloon "slip" into our airspace. Whoever put it there, did it intentionally.
