Didn't the Japanese Empire do this in WWII?

So we are in WWIII now?

So the fark what? China and the US are spying on each other constantly, with a good number of high-altitude craft known to both--ohhh, hold on. They're trying to drum up public support for a war.

Shiat.

Their balloons had bombs and firestarters (wicked firestarters reportedly) on board, not spy gear.  This is more like what the USA did to the USSR during the cold war.

neat. looks satelliteish

iat's also quite high up so your options are limited and likely to cause collateral damage.

except lasers. this is a perfect time to use one.

You know that more people can get killed with good Intelligence ( gathered by the enemy), than with 1 balloon load of fire bombs, right?

CBS said they told him not to shoot it down cause it might hurt people on the ground...in Montana. Either there is a large cattle lobby paying off the military to keep the cows safe or maybe by "people" they meant "missile silos" lol

Oh, is that why we put so much effort into espionage and surveillance?

That's fairly in your face.

Its not really different than a spy satellite though, just, larger and slower.

The people freaking out are (R) pols taking the opportunity to run a little Red Panic on the rubes. The people who know what the fark they're doing (and fortunately, making the decisions at the moment) have looked into it and said meh.
