The US is playing exactly into Chinas hands, what have they got to lose by sending barrages of balloons over there? Nothing! By the way Cylindrical objects with no form of propulsion sounds like a helium filled balloon to me. This is basic crap that comes from the WW2 playbook, the US should know better. This is a test, possibly a diversion I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure as hell it’s time to forget niceties and prepare to take on the Commie bastards! History has shown Communism always degenerates into dictatorship time and time again.
