Then America just shot down three random balloons for no reason.

Look, we thought the balloons were Chinese spy balloons, but it was confirmed that they were actually most likely tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions.

Meaning the government has disrupted crucial research, which I think the Republicans would have done the same thing (shooting down the aerial objects) but a lot quicker but not caring about the facts.

Nothing to see here. Move along. | GOOD NEWS. THE PRESIDENT TELLS ME THOSE CHINESE BALLOONS WE SHOT DOWN WEREN'T FROM CHINA, BUT LAUNCHED FROM MAR-A-LAGO. WAIT FOR APPLAUSE. | image tagged in joe biden,nothing to see here,move along,chinese,balloons | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Let's see... the government that didn't bother to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon for a week for whatever reason [they wanted to track it for their own spying purposes?] Shoots down 3 other balloons asap using state of the art, half a million dollar missiles and then claims they don't know what these balloons were but they DEFINITELY weren't from China?
They're obviously lying.
How do we know?
China is mad we shot down "civilian weather balloons" [that means they're not civilian weather balloons.]
The military could positively identify them Sunday when they shot em down, but not Monday, when everyone demanded to know what Biden was gonna do about the Chinese invasion of our airspace? Being afraid to upset China means everyone knows they're from China...

"Let's see... the government that didn't bother to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon for a week for whatever reason [they wanted to track it for their own spying purposes?]"

The government left it because they weren't aware of it just like Trump wasn't aware of the balloons that were hovering around America.

"Shoots down 3 other balloons asap using state of the art, half a million dollar missiles and then claims they don't know what these balloons were but they DEFINITELY weren't from China?"

They're still researching, we'll find out where the balloons came from and why they were hovering around the US. It is likely that the balloons came from private companies.

"They're obviously lying.
How do we know?
China is mad we shot down "civilian weather balloons" [that means they're not civilian weather balloons.]"

China was only mad because they claim that the balloons were civilian research airships, and the fact they were blamed for the incident even though there is hardly any evidence to say China sent the balloons.

Don't forget, if the balloons came from Russia and Russia said that the balloons were "civilian weather balloons", then Conservatives would believe Russia any day over Biden.

"The military could positively identify them Sunday when they shot em down, but not Monday, when everyone demanded to know what Biden was gonna do about the Chinese invasion of our airspace? Being afraid to upset China means everyone knows they're from China..."

But if the military upset Russia, then the conservatives would stand for Russia because they don't trust Biden and they don't like Ukraine

Joe Biden | Xi tells me those balloons were harmless. Plus the check to Hunter cleared. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. | image tagged in joe biden | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
If they were Russian, the government would have no trouble admitting it.
They were Chinese military balloons Sunday when we shot em down, now they're civilian weather balloons so Joe can apologize to China without losing his job.
World politics is chess and the US Gov is playing tik tac toe with China. Whether this is because they're terrified of China or simply need China's manufacturing capacity to keep our country running, we don't know...

"If they were Russian, the government would have no trouble admitting it."

No, it would be the same story as right now. But if it was the Trump administration dealing with this and they found out it was Russia that sent the balloons, then unless you have a neocon like Liz Cheney who was in the administration, they would have blamed someone else.

"They were Chinese military balloons Sunday when we shot em down, now they're civilian weather balloons so Joe can apologize to China without losing his job."

Proof?

"World politics is chess and the US Gov is playing tik tac toe with China. Whether this is because they're terrified of China or simply need China's manufacturing capacity to keep our country running, we don't know..."

Yes China is heavily relied on for manufacturing, but what if India's population overtakes China's population?

The only proof you need is that China is pissed and Joe's apologizing to China. If they were civilian weather balloons, China wouldn't give a crap. Do you think the Chinese Gov't cares if the USA shoots down civilian balloons?

That's not enough proof. China was only mad because they were falsely accused of spying America. What do you think would happen if Australia accused America of spying Australia?

"If they were civilian weather balloons, China wouldn't give a crap. Do you think the Chinese Gov't cares if the USA shoots down civilian balloons?"

They only cared because media outlets feared that China had spy balloons

In your scenario:
●Chinese balloons aren't spy balloons but civilian weather balloons, that just so happen to be in US airspace...
●China is retaliating against the US by sanctioning US aviation companies because we "DIDN'T" shoot down their balloons.
●China is threatening to shoot down US drones in the Pacific Ocean because we "DIDN'T" shoot down their balloons.
●When dealing with bad people always ignore what they say and listen to what they do.

"In your scenario:

They're not necessarily from China in the first place, China just got offended because they were accused of doing a crime that they didn't do.

How would you like it if you were accused of something you didn't do?

But there is still every chance China could be involved, but not that likely.

"●China is retaliating against the US by sanctioning US aviation companies because we "DIDN'T" shoot down their balloons."

"China has imposed sanctions on two American defense manufacturers over arms sales to Taiwan, a day after Beijing pledged to take “countermeasures” in response to Washington’s handling of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that entered American airspace and was shot down by US forces earlier this month."

It was a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon according to CNN.

What if Ukraine was accused of having surveillance balloons that entered Russia's airspace?

Then Russia would easily sanction Ukraine.

"●China is threatening to shoot down US drones in the Pacific Ocean because we "DIDN'T" shoot down their balloons. When dealing with bad people always ignore what they say and listen to what they do."

Exactly with what to do with Putin, always ignore what they say and listen to what they do, his words don't add up and actions speak louder than words
