They are quite capable of doing what they claim; they also may well be lying. Now you can choose to believe the one that make you feel better, lol

Look who's taking bud. I should say the same for you regarding Chinese MFA statements as well.

And whether they are truly capable as you claim. Well only time will tell. I wonder why they didn't shot it down in Alaska when it was supposedly discovered ? Why spend all that time tracking and applying electronic jamming ? Sounds like they were trying to save face.

Balloon drooped 10,000 meters when it reached coastline.

You are talking about yourself? "choose to believe the one that make you feel better"
The rest of us will keep the "lol".

It could be, vertical air flow is created at the boundary of hot and cold land and sea surfaces. The coastline is the best place.

A couple of thoughts on the balloon.

If it was a spy balloon, its mission was completed by the time it was shot down. Shooting it down was a pointless and unnecessary waste of money.

Also, if the US knew about this "gross violation of its sovereignty" on 28th January, why did Blinken wait until yesterday to cancel his trip to China?

With each day that passes, I become more convinced that the US is becoming India. Everything the US has done during its hilarious balloon tantrum is exactly what India would have done. The only difference is that India would have shot down a bunch of its own assets trying to shoot down the balloon, so the US does still maintain a modicum of military competence.

It's such similar predictive behaviour, i'm convinced there's something in the genetic memory of Indo-European homo sapiens that makes them gullible and susceptible to loquacious BS artists- maybe religious god kings had to use BS to keep order. It's actually very striking to the Galwan incident where indian media made stuff up to suit their paranoid narrative.

In the meantime, American neocons furiously cry that they are the king and no one better touch them.

I'm not going to read some WSJ opinion writer's deranged rambling, but I will dismiss his asinine comparison with a simple question: What percentage of world GDP were Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan and what's China's percentage today?

It was Kagan.

Once we see that name, then that was all we need to know.

I didn't even get as far as the name. All I needed was "WSJ opinion."
