US worry about defending Taiwan, helping Ukraine, and other overseas conflicts but have utterly ignored securing its own homeland's airspace.

Continental US airspace is massive and incredibly expensive to secure. Just look at the challenges the USSR faced during the Cold War. If US enemies can instill a multi-directional threat towards the North American continent and force massive buildup of AA there (to protect from, say, missiles in Cuba), they'll bleed out US defense resources easily. Attack from the North is difficult with Canada as a buffer, but plenty of states to threaten national security from the US South and Southeast.

Because the talks will be all about reducing China's warheads and "guard rails" ie questioning the need for more weapons, US talk with "forked" tongue as our native brothers and sisters have said.

As long as Russia remains as a player. They are going to insist China either cuts to 750 nukes with Russia having the other 750 while they keep 1500. They are not going to sign any agreements unless China handicaps themselves severely because Russia already has a lot of nukes.
It's the Americans that wanted a discussion. China should make clear its reasonable terms, if nothing else, just to force Americans to reject it and exposing them for creating a nuclear arms race.

What Russia does is in theory Russia's own concern, but if there is a preliminary agreement reached to downsize oversized nuclear arsenals, then China can surely make the Kremlin also gradually go down to a nuclear cap of 1500.

That is an American political problem.

That is an American PR problem.

The reason why President Trump got elected in the first place.

The fake news US media and the feckless US politicians that feed it.

If the balloon had explosives, best to shoot it down immediately than to let it pick any target it wanted to.

This is the problem I feel, and why it is more annoying to Americans than people like me outside of America.

The American politician and their media, think of China as second rate, and kind of dumb. American politician and their media, think of Americans are even lower than that, that they will believe anything.

They elected Trump, out of frustration. Then they elected a senile guy.

And we all know what will happen.

Western Media Headlines: GYNA REJECTS PEACEFUL OFFER FROM THE US TO DENUCLEARIZE. WORLD HEADING TOWARDS NUCLEAR WAR BY 2025 BECAUSE OF GYNA.

Then you guys are going to complain for the next 50 pages about why did China even bother going in the first place and how terrible the PR department is.

What Russia does is in theory Russia's own concern, but if there is a preliminary agreement reached to downsize oversized nuclear arsenals, then China can surely make the Kremlin also gradually go down to a nuclear cap of 1500.

I don’t think the issue is trying to convince the Russians to have a 1500 nuclear cap. It’s convincing the Americans they should accept a 1500 cap. They are not going to accept allowing the Russians and Chinese to have more nuclear warheads combined than them.

Even the senior vice president of CSIS doesn't think it makes much sense for China to use a balloon for spying.

In some aspects, China is 10x greater than Japan in scale. Now you understand why the US is in such a hurry to manufacture anti-China consent.
