How is it that the White House can’t explain Chinese balloons? We are one of the most powerful nations on earth, and these idiots shoot the balloons down over water or some god-forsaken remote area and then do not put in the resources to explain what is going on. While I understand there will likely never be releasable pictures, they need to come forth with the truth, but they do not want to upset the apple cart and play a game of cat and mouse. Sadly, we are the mouse, and the Chinese government is laughing and celebrating our stupidity.
