OPINION: If Chinese spy balloon escapes US airspace, get ready for an even bigger disaster
A Chinese spy balloon is now over the central U.S. and will be in U.S. airspace for "a few days," Defense Department press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a briefing Friday.It is bad enough that the Biden administration has allowed ato float unhindered over American soil. Letting it escape at this point would be even worse.
Washington should shoot down the balloon, collect the debris, and exploit the intelligence data before the helium intruder drifts out of reach. News of China’s balloon drifting near ICBM fields in Montana left Pentagon scrambling on Thursday to calm a worried public. Defense officials claimed this intrusion is unlikely to add value to Chinese’s existing collection efforts since they already have space satellites. But if this were indeed the case, then why did China go to the trouble of maneuvering a massive spy balloon over a strategic slice of U.S.
