I hope we have more who are resolved to not treat an entire country as an enemy based on no evidence at all

You have to be blind to modern geopolitics to say there’s no evidence at all

Evidence:

1. One balloon with something attached to it

2. In American airspace

3. The US government, that has a long, rich history of lying, said some things

We have nothing else to go off of. We have no reason to trust statements by the US government of these situations.

Look what we have here. US admitted it has zero link to Chinese espionage at all:

Thank god we had two weeks of deranged, rabid reporting about China being evil

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
