And ya know what?
Compared to what we've been doing for the past few years this balloon is COMICAL!
We have a dedicated spy plane (X-37) that changes orbit, is hard to reach, is supposedly maneuverable in space and has been unchallenged (or so I believe...haven't read otherwise) that we also can assume has been flying with impunity over China.
You don't think China doesn't have anti-sat weapons?
YOU BET YOUR ASS THEY DO!
So will I get upset over a freaking balloon? Nope.
I don't trust the Pentagon or the service chiefs one bit...BUT I DO THINK that they've taken measures to ensure that it isn't carrying any kind of hostile payload so the danger is miniscule.
Super power games means a willingness to play chess not checkers.
Sometimes you have to save your knight to take out a worthy target and not a pawn.
This balloon doesn't rise to the level of a worthy target.
