Ah so you are specifically talking abou the Balloon now... Okay...


IMHO The ccp had been doing this for several years and was starting to get comfortable increasing the size of balloons as the technology for miniaturizing equipment increased. In addition there are several forms of spying on surfaces, one of them probably consists of making very long observations and building a database with many strategic observation potentials. Finally, it is necessary to note a research work in this sector (I remember the year: 2018):

So drawing from all that, the US was right to destroy the balloons and Russia is right to destroy the drone. maybe ? please ?

"no ferdia, lets keep scouting around russia, lets install missiles all around russia, what could possibly go wrong".

We don't know exactly where the accident happened and where the drone was downed. The current claimed territory seems to be claimed as follows by Russia:



Previous drone accidents happened around this pattern. Seems to be infringing on Russian territory, but I dont know how accurate my maps are.

Given recent accusations that US/ OSCE/ NATO are assisting Ukraine in guiding their artillery/missiles strikes and are sharing intelligence on Russian comms/forces - it seems quite reasonable response to try to counteract this threat by Russians.

right out of the china playbook on taiwan. but then china are known to steal US ideas so its fair for the US to do the same. let see where that gets us with Russia and China. Great inheritance for our kids.

There's clearly a difference. Why do i have to write it again ? violation of international law
The balloon vas over us territory since long time (and was not the first), while the drone was in international space.

"Claimed" ... vs international laws.

Russia claims it was over their territory and their claim is as good as any at this point.

Wanting russia to do more safe jobs. In a war.

You keep referring to these mysterious international laws. What are those exactly?

Here is a good one for you since you ignored my previous comment:

you should accept that its not safe to preach about violations of international law. Also, that drone had no business being where it was, on the far side of the planet, that close to Russia, international air space or not, while there is war in ukraine. the black sea is literally a contested area. Now everyone knows the US has military capabilities in virtually every country on the planet, but it seriously DOES NOT NEED to go to war with Russia.
