  Which goes to show that the fucking balloon is not a big deal in the first place. It is only a big deal because the US admin wanted to make it a big deal. We're all surveilling each other all the time. They played it up because they wanted a spectacle to support their hawkish posturing on China.
context: “They are only good at cheating in elections, and disinformation — and now they are putting out that a Balloon was put up by China during the Trump Administration, in order to take the ‘heat’ off the slow moving Biden fools. China had too much respect for ‘TRUMP’ for this to have happened, and it NEVER did. JUST FAKE DISINFORMATION!” he added, without providing any evidence for his claims.
  
  He used a lot of caps, so it must be true. /s >
  
  Is "FAKE DISINFORMATION"....just real information? >
  
  Seemingly. >
  
  Any briefing of Trump on those incidents would have undoubtedly ended with Trump mocking the national security staffer for talking about something so weak as a balloon, and that Trump used a helicopter on The Apprentice, and that it had higher ratings because of him using a helicopter. >
  
  and he's talking about a Balloon, can you believe it, "Sir, we have an Emergency," I said what is it General, "it's a Balloon, Sir, sent over from China," a Balloon. so China, they're sending things, and they're not very good things but we have bigger things and those bigger things are going to make sure that we don't have any problems.  we have Air Force Jets and Beautiful Helicopters, and they're sending Balloons, give me a break.  you know all we would have to do, and I did it on The Apprentice, we already had Top Ratings, we were the Highest Rated Show in Television History just so you understand, and then I brought in the Trump Helicopter, very famous, very very good in terms of Helicopters, and then we went even bigger, our Ratings were over 100%, I had people calling me all the time, begging, "please, Sir, can we be on your show?" I said we'll see what happens. >
  
  Thanks for that; I forgot what it was like to have my brain try to eat itself >
  
  Funny how GOPers didn't seem to give two shits until Biden actually shoot one of these spy crafts down. >
  
  They still don't. Just showed this to someone and they said, that's a lie. Anything good about Trump is true, anything bad is a lie. I've never seen so many bend over backwards for such a sniveling whining loon. >
  
  Ignoring a ‘that’s a lie!’ text response in my inbox right now. >
  
  Damn you know you hit a nerve when the trump-bots swarm in to cast doubt >
  
  And instead of being consistent they want to investigate why anyone is disclosing military secrets as propaganda. >
  
  What did Humpty Dumpty Trumpy do - NOTHING. This is the guy that said he would be tough and now we are finding out he’s a big pussy unlike what Lara Graham from FoxNews said of Trumpy, another opinion disproved about Trumpy and Lara Graham doesn’t know what she’s talking about. YOU ARE FIRED! FIRED! >
  
  So you are using one situation and defining him based on that. Smart >
  
  They won't talk about details and it didn't transit the entire nation visible to everyone from the ground and reported on for days.  This is just grasping at straws, it's a lost cause.
  A better plan is to just own the decision and explain why it was correct.  Which shouldn't be hard.  Missile silos aren't secret, I can see them clearly on Google Maps (even with streetview in a few cases).  Anything the military actually cares about keeping secret is covered by default, not when they think there might be a threat of observation.
