If the only goal of the Chinese spy balloon was to embarrass the leaders of America, it worked.
In the video below, the Pentagon’s spokesman give a BS reason for why they are not going to blow the balloon out of the sky.

They are going to leave it up there.
PENTAGON: CCP spy balloon “will probably be over the United States for a few days”
The Biden Administration’s official position on China now is that “minor incursions” on US airspace are ok and will be tolerated.

In a simple post on his social media site, former President Trump was very clear…”Shoot down the balloon!”
In a statement, the DOD said they have prohibited the balloon’s ability to collect information.
“Instances of this kind of balloon activity have been observed previously over the past several years,” the statement continued, though it did not specify when the alleged other incidents took place. “Once the balloon was detected, the U.S. government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information.”
Meanwhile, the balloon has been spotted in Missouri.
We have had several reports across northwest MO of a large balloon visible on the horizon. It is now visible from our office in Pleasant Hill and the KC Metro. We have confirmed that it is not an NWS weather balloon. pic.twitter.com/CKQWOw7God

Perhaps the most damn comment was made by the Border Patrol Union who wrote that the CCP was watching our border more attentively than the President.
China watching our border more closely than the Biden Admin.

While our elected leaders were doing this, the Chinese sent floating spy platforms over our nuclear arsenalpic.twitter.com/GtQPIaXdJp
