There's definitely strength in saying "Your balloon is not a concern to us."

- pengaru 4y agoThere's more strength in demonstrating "Hey, do you want this silly balloon back?" after retrieving it without incident at negligible effort/cost. Which is not at all what is occurring. Having flight tracks of multiple refueling tankers demonstrates far more resources have already been expended on this "not a concern to us" than was spent on deploying it...

- bentobean 4y agoYes, but you know what has even more strength? Sending up our own balloon in the shape of a giant ass and blocking its view.
