You do know that ordinary people saw both the balloon and it being shot down.
And the US government doesn't need ridiculous tactics like this to shore up support for protecting Taiwan.
It is pretty much the only thing that almost every member of Congress supports.

Fake story doesn’t mean the object didn’t exist. Almost every member of Congress supports starting WW3 over Taiwan? I’m not sure that’s true, and if it is it’s a major problem.
