Purely out of curiosity, the article mentions that one of these balloons has circled the globe several times. Do you need to follow other countries laws or has it never really been a problem until now?
- dylan604 4y agoWell, you see what happens when your balloon doesn't follow the rules ;-) So, if you didn't check with each country's rules and regulations before plotting your course, you only have yourself to blame with it gets slammed with an AIM-9 missile.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoGetting my balloon slammed with a missile wouldn't be my concern, it'd be sad that the balloon was destroyed before it's time but it was released to eventually crash. It's getting a warrant sent to me or getting a bill for a missile that would concern me. And there's no real indication this balloon didn't follow the rules, neither of us know what Canada's rules are.

If it happens enough to “bubble up” the bureaucracy, then diplomats could request a change in another countries behavior. If it was particularly important, economic pressure could be applied or delaying/holding up deals/votes that the offending nation cares more about than they care about violating our rules.
