Still not understanding. There is a risk that a biological agent could be delivered via a balloon. That is simply a fact. Of course, that is just one of many potential risks. It is a violation of international law for exactly that reason. Even Old Joe shot it down because it posed a security risk (albeit after it had transversed the entire country). No reasonable person would take issue with the balloon posing security risks whether for surveillance or other purpose. I'm not sure why you are so hung up on the balloon. It didn't fly over "Europe" or they would have surrendered and the Chinese government would have restricted your access to the Internet. Maybe not a bad thing.
There is a risk that a biological agent could be delivered via a balloon. That is simply a fact. Just like it is a risk that they would deliver such a biological agent using a flock of seagulls.
It is a violation of international law for exactly that reason. Sure..
No reasonable person would take issue with the balloon posing security risks whether for surveillance or other purpose. And nobody is taking issue with it being a security risk. However, only an unreasonable paranoid person would instantly leap from a spy-balloon (which they said is was and it turned to be) to fearmongering about the balloon being a means to deliver a biological or nuclear weapon.
It didn't fly over "Europe" or they would have surrendered and the Chinese government would have restricted your access to the Internet. Hilarious!
It would be nice for once if you actually knew what you are talking about!
