"Even the thought that China and Russia would collude on the balloon flight is chilling". Why so, NFO? We have made it very clear to these two nations that we are out to destroy them. It's only natural that they seek solace in each other's arms against a common aggressor.

Mostly because RU and CN are playing this smart--putting the pieces in place (overtly, in the finance/trade and geopolitics spheres, and, covertly, with some forms of military cooperation) to defend against and ultimately vanquish an aggressor toward both. All they need to do is defend aggressively, as we continue to embarrass and ultimately wear ourselves out like a flailing child throwing a tantrum. The notion that CN would float a balloon over for us to shoot down as a green light for RU to start blowing AWACS out of the sky is chilling in that they’re so sick of our shit that they’re willing to go fully kinetic rather than sit back and watch us destroy ourselves.
