The reality is the US is enabling future espionage by China every moment they let it continue to fly. If you can even call it that, by the fact we're aware and it's still flying. Out of all the counterintel efforts by the US, they weren't prepared for a balloon??

The idea that Communist China has a spy balloon headed towards Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri right now — the home of the Stealth Bomber — is absolutely unbelievable. No American should accept this. I don’t.

For those in Ukraine/Russia jamming Russian mil comms, perhaps it's better not to. It could be better to intercept their messages as they could include important information. Though sometimes ofc it's not as useful because it's short term info. #russia #Ukraine #swl #OSINTUkraine
