After a so-called Chinese "spy" balloon drifted over the United States, the reactions of opportunistic politicians and media was to whip up an immense frenzy which resulted in a pretentious show of force as the Biden administration, for little more than political brownie points, opted to shoot it down off the coast of South Carolina. The past few days as such have been oversaturated with theatrical displays of anger, contempt, frenzy, and manufactured outrage, as if a metrological balloon of all things represented a brazen attack on the United States.
