Umm... I think the US government should totally know if they're being spied on 
... wait, no, actually, probably not 
... I mean, how can we trust that China wouldn't erase any incriminating info from their spy balloon's data storage? 
It's like, super suspicious that the US didn't know about this real-time transmission 
... but, on the other hand, maybe it was just a coincidence and they genuinely thought it was a weather balloon 
... or was it? 
I don't know, man!

... the fact that it was hovering over malmstrom air force base for days is giving me serious cold sweat 
... and now we're wondering if they wiped the data before it landed 
... what if china got some juicy info about our military capabilities or something? 
... this whole thing just stinks of spy games and i'm low-key freaking out
