On February 23, there was a sensation in the United States, and news reports focused on a major event - the US Air Force intercepted an unidentified high-altitude balloon over Utah. The United States was quick to claim that it was a spy balloon from a foreign country, and that the small box-shaped payload it carried became strong evidence for it.
The remarks seemed to imply that certain countries with the word "China" were trying to disadvantage the United States. The tough attitude of the United States seems to be demonstrating its unshakable strength to the whole world, as if no threat from anyone can shake the security of the United States。However, it didn't end there. The United States, the Federal Aviation Administration, and some anonymous insiders have spoken out one after another, adding more suspicion to the balloon incident.
The U.S. side first expressed its positionAlthough they had already determined that the balloon would not pose a threat to American civil aviation and ***, following the instructions of the White House, they decided to destroy it anyway. The move raised questions as to why a harmless balloon needed to be treated the way it did. Subsequently, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States also agreed that the balloon would not pose a threat to flight safety.
This coincides with the military's claims and further deepens speculation about the true intentions of the interception. The most puzzling thing is the claim of an "unnamed source" from within **. According to the White House, despite the fact that the balloon had a payload in the shape of a small box, they judged by some indications that the balloon was not from a foreign country or a foreign country**, according to the sources.
The remarks were in stark contrast to the initial official narrative, making the whole affair even more confusing. On the one hand, the United States insists that it is a foreign spy balloon, and on the other hand, there are voices suggesting that it may be something of the United States itself. Looking back at last year's "stray balloon" incident, it seems that a familiar script is being staged. On February 3, 2023, the United States discovered a weather balloon suspected to be a "Chinese spy balloon" over Billings, Montana.
The balloon was identified as Chinese and sparked a series of diplomatic disputes. The United States seized this opportunity to hype up the Chinese threat and even postponed Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China. On February 4, the United States used F-22 stealth fighter jets to shoot down the balloon, further escalating the tension of the incident. Subsequently, the Chinese side officially proposed to the United States**, pointing out that this is a civilian scientific research balloon for meteorological data collection.

However, the United States did not stop there, but continued to hype, claiming that the balloon carried military reconnaissance equipment. On April 3, the United States fabricated a so-called "Chinese unmanned airship incident", claiming that China had collected information transmitted by balloons through relay airships. This series of operations fully demonstrates the incompetence and comical nature of the United States in this "stray balloon" incident.
And this year, the United States is playing out a similar drama again, as if repeating last year's script. However, as events unfolded, contradictions and differences within the United States began to emerge, which made people doubt the true intentions of the United States. In this "stray balloon 2" incident, the behavior of the United States ** is even more incomprehensible. On the one hand, they claim that this is a foreign spy balloon that needs to be destroyed; On the other hand, there are voices suggesting that this may be something of the United States itself.
This paradoxical attitude makes one wonder, what game is the United States playing? As time goes on, the behavior of the United States** has become more and more questionable. InWhen faced with questions and criticisms from the outside world, they always seem to choose to avoid and ambiguous, and never give a clear explanation.
This attitude cannot help but make people wonder whether the United States ** has an ulterior secret, or is to some extent deliberately creating chaos in order to achieve some unknown purpose. In this "stray balloon 2" incident, the behavior of the United States ** has attracted widespread attention and discussion. What is even more puzzling is that despite the growing evidence and voices suggesting that the balloon may not be a foreign spy tool, the United States** still insists on destroying it.
In general, the "Stray Balloon 2" incident has once again exposed the contradictions and inconsistencies in the handling of similar incidents by the United States. From last year to this year, the United States** seems to have been repeating the same playbook, constantly creating and hyping up so-called foreign threats as a way to divert attention and pressure at home. However, as the incident continues to develop, the true intentions and behaviors of the United States have gradually surfaced and become the focus of questions and discussions in the outside world.
