-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Experts See a Sign from China.
Experts in reading tea leaves.
Balloon hysteria 2.0 better have a jet shoot down one with it's machine gun, let's see some flying skill.
Pops and then gets sucked into the engine causing damage and forcing the pilot to eject
Would be p. funny
So they're really going to pull this chestnut back out of the fire?
It generated a ton of clicks, so they'll probably be trying to run a "China balloon" story every six months for a decade at least.
Watch out, it's calculatedly ambiguous!
What's that saying? "Once is enemy activity, twice is enemy activity and three times is enemy activity?"
These articles just make me mad. Of course none of us are going to care about a weather balloon from Mainland China flying over. We do not have the same level of hysteria that Americans do with silly things like that.
I hate the Chinese balloon stories with every fiber of my being. The fact that so many people lose their mind over them makes me lose hope in humanity every time a new story comes out.
