It’s been what - a week or two? Since the first balloon made the news.
Were you hoping the US would react without thinking through their options?
Personally, I want a considered, measured response. We can always add sanctions or start a nuclear war later. Right now it seems important to understand what happened, discuss with other leaders, and figure out a smart response.
But yeah a lot of people just want to escalate every situation.
Agreed. And perhaps given China claims it was an accident, for this incident shooting it down is response enough. Can always choose to escalate further (or not) if/when it happens again.
