I mean, it's hard to not laugh hearing any US leader talk about anything related to criticizing another nation's war related actions.... tidy up your own yard before speaking perhaps (ie, Iraq invasion).

Look at US drone airstrikes in foreign territory killing innocent families instead of this distraction.
Far more concerning than a passive balloon.

Somewhat true or am I exaggurating...?
