I broadly agree with you except for the spy balloon thing - the US didn't shoot first second and third and ask questions later, the US let it fly over the entire country. Only once the totally harmless balloon had been amped up in the media as a yellow peril foreign threat did the US shoot it down.
Yeah the US reaction to the balloon says very little about their defence policy and a whole lot about their propaganda policy and how complicit the army is in it.
Fair enough. I meant more broadly how they used it as an excuse to ratchet up tensions with China. Blinken cancelling his trip to China specifically over the balloon and the subsequent shooting down weather balloons.
