Send in 30,000 balloons and let the west run out of missiles, then send in the fighter jets.
Could work

It was a NORAD plane that shot the Yukon balloon down.
A fellow I listened to on a documentary explained that NORAD does not identify as American or Canadian. They are the North American Aerospace Defense Command whose mandate is to protect North America as a whole. That is why they can shoot down things over either country in North America. They set the tone and the orders. Not the US or Canada as individual countries.
It's interesting that during the second world war there were incendiary balloons drifting over Alberta known as Fu Gos. Many of them carried four 4.5kg incendiaries and one 15kg explosive. The Japanese hoped to start forest fires in western Canada as a diversion.
Nothing saying these recent balloons didn't have diabolical plans.

Now they are shooting down kites? "The object President Biden ordered shot down over Lake Huron on Sunday was described as "octagonal" in shape with strings hanging off, flying at roughly 20,000 feet. U.S. military officials had stated that the craft have no discernable propulsion systems".

Mork?
WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force general overseeing North American airspace said on Sunday after a series of shoot-downs of unidentified objects that he would not rule out aliens or any other explanation yet, deferring to U.S. intelligence experts.
Asked whether he had ruled out an extraterrestrial origin for three airborne objects shot down by U.S. warplanes in as many days, General Glen VanHerck said: "I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven't ruled out anything."

In an interview on MSNBC Sunday, WH Press Secretary Jean-Pierre was asked pointedly, "Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?" Her response: "Because it's part of uh NORAD. The NORAD is uh part of like a, uh part of a, it's a – it's uh what you call a coalition and so that's why we were able to do that. Again, we didn't do it on our own, we did it in uh – in uh clearly, in uh, in step with Canadia – Canada," she said. (Does Trudeau write her speeches).

Maybe it's all just smoke and mirrors to distract people from realizing the governments murdered millions with their covid policies/shots.

Recent developments severely dampen local economies.

Balloon costs about $100,000. Jet fighter, missiles, maintenance etc. about $2 Million according to a guy who did the math. (No not me)
