First of all, I doubt that’s the kind of balloon that was carrying trash.
Secondly, spy balloons were a thing back in the 1950s because satellites didn’t exist yet. No one would use a balloon for warfare these days, because you can’t steer a balloon.
What even is your point? If you think Washington was justified in freaking out over a weather balloon but Pyongyang was not justified in freaking out over frickin’ drones, you’re not making sense.
I’m not sure why what it was in response to matters. If a drone over another country’s land is an invasion, so are a bunch of balloons full of trash.
What’s the difference?
You don’t see the difference between a drone and a balloon?
A drone is a weapon of war. A drone can collect surveillance, or even deliver a payload to a target.
But even if you want to consider a balloon an invasion, the South still invaded first when it aerial dropped propaganda.
Sounds like balloons fit those descriptions to me…
