Making anglo North Americans even more paranoid and racist, getting them hyped for a war with China? Distract people from actually terrible things like the poisoned town in Ohio, increasing effects of climate change, our bleak present and even bleaker future? Is China just trolling the US and Canada? Aliens? What is going on lol
Oh yeah shooting down an unidentified target is completely, utterly deranged behavior, especially when it's at an altitude where they could just fly over and look at it.
