minus-squareHomerianSymphony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 hour ago 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.
