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.
Sounds like balloons fit those descriptions to me…
