Exercising the will of the people. Can’t complain

What are you on about? I'm pretty sure the will of the people would be to shoot down the Chinese "weather balloon" on the Pacific side of the continent. Not the Atlantic after it crossed all the way over. Am I officially not allowed to complain anymore like it's the Soviet Union? I missed that memo.

The people did not know about it then and therefore could not let their will be known

And you don't see a problem with that? The whole point of democracy is we get to judge if the elected leaders are doing a good job or not. And some guy in Montana spotting a hostile aircraft before NORAD does is a problem. Or if they saw it coming and did nothing, I'm not sure which is worse. The bottom is anyone with critical thinking can see plenty to complain about here.

There are many things the government doesn’t make public in order to not reveal intel capabilities to adversaries.

Are you aware of the progress of Russian hypersonic missile developments or Iran’s nuclear program? Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
