NEW: Defense officials tell @JenGriffinFNC that the balloon over MT has not exploded and was not shot down by the U.S military. Videos purporting to show the balloon exploding are not real.

we already look weak and incompetent.

What other people around the world who aren't a bunch of quivering nancies see:

When the US military projects power abroad, governments topple within weeks. When Putin invades his neighbor, it's a year on and he still hasn't gotten anywhere.

Even if you see the United States of America as weak and ineffectual because you don't like the party the man in charge belongs to, we're still the big dogs on this block - and everyone else knows it.

Don't be so scared.
