So on Jan 27th General Minihan tells the troops war with China is coming in 2 years and coincidentally there is a Chinese Spy balloon discovered over US territory on Jan 28th. Does anyone remember the movie "Wag the Dog". I always thought it was a documentary not satire. But then what do I know? I also believe the movie Idiocracy was prophesy not comedy.Nothing to see here. It was a naturally occurring balloon, built by bats, in a wet-market, in Wuhan. The best thing about being a conspiracy theorist, is not developing strange giant blood clots and myocarditis.
I had to laugh at a comment on Reddit, "Why would they send spy balloons when they have TikTok?"Nothing to see here.
Not to mention AIO systems sending your energy usage to their servers. LOL.I had to laugh at a comment on Reddit, "Why would they send spy balloons when they have TikTok?"
You know I said why don't they just pop a little hole in it so it drifts slowly to the ground.Quite disappointed in the military. Seems like a grandstanding action to use a half million dollar missile to destroy everything when a small projectile could have just put a hole in the balloon. Maybe they just don't have any planes that still have a cannon since dog fights are a thing of the past. So, they blew it up and there is nothing but junk to study. Funny how low tech defeats high tech. Just ask Russia.
Nothing about this balloon story makes any sense. I suspect it is a distraction from what's in the other hand.Quite disappointed in the military.

I was thinking the same thing and then I remembered it was at something like 50,000 feet and I don't know if we have anything simple to pop a hole in something that high other than some kind of rocket or missile. The U2 used to fly that high but it did not have any armaments because the theory was nothing could reach it. That is until the Russians finally did have some kind of rocket that could go that high.You know I said why don't they just pop a little hole in it so it drifts slowly to the ground.
This is what supposedly shot it down over the Atlantic. Service ceiling of 50k and armed with 20mm Gatling gun. Supposedly, the balloon entered US airspace in the Aleutians (one of the most monitored areas in the US). Why did it get across AK and Canada before a civilian finally noticed it in Montana? Fishy shit going on.I was thinking the same thing and then I remembered it was at something like 50,000 feet and I don't know if we have anything simple to pop a hole in something that high other than some kind of rocket or missile.

He’s so oldWe have a weak puppet with dementia installed in office (you really think the giy who couldn't fill a high school gym, and lost all but one bellwether actually got a record number of votes? C'mon man...). He's at the behest of someone. Maybe China. Maybe someone else. Definitely not someone with our best interests in mind.
Exactly! Perhaps no one leading our military has any brains. We had days to figure a way to safely capture a balloon and bring it down. Perhaps we should have asked Elon to capture it. Or perhaps our military has the ability to bring it down in one piece but there is some reason that we destroyed it - what are we hiding?You know I said why don't they just pop a little hole in it so it drifts slowly to the ground.
Probably would take thousands of small holes to get it to come down intactExactly! Perhaps no one leading our military has any brains.

In any case, our leaders seem like a bunch of morons!
Yes, I remember Eisenhower having to admit that it was a reconnaissance flight. A documentary I recently saw said that was the end of the CIA use of plausible deniability. I did not know Powers was supposed to take a suicide pill.Remember Gary powers failed to blow up his U2 and take his suicide pill
It was a fiasco….
