Chang: China Is Preparing To Go To War

[motokelowna1]

Where were our politicians when it was flying over Canada?

Well considering Canada has nothing that China would even care about then why worry about a balloon?

Canada's F18's could not get that high anyway. Needs more spare parts from Australia ..

Maybe not but the Pilots can...

Timber.
Diamond mines.
Mineral resources.
Water.
Agricultural land.
Wilderness.
Bears.
Infrastructure to get it all over to China.

Consider that a good portion of our oil industry is owned by Chinese conglomerates

They just have to ask Justin for that info and he will give it gladly!

I meant more on the Military side of things.

White House says a second 'high altitude object' shot down over Alaska

My gut feeling is all the uncertainty could have been avoided. I'm sure "they" know exactly what it was and where it was in terms of altitude.

A complete aside, but in terms how "uncertain" our atmosphere can be, and to give the casual observer an idea of how it is talked about it in very general terms, yesterday the tropopause folded over Mt Washington, New Hampshire. At a mere 5000 ft it was in the stratosphere for a brief period of time.

It looked like this... https://twitter.com/i/status/1621598650022363142 (In case anyone is wondering how to dress for a nuclear winter...)

My guess...It was launched out of a sub within 200nm of the coast. Probably got close intel on how well hardened the 150 icbm silos at Malmstrom are. Gotta know if the CEP on your reentry vehicles is going to work or not.

Nothing showing on ADS-B, they learned a lesson in how to not be tracked by the public apparently.

Splash three. Like the kids say... FAFO!

My only guess... this song is going to make a brief comeback. I'm not saying it should...

Apparently last two objects that have been shot down including this one in the afternoon today were not balloons.

Speculating that the mysterious object on Friday morning has anything to do with what is going on...

This is kinda crazy!
