Chinese spy balloon

[timelapse]

America and Japan were legally at war at the time of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

But edge lords need to edge lord I guess.

America alone used them to mass murder people

You really want to justify dropping nukes?
Meanwhile also your beloved America: "How can we win the war if there isn't any?"

I just did. Pay attention.

There was no data actually supporting the estimated damage of a nuke because it was the first time it was done in modern times.

Yes, there was. I have seen the 1940s estimates based on blast radius and fallout half life compared to population density of targeted sites.

What I offered you included the people that died decades later from radiation poisoning.

I find it peculiar that you fail to recognize that Japan was responsible for 3× as many deaths from the invasion of China than can be attributed to all deaths caused by Nazi Germany throughout WWII.

Tell me about the death toll caused by US ally the great Winston Churchill

"no data actually supporting the estimated damage" is just BS.

Had a nuke ever been dropped before?
Empirical evidence is a thing you know.

You really don't know what you're talking about, do you?

[paid_influencer]

back to the OP...

hopefully they release another one over t&t.

[Dizzy28]

Prior to gun powder guns were never used
Prior to industrial chlorine production gas wasn't used
Prior to the industrial revolution ships of the line were made of wood not steel

Once technology is discovered that have war purposes weapons are inevitable.

Maybe you preferred the Germans got the A Bomb first though. They were after all the first to do nuclear fission and were also attempting to construct an A bomb. Had they been more resource rich than America we might have been all been speaking German

whats the difference between a weather balloon and a spy balloon

china said it is a weather balloon and i believe them

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64514120

[pugboy]

the yankees have been suspecting china doing weather manipulation a while too
mind you the yankees prob dabbling same way

[paid_influencer]

yup. climate change is the new war zone

wars will be faught over fresh water

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2021 ... ewing-wars

[pugboy]

they probably can only measure those weather specific metrics with a balloon inside the actual area
not from a much higher satellite remotely

[paid_influencer]

yup. those of us in the know are aware that climate change is the real danger. its gonna kill all of us except for a few very specific parts of the world that remain habitable and comfortable

[pugboy]

we feeling effects of climate change strong, a good few years now

the countries with big populations at risk and have the power will look after their interests for sure
they not gonna sit and watch things go downhill

[viedcht]

Dat mebbe pass, gone, come back, U-turn to Caracas, swing back, gone again, make ah pull down Sando hill, make ah 180 and gone check out Paula, the Stage, press across tuh maracas, get some lead over the lady young, drift down to Grande...

Operation paperclip poached the German scientists.I actually preferred that nobody got nuked.Bombs from the sky is a real fassy man way to fight

Something bout this story not making sense.
Why shoot down the baloon when im sure they have the tech to have brought it down without having to shoot it down?
Surely they could have ascertained if it was a weather baloon or a spy baloon, this just not making sense.

Optics and posturing.
Look at the amount of news stories about it.

[Dizzy28]

Saw a post ..supposedly the mission to shoot down the ballon cost US$10m so regardless of what China gets the last laugh.
The cost of the flight time of the F22 and its missile

And apparently this happened quite a few times in the past few years, including 2 times under Trump.
It was diplomatic cold war games USA was playing because of the scheduled Secretary of State China visit.
USA sharpening their teeth and glad that they have another superpower to play games with since 1991.

USA protests over an incident that happens and not controlled, throw in some propaganda to the press.
China complains, even though they would also shoot down anything in their airspace under 100 km.
USA finally reacts with military bravado when it's over the ocean... dunno what they were doing all over Montana to Kansas.
China cries how it so unfair and USA rah rah rah.
Tensions heighten while superpowers lean down to dick-stroke each other. It's the old human conflict game. USA played it a lot with USSR, and Russia these days eh cutting it.

NATO requires every pilot to log 180 hours per year. Aerial drones used for targeting practice using AA missiles cost US$300,000 and up.

A USAF pilot just logged a kill against an enemy target in US airspace. His picture will be in US Defense Times.

[maj. tom]

Had to hit up the tabloids for more info on a report from CNN, but apparently another balloon has been sighted drifting over Costa Rica then Cartagena, Colombia, and then Maracaibo, Venezuela.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11715291/Colombia-releases-details-second-Chinese-spy-balloon-hovering-Latin-America.html This is tabloid nonsense eh, so all the speculation here is to sell ads.

So OP title might not be so far-fetched!

The amount of time dem UAP pass as well is ah shame to dem military installations.

I agree seems very suspicious that they announced this, obvious both countries spy on each a lot, why was this made public?

Think they need people to see China as the enemy right now, probably in the event they need public support for sending so much resources to Taiwan if China invades.

[SuperiorMan]

There's another one floating over South Korea apparently.

[Ueli]

Why would they put Chinese writing on a spy balloon? USA did this.

[Dizzy28]

Why have the Chinese gotten their panties in a bunch from it's shoot down then?

Balloon reported to be size of 20 story building and payload was size and weight of medium size jet liner

For what was spent they could of sent up men in a high altitude blimp to board it and bring it down whole.

[aaron17]

ufo-logists were probably saying aha! when that was crossing the globe
