My take: This is the proverbial "trial ballon" (full intention). They guage our response to this, which thus far has been, "we see you and you are violating our airspace and we aren't going to do shit".
They then float a few more over us, spaced a week or two apart, maybe even 2 or 3 at a time. We get complacent, they then send the real balloons and set off simultaneous EMPs over the entire US. Much more plausible than a missile delivered EMP. |

Dont care for him much lately but Trump would have shot it down already.

Anyone with balls would have shot it down. Current leadership has no balls.

I almost feel there’s more going on than what’s being disclosed at this point. There’s vast amounts of land in especially populated n Canada and Montana where this could have been shot down with no risk of this landing on a school. What the hell kinda of statement is that.

Quoted: Tell me more. View Quote Don’t want to discuss specifics…..let’s just say that the trainers were most concerned with 2 general scenarios at the time (mid 90s) - dirty bombs and biological / chemical / etiological attacks. We discussed scenarios in which both types of weapons could be deployed, and it scared the shit out of me. I became, what we now refer to, as a “prepper”, after that training. |
