MNE dispatched its roving reporter to the Atlantic coast today to cover the shoot down of the China spy balloon here is the footage:
Our reporter on the scene heard 2 explosions… This may have been an initial miss:
Then this might have been the hit:
1 points to the China spy balloon and might be the location of the hit … 2 might be the area of an initial miss… and 3 is the interceptor aircraft exiting the space to the south…
MNE can report we last saw it deflated and falling slowly towards the ocean right off South Carolina coast…hopefully the US Navy can fish it out and we can figure out what it was doing…
It was looking for precious bodily fluids...
ReplyDeleteSlow news day.
ReplyDeleteVery strange story.. There's likely nothing it'd see that their satellites can't already see, or that you can't already see on google earth for that matter. Hell, most of the gps coordinates of our missile silos are publicly known (I'm sure there some secret places not publicly known). And it's obvious that we'd detect a balloon... So that must mean China wanted us to see it and cause a commotion. Just a really bizarre story.
ReplyDeleteIMO a better chance that the balloon is rather benign than a primary spy device. But the whole scenario does give China an opportunity to observe our reactions. Militarily, technologically and politically.
ReplyDeleteThis war is over by the end of this year, maybe before the Autumn. Putin's popularity will depend on how it finishes and if the Russian people feel let down or not by the outcome. Basically, what the peace looks like after everything that has happened and all things have been considered. By now, many Russians have their own ideas what peace should look like. It's not going to be easy for Putin to balance out those expectations.
