Unhappy Hot-Red Bags Of Air

2-13-2023

THEY SEND UP THEIR BAGS OF HOT AIR, AND WE SHOOT THEM DOWN WITH OUR F-22s - “Now Go Figure?”

We know (or at least suspect by now), who is launching these balloons over our heads, so the only questions remaining now is, “Who (and what) are we now shooting at (Balloon-Wise), what are they trying to do to us, what is their end-game, how far up their chain of command does this indigent fiasco go, how deadly is their intent, and last - will it get worst, “And where (and how) will it end?”

As for me, I find it a bit puzzling that “Our Nation” (the greatest of all international powers), is now under potential siege by “Some Gas-Bag Powered Entity” that is apparently benign (Thus Far), but is proving to (at least) be relentless – “And Foolish As Well!!”

“So where is our military while all of this is going on”, outside of proving its ability to knock-down each (and every) intruder that has (thus-far) invaded our sovereign air space?” And it certainly appears to me that (by now) we would have some idea of “who this culprit really is”, what is its intent, how dangerous is its technology and science and how far is our government and just how far our own military is willing to allow this nonsense to progress - before we finally come clean and inform the public, as to just what in the ‘Hell’ is really taking place, within “Our Not So Secure” (and friendless) skies??

Or is “Our Gallant and Technologically Superior Nation” genuinely so vulnerable and potentially impotent to-hostile-incursions such as this? And have we really no way of knowing from whence these balloons came, what their intentions were and just what in the ‘Hell” they are up to – until alas, it is just too damn late for us to do anything about it? “Two Things” however, are definitely a given – #1: These “High-Flying Sky-Invaders” have absolutely no (friendly) right to intrude into our sovereign airspace! And # 2: Just why in “The Name of Hades” are we allowing this B.S. to continue on – unchallenged, undeterred and unchecked?

Exclamation Update: China Inflates Balloon Tensions by Doubling Down on U.S. Overflight Claim

Update: China Inflates Balloon Tensions by Doubling Down on U.S. Overflight Claim

China is doubling down on the claim that American balloons have overflown its airspace without permission despite a series of flat-out denials by senior officials in the United States.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, said at a press briefing on Tuesday that high-altitude balloons released from the continental U.S. for "ongoing global circumnavigation" illegally entered China's airspace and also overflew other nations "at least more than 10 times" since May 2022.

A day earlier, Wang said the 10-time figure was applicable from January 2022. He offered no additional details about the alleged operations or the nature of the craft—whether military or civilian—and didn't disclose whether Beijing lodged demarches with Washington in response.

Asked about China's photographic or other evidence, Wang said: "The U.S. needs to fully look into this and give China an explanation."

On February 14, 2023, Wang accused the United States of overflying China’s airspace with more than 10 high-altitude balloons since May 2022, a claim U.S. officials have strenuously denied.

The shocking discovery of the Chinese-claimed craft over North American airspace, which Beijing said was accidentally infringed upon by an errant weather balloon, all but derailed both governments' hopes for consistent high-level dialogue.

China reacted angrily after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed his visit to Beijing, while the White House said the Chinese military "is not interested" in speaking to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, whose department ultimately could be responsible for disclosing the Pentagon's findings to the American public.

Wendy Sherman, the U.S. deputy secretary of state, was unequivocal when asked about the Chinese counterclaim on Monday. The American diplomat said, "there are no U.S. government balloons over the People's Republic of China—none, zero, period."

Washington was "absolutely confident" that the Chinese balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina earlier this month was "a surveillance apparatus," Sherman said.

Earlier Monday, a State Department spokesperson told Newsweek China was "scrambling to do damage control."

"It has repeatedly and wrongly claimed the surveillance balloon it sent over the United States was a weather balloon and to this day has failed to offer any credible explanations for its intrusion into our airspace and the airspace of others," they said in a statement.

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, speaking at the White House on the same day, said the U.S. was "not flying surveillance balloons over China."

"There is no U.S. surveillance aircraft in Chinese airspace," he said.

Operations to salvage the Chinese high-altitude balloon and its payload—the size of three busses—was still ongoing, said Kirby. "There is no question in our minds that that system was designed to surveil, that that was an intelligence asset."

"Now, in light of the Chinese balloon program," Kirby said, closer examination of U.S. and Canadian airspace by NORAD may partly explain the detection of three as yet unidentified flying objects shot down by American fighter aircraft in recent days.

Unlike the spy balloon downed in shallower Atlantic waters on February 4, the three additional UFOs fell in "pretty remote terrain—ice, wilderness, all of that—making it difficult to find them in winter weather," he said. The one shot down over Lake Huron "now lies in what is probably very deep water."

China has repeatedly called the U.S. decision to shoot down its balloon an overreaction. It also has described the additional shoot-downs along the same lines.

"The U.S. needs to be careful not to pull a muscle while flexing so hard," said Wang.

Personal note: They didn't deny those were theirs. All they are doing is scaling
up the turmoil between the two countries. I'm afraid war is on the near horizon.
-
When it come's it will be swift and many - how ready are we for such an event
and how many will impact the US and how many will be knocked off before
entry?
-
[NOTE: It's going to get real ugly - SOON - unless cooler heads step up and
in and get this under control! An exchange of nukes will not favor neither side
and in turn kill millions of people who didn't deserve such an ending.]
-
It's a disgrace to both countries to put the world's people in such jeopardy!
Just imagine what you two could have accomplished - if you both worked
together to improve our world - rather than destroy it!
-
As for the little Fat Man in North Korea - you will also be a target as well
so much for you're fancy attitudes when the real deal come's your way as
well - you had better get your shit together as well - because the
END OF DAYS is on the horizon - and you will also feel the heat as your
flesh will boil - and the radiation will kill the rest of you - and yours -
do you get the picture? Their are "NO WINNERS"! in nuclear war!
-
Now Guy's it's the time to put these toys away before we all meet and
greet - THE GRIM REAPER! This is no joke - it's a reality and there's
nothing that you can do about it - once it begins!
-
The last words to be spoken - will be - WE TOLD YOU SO!
