With all the censorship of things that shouldn’t have been censored, and crafting of narratives, I’m not sure what they’re up to with this.
The bare facts are tanker and airspace closure which they would HAVE to mention because of private pilots.
But beyond that, perhaps there’s another balloon.
Or maybe one of the Chinese military units that were “doing exercises” in Canada is still there and is up to something.
Who knows.
That was my first thought...but as you say who knows. So much is unbelievable today and precious few sources willing to be truthful. BTW - Creating 'doubt' is one of the enemy of mens souls greatest tricks that goes hand in hand with deception.....we are living in such a time.
