I’m convinced the missile launch in the photo, because of where it is located, has to be the White Hat response to Black Hat action. Nothing else can make any sense. NAS Whidbey is an anti-submarine base, it protects the Bangor Trident base and the Bremerton hunter-killer base. This was launched from right there off the island. Unless the entire U.S. Navy has gone rogue, this has to be a friendly action.
We knocked somebody down. You’re right. Only reason for the steep incline.
