It’s much, much worse than that.
Consider, we have a plethora of satelites and radar installations designed for this EXACT reason - and no one saw a thing.
There were not F-16’s scrambled, nor was there a High Alert in the Military. Business on Vandenberg continued as normal.
We had one idiot say that this may have been a show of force, to show China that we can launch a missle 35 miles from our shore. As if China hasn’t known of this capabilityf or the past 40 years.
Or ... maybe China did the launch, in a show of force to tell Jughead to get his butt back in-line. That if China wants to play hard-ball; they can get within 30 miles of teh California coast and launch an ICBM and we would not only be unaware of it; we wouldn’t even know about it until a city was a radio-active pile of ash.
When you are dealing with a Libtard like Jughead; the world knows that they can do this, and he will quickly curtsie, bow, lick a boot and appologize on behalf of the charred victims that somehow or another, we had this coming.
Regarding the whole China aspect of this:
China could put a shot across our bow by not buying bonds for one auction. Or by selling gold in a large amount quietly in the Swiss Market.
I know this may come as a surprise to a lot of people (not directing this to YOU specifically) but China is not going to take over the world with arms, but with our dollars.
There strategic moves will come in the boardroom, not the war room.
Actually it hasn't even had such capability for 20 years. You might remember that Clinton & Co. started selling them technology less than 20 years ago.
I think the most likely explanation for the missile that appeared near Los Angeles is again a Navy accident. There was a NOTAM prepared for the day after the missile sighting. Maybe the NOTAM issuers got the date wrong; or maybe the guys carrying out the scheduled exercised didn't know what day it was. Then it would make sense for another government cover-up. If it was some foreign action, I think a lot of our guys would have scrambled. That they didn't is evidence that this was something our military knew about in advance.

Why not?
The Reds surfaced a sub right in the middle of a carrier battle group a few years ago.
Undetected, I do believe.
