Catch live foxes in China and Australia, spray-paint them with glowing paint, and release them throughout Japanese villages. With frikkin’ lasers on their heads!

...and to think the US taxpayers actually paid this guy for his lunacy. Probably he was paid a lot. What a nitwit. Yet another stereotypical government “worker”.

Samson beat them by about 3500 years. :-)
Only he didn’t have radioactive paint. He just used foxes and fire.

Lol. Apparently the hiring of lunatics in spy organizations didn’t start with the CIA.

They’re not all pos slugs my friend....your right, it is a stereotype to think so.
Having said that, the fed gov does have its share of ‘em.

That had possibilities.
Japanese have folklore about fox spirits - kitsune. Kitsune can shape-change, possess people, and are mischievous or even malicious.
The impact of glowing foxes might have a much bigger impact on the Japanese that it did on Americans.

You place a radioactive appearing fox in the Chinese backwoods and they would worship it. You’re not dealing with a group of intelligent people here. And besides, if they were that smart, as they proved with Covid, they’d just capture it and send it to the US and then try to deny it.
Besides, radioactive things do not glow in the dark. The human eye can’t see the actual radioactive materials. They’d just see a fox. That is unless they have any idea that it was placed there and someone put flyers out to tell them. Then their IQ would catch up to the perceived threat as explained. Have kill a number of trees to get that one done.

I agree...not all. But there is a reality behind stereotypes.
