I'm just wondering what might have happened if it had a nuclear payload and it was set to go off after dropping to 75,000 feet or so?
I think there are far more efficient and capable ways to deliver a nuclear payload than a balloon.
Riddle:
Some are red, some are orange, some are green and all have one thing in common..........
They claim they saw it.
I don’t think they did until some concerned citizen in Montana made a fuss.
Then they looked at archived sat images and started spinning stories.
EMP takes out a large portion of out electric grid and practically everything connected to it.
Biden had to let it distribute whatever bioweapon it carried before he shot it down.
It’s all fun and games till someone gets a city put out.
This was my first thought when I heard about it, EMP Lights Out!!
Some Canucks knew about it before it hit Montana. My guess would be that they asked the U.S. about it around the time it wandered in from Alaska, and if the U.S. didn’t know about it before, they did then.
Balloon with nukes?
Nah!
More like a balloon disseminating Covid 19 virus into the atmosphere or other bio weapons.
It may have ALREADY happened.
And Brandon destroyed the evidence by shooting it down into the ocean, never to be found, after the balloon spread virus and disease all across the United States.
It should have been shot down as it entered US air space.Too late now.
Another thing to worry about, rather than it dropping 75,000’, is it going off at 75,000’ and causing an EMP, thereby frying damn near everything electronic, if I’m not mistaken. Modern cars not running. No electricity.
Dry run: Balloons called top ‘delivery platform’ for nuclear EMP attack
along comes a Chinese *spy* balloon to dominate the news cycle; Biden gets to look "Presidential" as he orders it shot down....
Anyone else besides me ever see "Wag The Dog"....??
With the Biden family business dealings with China and the CCP, is it a stretch to think that maybe all it took was a phone call...?
Of course, I don't know, but they probably have the capability to launch nukes from submarines, as we do. So a balloon-borne weapon is more of a psychological terror weapon, I guess. Part of the whole doomsday matrix. They are running tests and collecting data. Since 1945, unfortunately, every human being on the planet is living on the battle field.
And what about everything to the eat and the radioactive cloud went inland?
It would have been detected long before it ever reached Canada or the U.S and destroyed.
And you know that, how?
Winds over 50,000 feet up are much more steady and predictable.
If China had put a nuke on it and wanted to detonate, it wouldn’t much matter to them if it went off over Michigan or over Texas. Either way it would have really sucked for us.
Huge margin of error for Xi and Co.
Thumbs up on your orginal post.
Details, details
“Regrettable collateral damage” as the mil spokesdroids say
I would have had front-row seats from the beach two blocks from my house, and wouldn’t be responding to your post.
“They seen it …”
God I love this site.
“”A WMD would be a full on act of war.””
With Biden at the helm? I wouldn’t count on it. I believe the shooting down of the balloon was done specifically over the ocean today so no evidence could be retrieved.
I’ve always been concerned about EMP...
