Satellite images show China built mock-ups of US warships

Satellite images show China has built mock-ups of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and destroyer in its northwestern desert, possibly as practice for a future naval clash as tensions rise between the nations.

China has upgraded its military massively in recent years, and its capability and intentions are increasingly concerning to the United States as tensions rise over the South China Sea, Taiwan and military supremacy in the Indo-Pacific.

The images captured by Colorado-based satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies dated Sunday show the outlines of a U.S. aircraft carrier and at least one destroyer that sits on a railway track.

Maxar identified the location of the features as Ruoqiang, a Taklamakan Desert county in the northwestern Xinjiang region.

The independent U.S. Naval Institute said on its website that the mock-ups of U.S. ships were part of a new target range developed by the People's Liberation Army.

It will be fine as long as we know their preferred pronouns.

China is building a first-rate fighting military.

U.S. is building a first-rate woke tranny military.

Not a question of "if China invades", but "WHEN China invades".

And over here, we have the “leader of the free world” emptying turds into his pants and loud stinky farting at international gatherings, extreme criminal behavior of both him and his son, and having a daughter claim he had inappropriate showers with him as she grew up.

You can’t even make up what’s happened to our country in the last 10 months. Incredible.

And a 'press' that doesn't give a damn what a person does as long as they have a 'D' by their name.

Wait a minute... and we don’t?

Wouldn’t surprise me if some tactical computer database for training for headaches and a bunch of training scenarios we’re copied.

What also doesn’t surprises me is that China would physically build a target range to put training ordnance phtsically on a mock up. But, we do that also...

Maybe these are decoys... The Chinese love mind games and diversions...


From link:
Tendor has watched as paranoia has grown in his community. Tibetans, he believes, are brave, but in the last decade the PRC has managed to exploit their vulnerabilities: their ties to family and friends still in China, and their hopes of obtaining visas to visit Tibet. The PRC has sowed divisions and left Tibetans in exile frightened and suspicious of each other. “You can basically have no spies in the community,” Tendor told me, “as long as you create the perception that there are spies in the community.”

So despite the additional lie propagated by NASA, the astronauts will be wearing those undergarments for an extra 12 hours (+24-20+8=12).
