They are best buddies. The day before Russia invaded both countries dumped about 90% of their US dollars.

Both.

So China is in on this hugely, imo.

Pepe Escobar has a piece about how Russia will survive sanctions and it is clear they had been prepping together.

I kept thinking, why the balloon now?
The only obvious answer is Russia just effectively won the war...us media won’t tell you that but they took and wrapped up the area where Ukroarmy gets their supplies.

Pinging Jon to tell more about this....

Anyway.

As I keep telling people, Russia said NATO coming in equals them attacking the US.
Probably nukes. Idk.

So China is doing something by air...I think it could be figuring out how to keep us from responding.

They expected for it to be shot down.... they just wanted to find out how far they could get into our air space.

This balloon was one of many such incursions over time. This is part of a plan. A PLAN. They didn’t send a friggin’ message. Like they care. They looking for ways to destroy America. WAKE UP.

The US has done an exceptional job of destroying itself.

The US govt. looks very untrustworthy, unstable, dangerous and erratic. I can’t think of a single solitary institution in America that hasn’t lost all credibility and there is no national zeitgeist whatsoever. None. The US population is rushing in no particular direction.

If there are any legitimate strengths I can’t see them and this thing is just another Pavlovian dog whistle.

I still maintain that it was a free floating weather balloon with its course at the mercy of the jet stream and the constantly shifting wind patterns.

Nobody has asked the question of what kind of propulsion system it was using that would function at 68,000 feet where there is little oxygen for a motor to function or the fuel capacity that would fuel it for the approx. 8 days that it was aloft. And likely very much longer if it hadn't been shot down.......

This has been nothing but a contrived diversion to take the focus off all the other crap that has been going on.

A few EMPs would destroy this country. ZERO electricity from Seattle to Key West… San Diego to Portland. No food, no water, no gasoline, no propane, home heating oil, nuthin.

Russia can see the weakness of the Biden administration. All we can do is hope and pray.

Could have been solar and electric motor.

Shoulda shot it down when it was over Alaska.

But I read, from some military expert dumbass that you can’t shoot a balloon down.......

Too many people don’t take the EMP threat seriously. They either don’t want to believe it could happen (normalcy bias) or think our wonderful government would never let it happen.

And probably 90% have never heard of the possibility/probability of an EMP attack.

Not just the jet streams but the ever shifting wind currents......

Check out the ever changing weather and wind maps......

One hell of an electric motor and propeller to propel a 200 foot balloon with an alleged payload of 2,000 pounds thru the jet stream and navigate thru the ever changing wind currents.......

Never happened, we're being played just like the raid on the Benghazi compound was caused by an anti-Muslim video.
