To bad Biden didn’t grant Fox News that interview all presidents have given for decades during SuperBowl.

Except Steve is a liar because he definitely has an agenda, which is leftist. The ridiculous faces he makes are the main reason I watch his YouTube channel, lol.

You may have a point.

Another reason to lock down?

Anyone see any NOTAMs for private pilots this weekend which were ‘odd’?

Here comes China Flu 2.0 I mean COVID 2023.

“Let’s get a tally of the expense of shooting these last 4 (or is it 5 now????) “objects” so far. Sidewinder missiles $400K a piece. No less expensive way to take these down? Don’t we have drones that can intercept this without launching a missile at it? Was watching Battle Bots earlier, and those guys could build something less than $400k to take care of this”


The problem with your solution is that these balloons are at 70,000 feet or higher, and the official ceiling of the F-22 is 65,000 feet...so you generally need a missile (I sincerely doubt that any of our drones that cost less than $400K each could reach that altitude). HOWEVER, we’ve been working on lasers for defense of aircraft from missiles...and the cost in electricity to power up each shot of the laser is something on the order of $10. Yeah, you read that right, TEN BUCKS. I don’t know if the lasers would be effective, but with the atmosphere being so thin at that altitude it seems that they would be more effective than on a strategic bomber at, say, 50,000 feet shooting at a missile. The questions are: a) do we have any of these lasers ready (or nearly ready) to put on a plane and brought fairly close to the balloon and b) will shots from the laser puncture enough area on the balloon to bring them down relatively quickly, or are multiple shots required?

China is probably just trying to get us to burn a few hundred million dollars worth of advanced weaponry to take out 50 bucks worth balloon parts they bought at ace hardware

This is what I think is going on...

Big government: We’re being attacked from outer space, the only way to defend ourselves is one world government and currency.

The sheeple will agree. They wore masks without question, that was the trial run. Time to up the game.

Shear brilliance. Now China knows everything there is to know about our front line fighters and their munitions..if they didn’t already. Can now develope effective counters.

Of course, another issue is how much it costs in fuel and spares/maintenance every time an F-22 flies up to that altitude...but something has to deliver a kill shot on those “weather” balloons, and that aircraft appears to have the highest operating ceiling of anything in our inventory that can deliver a missile. But I would love to know how much it costs, exclusive of the missile.
