Agreed.I think it is time we cut the Chinese off.

How do y'all feel about not being able to buy any Estes products for the next 3-5 years? TVs? Thumb drives? How will your friends and neighbors feel about that? How will Target and WalMart cope with having half or more of their stores empty? Because that's what it means to cut China off (among lots of other stuff).Agreed.
There should be serious repercussions.
I should mention all of the above happened in the 80s. Along with one I didnt mention:Exactly.
In AK I know for a fact:
the F-15 that blew up on take off at Galena was an animal intake
the Korean airliner that reported an engine shut down was caused by volcanic ash across the bay from Anchorage Intl
the Japanese airliner that reported UFOs and refused to land saw Northern Lights and American speaking translators had a hard time explaining as he made an ER landing.

I was part of the DoD in the "Five sided puzzle palace" and I can tell you that not everything that comes out of there is truthful...sometimes to the point it would make your toes curl. Sure, most of it is puerile but the thing that most Americans fail to grasp is that once you make Flag rank and are at the highest levels of the military, you are not longer a warrior and mostly politician.Anyone else who disputes this account is welcome to post a link to their sources so that we can judge the relative reliability.
Yeah, and where am I going to get a cool weather balloon? (I hear they make the best ones).How do y'all feel about not being able to buy any Estes products for the next 3-5 years? TVs? Thumb drives?

I was thinking tit for tat. Launch our own giant balloons from NATO bases in say, Turkey.How do y'all feel about not being able to buy any Estes products for the next 3-5 years? TVs? Thumb drives?

Shocking.I was part of the DoD in the "Five sided puzzle palace" and I can tell you that not everything that comes out of there is truthful...sometimes to the point it would make your toes curl.

If thats true, its sad. I might be seeing my past with rose colored glasses but, it wasnt that way for me. Now how many "flag" officers did I deal with, not many. But the best officers that I worked with are former enlisted (non commissioned).I was part of the DoD in the "Five sided puzzle palace" and I can tell you that not everything that comes out of there is truthful...sometimes to the point it would make your toes curl.

Couldn't....they waited so long that the trajectory might have allowed it to float down in international waters. That would have complicated the "diplomatic" condition of threat to our sovereignty.A debris field 15 football fields wide by 15 football fields long, if they would have just taken the balloon and put a big hole in it instead of having the missile Blow The Smithereens out of all of the hardware below it, then it might have come down within one football field
I thought lack of smell was part of "long covid"...Some people cant use the "smell test". Their head is so far up their ass they cant smell their own farts!
Apparently your socks have been doing a good job...right?Shocking.
Who will I trust to keep my precious bodily fluids pure?

Maybe. Let's find out. I am sure Rep. Mike Turner chairman of the house intelligence committee will look into this. Somebody is lying.So Pompeo was lying when he said he knew nothing about Chinese balloons entering US airspace on his watch?
Kramer stores them in Jerry's refrigerator. But, dont look for your birthday card under the magnet. Jerry threw it away.Shocking.

Lume is my prescription for many of my friends here.I thought lack of smell was part of "long covid"...
BUT.....In 2021, 8.6% of total U.S. exports of $1.8 trillion to the World were exported to China and 17.9% of total U.S. Imports of $2.8 trillion were imported from China. And that's going to stop?Agreed.

How many school busses can you fit in a foot ball field?A debris field 15 football fields wide by 15 football fields long, if they would have just taken the balloon and put a big hole in it instead of having the missile Blow The Smithereens out of all of the hardware below it, then it might have come down within one football field
about 7 of them in a line (42ft long models), 6 wide= 42 busesHow many school busses can you fit in a foot ball field?

Are they shorty busses, extended busses, special bussess, end to end, side to side, where is Evel Knievel when you need him.about 7 in length(42ft long models), 6 wide= 42 buses
School buses range anywhere from 20 to 45 feet in length. In general, buses that are 20-25 feet long are considered mini or short. While buses that are 25-35 feet long fall into the mid-size category, and buses over 35 feet are full-sized.Are they shorty busses, extended busses, special bussess, end to end, side to side, where is Evel Knievel when you need him.
Damn, we will do anything to avoid the metric system.How many school busses can you fit in a foot ball field?

Its easy just take 3 x ..... whateverDamn, we will do anything to avoid the metric system.
As the beautiful Redheaded Libertarian once said... "If there were Chinese spy balloons during the Trump administration, that sht would have been leaked to CNN, MSNBC, The View, WaPo, The New York Times, Fox News, BBC, Al Jazeera, TMZ, and the Disney Channel."Does the statement "and was debunked by several people in the USG" given as proof pass your smell test?
Some things are a lot smellier than others.

"Target and WalMart" pales in comparison to Amazon...How do y'all feel about not being able to buy any Estes products for the next 3-5 years? TVs? Thumb drives?

Sometime in the 80's. When science education became an elective. And when teaching the bible became more important than teaching critical thinking.June 1, 1980
Oh, absolutely agreed that flag rank officers are politicians. And absolutely press offices range between spin and outright lying. But if someone just bleats "fake news!" with no sources or support to back it up, it's hard to take them seriously. They might be right, but if you're going to say the Pentagon is lying, you ought to provide a counterargument source.I was part of the DoD in the "Five sided puzzle palace" and I can tell you that not everything that comes out of there is truthful...sometimes to the point it would make your toes curl.

HooKay, everyone who agrees with that, stop buying ANYTHING from China, and make your families to stop it too.I think it is time we cut the Chinese off.
