They supposedly tracked the balloon from China across the Pacific and where it crossed into Alaska, Canada, and finally someplace over Montana, USA. You would think the USA would want to know what type of devices the balloon is carrying but "NO" I guess that might interrupt their woke gender classes or something ? At 62,000 ft they would have to send 4 or more balloons which would end up at different locations to do a complete lights out in the USA via an EMP... Which hopefully they are not that stupid as our ships at sea and submarines have a bite all their own,,,yet... there really are some terribly stupid people around the world in leadership positions.
I'm not sure what to say about this perhaps because I'm a bit gobsmacked that this isn't the first time and the previous incursions were never mentioned.
Watching Biden's reaction on Tucker said it all. That smile he gave as he left the podium was more of a smirk. (I know something that you'll never know type.)
As for an EMP, that would no doubt affect your general population. I'm pretty confident that silos and other installations would be made proof against such an attack. But there could be other attack initiatives for example the release of an airborne type toxin or disease. Dunno. Perhaps I digress.
Maybe it is a spy balloon that may equate to a cheaper proposal than for launching and maintaining satellites. The proof is there because no one is going to take it out and it can send data unheeded and who knows may navigate back to it's launch platform in China for renewal.
Remains to be seen whether one country will have the balls to take one out and/or recover it.
Kind regards,
