Too high. But I'll bet the Chinese get a lot of pictures of Americans out in the yard mooning them.waytomany?s wrote: ↑Thu. Feb. 02, 2023 6:46 pmThey can't publish this stuff. Do you know how many rednecks will be outside with binoculars and rifles tomorrow?

Name the last offensive war China has won.
Don't kid yourself. The Chinese are very capable and resilient. Their people know what it is to suffer and sacrifice.

This balloon almost seems like some type of joke. Clearly the Chinese have a very sophisticated global satellite system capable of much more detailed surveillance than they would equip a friggin balloon with. Its not like they are going to put some highly developed, secretive technology on this thing as ultimately it will fall out of the sky into somebody's hands. I personally think this is just one of many tests to come to see what, if any, the response will be and what they can get away with. Like every news story, this one will die very, very quickly and we will never hear what the resolution, if any was.
Name the last war they were in.coaledsweat wrote: ↑Fri. Feb. 03, 2023 11:08 amWhile very noble, these acts don't win wars. Again, name the last offensive war China won.

A biological war with the rest of the world which they started when the let SARS-CoV-2 out of their Wuhan research laboratory?
We may never know the truth behind that. That was definitely a power grab for the worlds governments and a control exercise on the world population.exwoodburner wrote: ↑Fri.
