If Rate is correct, then we DO need to drop a nuke on Chinese Communist Party headquarters. We should have done that years ago.
You remain one of the less bright posters here. Besides crippling our economy, and starting a world war, why else shouldn't we do something so stupid?

The US took out another 'threat' (UCO) over Canada yesterday...
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first announced Saturday's shootdown over the northern Yukon territory, saying Canadian forces would recover and analyze the wreckage.

Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand declined to speculate about the origin of the object, which she said was cylindrical in shape.

What if this is a Chinese and Russian joint venture?

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I find it very interesting that at this point no one has claimed the last two objects shot down.

Aliens probing our defenses.

Are you counting just the Alaska and Yukon objects or also the one over Lake Huron they downed today? Obviously they claimed the spy balloon.

Yep… apparently it’s believed to be the same object that caused the radar blip in Montana yesterday. Shot down this afternoon by the military over the lake.

At what point does this activity warrant a presidential address? There seems to be bipartisan demands for information.

Ok, not trying to create a new conspiracy theory, but, there’s been a large investigation of the cell towers that have been popping up around military zones. Apparently the Chinese equipment may have a back door for them to gain access. What a perfect way to get that intel from a balloon. It just moseys along gathering the data that has already been harvested. The thing may be at 60,000 feet, but that is still line of sight to the tower. Calling Agent Mulder now, I’ll report back!

It’s possible the Chinese hired contractors to put up cell phone towers to communicate. Not impossible.
