Biden didn’t decide to leave the Chinese balloon alone. And that’s because Biden doesn’t decide anything.

Some puppet master made that decision. A bulldog press would demand to know who. They would demand answers. But of course we no longer have a bulldog press. So let’s all go back to investigating Trump’s tax returns from 1980.

“Thanks, free traitors. I hope that $.10 you saved on communist made paint brushes is worth what you did to this country.”

Shhhhh... you’re not supposed to remember that. I took heavy fire pointing out what free traitors were doing. Somehow, the “I told you so” isn’t very satisfying.

Any sufficiently powerful EMP weapon would require detonation of a specific type of nuclear explosion. This would be extremely heavy and would emit a radiation signature that would be easily detected by our own satellites long before it crossed our shores. Using a slow, large, visible balloon to carry such a device would be ridiculous. Time to knock off the comical hysteria which no doubt has the Chinese ROTFLOL.

There are tens of thousands more to go after that.

As far as I know only China has the Neutron Bomb and has twice tested it over Uyghur villages back in the late 80s, early 90s. Worked just fine.

B Clinton did away with our prototypes, and the Russians, who knows?

Links are from the early 90s so I no longer have them.

> as a propaganda weapon it has succeeded <

I think that was the whole point. Any intel gathered along the way would just be a bonus.

Biden the paid off shilling for the Chi-Coms. Anyone with half a brain knows this but the many delusional littered across the nation refuse to see.

I have no doubt that this was a deliberate action by the Chinese to gather information for some malicious reason. However, I doubt the EMP angle. The Chinese could wipe out consumer electronics but they know that military electronics are hardened. Besides that we have WMDs stationed all around the world that could used to retaliate. I also doubt biological weapons because there are stealthier ways to deliver the weaponized biological agents. A malfunctioning weather balloon leaves a trail right back to the source.

This is a test of Brandon to see if he will act or is all talk. This is his Corn Pop moment, except this challenge is not a figment of a weak mind trying to sound like a tough guy. I suspect it is information-gathering on Brandon and the assembly of clowns he called his administration to gauge how they might respond if action were taken against Taiwan.

Think they wouldn't let that happen? Other things they let happen:

No, this means that since O’Biden is “owned” by the CCP, Xi knows that the US Fed Gov and the US Military HAVE NO BALLS.

Next they will tell us, “resistance is futile” Surrender to the CCP. Or we will click a single switch and hit the USA with doomsday EMP. And bring US to Stone Age.

This is total rubbish, but it is no more far fetched than the crap we have been fed by our media during the past 3 years by the Fed Gov and the Lying Globalist Media.

They can all go to Hell, whence they came.

Now if some brave souls wanted to make a political statement, have American citizens float balloons over a missile base, the NSA facility in Utah, the Capitol, the White House, Langley, and the beach house at Reheoboth beach, and I bet the the reaction would be different.

"The Biden administration won't take down Chinese spy balloons in American airspace, but will take down Americans just floating in the breeze. Which do the American institutions serve-the American people or the CCP?"

My side job with the airlines was radio interference hunting. An EMP pulse from 60,000 feet could wipe out all electronic devices for 245 nautical miles in all directions.

(Formula: the square root of the transmitter’s altitude in feet times 1.23 equals the distance from which a radio signal can be heard.)

I love good fiction. This is not good fiction.

For those who haven’t read, this is a timely work of fiction.

“ONE SECOND AFTER” written by William Forstchen and Newt Gingrich.

Many folks do not understand the severity of an EMP attack. Here’s the bottom line: ANYTHING that uses electricity in any form would be destroyed internally with little hope of getting functionality back. Your car, washing machine, lawnmower, digital watch, microwave oven, computer, cell phone, electric stove, etc.

For a good (and scary) learning experience I suggest the book, “One Second After” by William Forstchen.

Smart. The plan is to do a central US EMP when they launch the Taiwan invasion. Plausible US focus only on our own recovery.

But much more, ONE SECOND AFTER, depicts America thrown into the early 1800s. Hospitals, nursing homes, airports, malls, government buildings, food supply, supply chain, any pathing reliant on digital and electric services, all rendered useless. Probably as devastating as a nuclear weapon.

What’s going to happen is going to happen regardless of who we vote for and it’s not going to be good.

I don’t like the Republican gaslighting over this Mitch kisses China’s hiney too?

“What’s going to happen is going to happen regardless of who we vote for”

I DO NOT believe that. Period.

Some “votes” cannot be ignored. They are not counted by POS POL’s.
