    Rhetorical, right? (Sort of a funny comment given your moniker. ;) )

    How can the Biden Admin be more transparent wrt high flying spy platforms, when they first must examine the shot down wreckage?

    Would be funnier if it were true outside of the GOP echo chambers.

    Peter Zeihan is a bit of a controversial expert. He does work with the CIA, so other do value his opinion.

    If I was China, I'd just be pumping out thousands of dumb, cheap weather balloons around the world. A significant fraction would end up over the US, and the entire country lose their minds trying to shoot them all down.

    You could spend a few thousand dollars, and watch the USA collectively flip out and spend tens of millions trying to "protect the border".

    That's basically what i was thinking. Imagine if China wanted to return tons of toxic trash to America. Send up a hundred thousand cheap balloons intended to disband over America.

    There's NO WAY it's aliens, they can't shoot down SPACESHIPS with a sidewinder missile

    the Alien ships are like thousands of years more advanced
