#2 When are we going to do something about China? They're going to keep fucking with us until we hit them, and hard. The Three Gorges Dam is awfully vulnerable to a stealth bomber attack and they'll be dealing with the aftermath for decades.

#3 "detected suspected" balloons includes the ones Trump didn't know about?

Maybe someone here could 'splain how balloons are detected by 'forensics'.

#5 Sure sounds a lot like, "We knew about them, just didn't tell anyone."

Or just making it up.

#6 I just finished reading Five Families: The Rise, Decline, and Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires.

J. Edgar Hoover spent decades insisting that the Mafia did not exist. He wasn't the only gummint official who took that stance even after the evidence was overwhelming.

#7 Bob would like us to drown 3 million innocent people as a reprisal against a regime that considers its citizens to be cannon fodder. Wiping out the dam would likely tick off Xi because his family owns the associated power generating facility. We should definitely do something about the CCP short of mass murder. Perhaps, we should start by removing all of our compromised politicians, generals and bureaucrats.

#11 Bobby--what I read was that they started looking more carefully at old satellite photos and noticing things that had gotten missed before.
Salt to taste.
