I don’t understand what’s happening, is China mad at us so they are spying with balloons now? Or is there nothing really happening and politicians want to make it political?

there was a derailment in Ohio that has the potential to cause an enormous ecological disaster.

literally no one is talking about this and it seems pretty clear the gov't is covering it all up so i'm glad the news has made it out to some people, at least!

China has spied on us for a very long time and balloons are cheaper than satellites. They use them to spy on other countries as well, and people abroad have noticed them. This isn't new, but it is new to the American public. The Dept of Defense either has not noticed or not cared to deal with them in the past; they say the monitor hundreds of balloons, mostly weather balloons, and unless something weird is going on, it isn't kicked up the chain of command

lol I should prob evaluate my priorities bc my first reaction to this balloon gate was that the "omg aliens! ufo!" crowd was going to be more annoying

[tanglespiders]

no, they totally are. the tin-hatters are out in force, and they’ve incorporated earthquake machines, fema death camps, and great replacement theory into their dipshit cosmology. only thing that’s missing is someone saying the balloons are going to activate our vaccine nanobots and explode our heads scanners-style.

I saw people on twitter saying the balloons were gonna release a new form of covid into the US

[tanglespiders]

well sure, how else would you get it into the country
