Let me grab my SI-units book and look up "Strong".

It sounds like it's only turning on its sensor package over the US. Why's China been so interesting in peeping at the US and only the US lately if not for nefarious reasons.

Starting a war against is only sane when you know the enemy. As such, knowing everything that happens within US airspace would be the absolute minimum that one has to monitor for at least a couple of years before flipping the switch on invasion of Taiwan.

If the US has reverse-engineered saucer technology (this could obviously just be an elaborate hoax, but the Tic Tacs remain an oddity) China would probably want to know that before entering a war (especially, since they aren't any good at fighting wars).

I wish I knew for a fact whether the Tic Tacs are real and that I would get the real data surrounding them, because if you know the real characteristics, it's like that you can figure out how they work (even though, as David Grusch said, they might live in a higher dimension, which would explain a lot and would make it impossible for us to ever match such capabilities, since such higher dimensional beings would control dimensions that do not exist for us).

The only reason to spy on someone is for nefarious reasons. That part is true.

They have said they're trying to build a world class military by 2049 but Asians are devious and I suspect that's a smokescreen, stupid Americans do not worry about war until 2050, we promise

They probably see an opportunity between the US bogged down with Ukranian aid and possibly now Israel, our military issues, and their military advantages at the moment.

It's still a bit early, but like you said recon is the first step. And they probably are looking for those pesky UFOs. That'd put a damper on their plans if we can just send a fleet of UFOs to demolish their forces

Military generals in the US put the date of the Taiwan invasion at 2025, which is much faster than consensus. There are many reasons for this time frame, but the most important one is the population pyramid and China is unlikely to narrow the technology gap under sanctions. The situation with the US distracted with other wars also helps. So, every day China waits, it becomes slightly worse for them.

I think many people put the declaration of war date at 2035 for a long time; I was one of those people, but if a bad US president gets elected, I would not be surprised if an attack would coincide with such an event. If a rookie president (or essentially Russian agent, like in the case of Trump) sits in the White House, they might hesitate to escalate to a full war.

China has been created islands in the sea. Do you know why the US doesn't just send machines to remove those islands again?

The implication is that it is transmitting data while over the US.

This is the most un news thing since the last distraction.

I find it concerning China has ramped up surveillance on the US, first with the balloons and now satellites.

"Could indicate a clandestine ground station" or "a ship off the coast".

I figured they were mapping targets with sensors.

Any sovereign country should interpret any unannounced sensor reading as a declaration of war.

The US recently disclosed that their anti-medium range (tactical) ballistic weapons work very well. ICBMs are even easier to intercept.

I have no doubt that counter-measures for nuclear weapons are already so good that the US will dominate in a nuclear conflict. The technology required to build science fiction weapons has existed for at least 15 years. Are we supposed to believe none of that technology was used when the F-22 was developed in 1997? What happened? Did they one day believe that perhaps they innovated enough? No, that's not how it works.

If the US ever actually is meaningfully attacked, some wonder weapons will probably magically appear that have been sitting on shelves for a few decades.

Trump has said this several times: “Weapons like no one has ever seen before…”

He should have kept his mouth shut, but I think there is virtually no limit to what technology can do.

It's in the best interest of the US to have a fully working nuclear shield working, but in such a way that almost nobody knows about it. Depending on the level of technological sophistication, it's probably possible to make a global working nuclear shield with just a hundred people even knowing it exists with just three or four that know the operational details. It's even possible to reduce that number to zero in principle, although that would not be recommended and you would have to shoot everyone with knowledge of the project.

We have a hard time shooting down conventional missiles. In a nuclear attack I think we're just going to have to take some hits and rely on their weapons being Made in China and prone to failure.

I hope I"m wrong and they do have a space laser armada or UFO weapons or something crazy.

I recently read a credible explanation for UFOs, which is that they are US aircraft that don't follow the rules regarding the use of nuclear power sources in flying vehicles. If UFOs aren't just a complete hoax to begin with, that is.

If you are a superpower, why would you not break the rules? Especially, if you can say that a big bad company did it and you had no idea it was happening.

I was going on about that a year or two ago wrt FTL. It would make a certain amount of sense.

Get ready for the EMP's from high above. When the power goes out, most Americans will have no idea what happened and will assume it will come back on again soon. When it doesn't, chaos will increase.

The Lord knows these things before they happen. Turn to him (Jesus) and he will save you.

You can bet your ass that the USSF, NASA, and USAF are tracking it.

A little target practice could be fun. I'm not sure if the US has ever knocked out a satellite in space.
