It’s for nukes.

The US can shoot down a nuclear missile. They can’t hit us with nukes. It’s kind of an open secret.

They floated this shit, to see if they can do a large emp.

Turns out, they can.

They can’t hit us with nukes.

Weapons do not have to be delivered by rocket. They can be delivered in a box of a truck or they can be delivered in a suitcase by hand.

We send rockets to the Moon and land them back on Earth and you think we can't shoot a rocket carrying a nuclear weapon.

What kind of EMP can be done from 60,000 feet from a balloon?

A nuke.

It’s effective for about 1000 miles.

We know they work from testing done about 900 miles away from Hawaii.

About 90% of us would die, most likely I couldn’t you and I. Making invasion a lot easier.

It was reported in the past week that President Trump's administration let Chinese baloons float over us as well. I'm pretty sure people are overreacting here. If China was to actually hit USA their own economy would implode. That's less bad than the CCP's highest officers losing power, though, which is the real reason we won't have that war.

Yea

I can believe this is a distraction.
