        I saw it so much when the Chinese weather balloon wandered over the US

        So many people I thought to be smarter than they proved themselves to be were going on about how the US had secret signals interception abilities and the only reason they didn't intercept the "spy balloon" earlier is because they were spying on the information going back to China using this secret high tech stuff

          And then it turned out that they'd tracked it the entire time because it's just a weather baloon, and no one gave a shit until it turned in to a big stupid political thing.

      Just you watch bozo. When The Ghost of Tallahassee kills 500,000 PLA soldiers on the first day of WWIII, we’ll see how fast they fold
