The point is not the balloons, the point is to scare White Trumpublican America into a panic. So that they demand "the Homeland" be defended. So that they feel insecure and want to "pull in" US forces.

The average FOX viewer has no clue about our strategic weakness right now. They have no clue that 90% of the world’s supply of computer chips comes from Taiwan.

It will take 5 to 10 years for any of the new plants funded by the CHIPS ACT to come online.

During that time, if anything happens to Taiwan the US is FUCKED. We don’t make enough chips to resupply our military demand.

Oh, BTW we are BURNING through advanced munitions in Ukraine. Those being the only thing keeping them from collapsing.

We are burning through advanced munitions faster than we can replace them and the plants that make 90% of the world’s supply of computer chips are right off the coast of China.

The snap of stones
on the board.
Encircling, capturing, defeating.
