Holding fire on speculation, but will simply note a few quick things:
If memory serves, the Chinese have practiced launching drone swarms from container ships (“civilian”) before. If memory serves, there was a Chinese man arrested in California not all that long ago for flying a drone into/over restricted airspace. If memory serves, the Chinese were buying farmland and other real estate near major (inland) military bases for years (with some of us jumping up and down and trying to get it stopped). Was some of that near Wright-Pat?
Now, as to the White House playbook. Isn’t the response to the drones eerily similar to the spy balloon fiasco?
Oh, and don’t forget all those healthy and in-shape military-aged Chinese males that have come across the southern border in the last couple of years.
The more I watch, the more convinced I am that multiple parties are going to do something stupid ahead of Jan 20. I really hope not, but am not going to bet on it.
Just some quick musings…
Getting hit by lightning is not fun! If you would like to help me in my recovery efforts, which include moving once we have medical issues cleared up, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.

That’s it! Thanks.
The Daily Mail is now reporting that the drones are searching for a nuclear calibration device for medical scanners that was lost in transit the first week in December in New Jersey.
I could almost, almost, believe that if it were just happening in New Jersey. Given all the other places, that stinks of desperation.
