Oh no, Whidbey Island. This was the only thing in the Q drops that made me cringe.
The claim (read the 20 or so drops after this one) was that a cabal sub launched an ICBM from a heavily populated bay near Seattle that was supposed to hit Air Force One while it flew over North Korea.
It was such a screwy thing. AF1 wasn't anywhere near North Korea or Seattle at the time. An ICBM travels at 15,000 mph, AF1 travels around 500 mph - that just doesn't work. There's so many other ways to shoot down an airplane.
But, it can maybe be chalked up to creating awareness around HRC's nuclear sub and the danger it can create?
On the surface your cringe is fairly well justified... an ICBM seems like the wrong weapon.
However, I can think of reasons that this might be exactly as Q implies:
A nuclear detonation somewhere "close" to AF1 would indeed bring it down. This could be spun as an assassination by NK.
ICBMs are MIRV. I suspect that our ICBMs have several possible RVs that they can be armed with, including anti-aircraft capabilities, and, also anti-ship, anti-sub, and even anti-ICBM. However, AF1 would have been well defended from most anti-aircraft type missile attacks, so I think it's possible this is what happened and the defensive capabilities of AF1 worked?
The fact is: the Whidbey Island launch DID happen while AF1 was in the air. It was either intended to do the president harm in some way, or it was fake to give the president cover. It is also possible that the launch that we saw was the RESPONSE to an attack on AF1? We don't REALLY know what it was.
Where did the ICBM go? You don't just launch a missile and it vanishes, it goes somewhere.
Sorry, this irks my background and training in the military to no end since I worked with these subs at one point.
But yeah, where did that missile go? Our Navy is just now doing tests on how to shoot down ICBM's and they have success when the missile is known and being tracked and controlled.
An F-15 crashed near Okinawa on June 10, 2018. (There are no coincidences.)
When I worked at MDC over 40 years ago, they were testing F-15s to go ballistic and to see if they were capable of intercepting missiles with their weapons systems.

And, I remember how those tests worked out in the end, do you?
