More than 9,000 Japanese balloon bombs were launched during World War II via the jet stream with the intention of causing mass disruption and forest fires in the American West. These bombs caused the only fatalities on the US mainland due to enemy action during the war.13 Japan experimented with balloon bombs as early as 1933, but they were not seriously considered until after the Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942.
I’m wondering if the DS is now getting us conditioned to seeing balloons, and seeing them as non-lethal. With the CCP getting cozy down in Cuba, it would be relatively easy to send a few over to Florida and Texas. https://www.businessinsider.com/japanese-balloon-bombs-targeted-the-us-during-wwii-2020-8
My grandfather fought the Japanese and many years later went to Japan and found they were very nice people and very civilised. He had been fed lies about them to get him to hate them. The guilt tore at him and he drank himself to death.
Not an unusual story.
That is why the great awakening will end all wars.
The balloon that was traversing Canada a little while back… could it have dropped devices that were triggered remotely and simultaneously to ignite all those Canadian fires?
Personally, I believe it is totally possible that something more nefarious has been occurring than just spying, I mean.- the DS is pretty damn desperate at this point.
You onto something here. I also wondered if it was manned.
Could be right, and the Biden regime had orders not to shoot it down 👀
Oh yeah, one of the forgotten stories of WWII. They had very little effect on the war effort. But the raid on Tokyo with firebombs, now THAT was a major strike, and one that brought the war home to the Japanese people in a very real way.
We used “bat bomb’s” on Japan, we dropped bomb casings that were filled with bats. The bomb casing would open and the bats would fly away seeking a place to roost, attics exc., attached to the bats was a small incendiary device on a timer, then poof the buildings would burn. They actually worked pretty well, the bats probably didn’t think much of the idea though.
Wind directions all wrong for it
