Gordon Chang Warns: Recent Balloons and Lasers over Hawaii are sign China is preparing for war

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • China Lasers Hawaii, Prepares for War
  • This [spy balloon’s eight-day flight] path certainly suggests China is gathering intelligence for either a first or second strike on America’s nukes.
  • Combined with the green lasers collecting atmospheric data useful for a strike by a hypersonic glide vehicle on Hawaii, American defense planners should be alarmed.
  • The real story is that the Pentagon was caught off-guard by the recent intrusions. Only after the Chinese spy balloon penetrated U.S. airspace did the Pentagon go back over previously collected radar data and realize that there had been intrusions in previous years.
  • Deterrence is being eroded as China’s Communist Party is fast mobilizing all society for war.

A change in tactics as Russians use Balloons in new wave of attacks on Ukraine

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • Russian balloons over Kyiv in new wave of attacks
  • Ukraine’s army has said Russia fired 36 cruise missiles on Thursday, a day after six apparently radar-reflecting balloons were spotted over Kyiv.
  • The missiles fired from land and sea killed a woman and hit critical infrastructure, officials said.
  • Ukraine noted there had been a change in Russian tactics, in an apparent reference to the balloons above Kyiv.
  • Most of the balloons were shot down, Kyiv’s military said, adding that they were being propelled by wind power.
  • Balloons with reflectors have also been spotted over the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk in recent days.
  • “These objects could carry radar reflectors and certain reconnaissance equipment,” said air force spokesman Yurii Ihnat. “The balloons were launched to detect and exhaust our air defense forces.”
  • And earlier this week, Romania scrambled fighter jets when an object resembling a weather balloon was spotted at a height of around 11,000 ft (3,350m). Moldova briefly closed its air space because of the unidentified object.
  • By “soaking up” as much of that missile defense as possible, the balloons would then allow Russia’s fighters, bombers, cruise missiles and attack drones to strike Ukrainian targets relatively unimpeded.

DOD pursues high altitude inflatables: Balloons

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • U.S. military’s newest weapon against China and Russia: Hot air
  • The Pentagon is working on a new plan to rise above competition from China and Russia: balloons.
  • The high-altitude inflatables, flying at between 60,000 and 90,000 feet, would be added to the Pentagon’s extensive surveillance network and could eventually be used to track hypersonic weapons.
  • Over the past two years, the Pentagon has spent about $3.8 million on balloon projects, and plans to spend $27.1 million in fiscal year 2023 to continue work on multiple efforts, according to budget documents.
  • DOD would not disclose details about the effort because it is classified.
