If this is China they're being extremely sloppy. Why this and why now?
Why would the Chinese attempt to saturate the field like this? Kinda sloppy in my opinion. Its not enough to know that they're sending these balloons. We gotta figure out the reasons behind it all. Its important to figure out their intent with this.JUST IN - North American Aerospace Defense Command is monitoring "one or two" more potential spy balloons — Global News

Did we freaking shoot down ET in Canada? Sounds like it from what the pilots are saying!
CNN: US Pilots approaching object shot down over Alaska said the aircraft interfered with their plane’s sensors, another said they ‘could identify no identifiable propulsion system and they did not know how it was actually staying in the air’

As I suspected, the US provides coordinates for Ukrainian strikes...NATO IS AT WAR with Russia
SCOOP: Ukraine requires coordinates provided or confirmed by the U.S. and its allies for the vast majority of strikes using its advanced U.S.-provided rocket systems, revealing a deeper and more operationally active role for the Pentagon in the war.https://t.co/yDkKD6Xv9A

The Amazing, Shrinking, Disappearing MEU replaced by an AIRCRAFT CARRIER for Disaster Relief/Humanitarian Assistance????
via USNI News
USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) is in the Mediterranean Sea, moving toward Turkey in case the country requests additional assistance, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Wednesday.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey early Monday morning, in the Turkish province of Kahramanmaras, according to USA Today. The earthquake and its aftershocks collapsed tons of buildings near the border of Turkey and Syria, with the death toll now at more than 12,000.
The United States is sending a variety of aid to Turkey and Syria, in addition to the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group, Ryder said during a Wednesday press conference.
“And on behalf of Secretary Austin and the Department of Defense, we would like to express our sincere condolences to the people of Turkey and Syria and all those impacted for the tragic loss of life and despair resulting from these earthquakes,” Ryder said.”Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they confront the aftermath.”
The United States sent two Urban Search and Rescue teams, which arrived at the Incirlik Air Force Base in Turkey on Wednesday, according to a 39th Air Wing news release. The U.S. sent 161 personnel, 12 military working dogs and about 170,000 pounds of equipment as part of the rescue teams departing from Dover Air Base in Delaware.
United States Agency for International Development deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team to lead Washington’s response, according to the release.
Once you would have seen an MEU with a full compliment of Marines turning too and rushing to assist those that suffered after a natural disaster.
Not anymore.
The MEU is in limbo and is shrinking before our eyes.
So what do we see instead?
A freaking aircraft carrier?
So let me get this straight. We don't do land combat. We don't do HA/DR. We don't do amphibious assault. We don't do raids. We don't do any of the missions that have been a hallmark of the Marine Corps anymore.
We do Stand In Force and Recon/Counter Recon.
Just fabulous.
