All this talk about nukes going off,  if a nuke goes off you need to

 

1) go into the middle of your house or building (middle is strongest part) 

 

2) go under a table as that will stop debris landing on you 

 

3) take vitamin D tablets 

 

4) go to the gym on a regular basis prior to nukes going off as you will be fitter and more likely to survive a nuke going off near you

1/10. Try harder.

I believe the correct procedure for a nuclear attack is:

 

1. Bend down

2. Put your head between your legs

3. Kiss your ass goodbye

If you are in the middle of your house and under a table you will be ok

Apparently you should move to the inner refuge of your fallout room in your house.   Protect & Survive. 

 

 

Also don't forget to close your windows & curtains.  We'll be alright in our house, we have lined curtains & the bloke in the shop told us they're good up to a 5 kiloton warhead.

Another Chinese ballon has been spotted over Latin America similar to the one  that’s been shot down by the Americans.  

 

I’m beginning to think the Chinese are full of hot air.

The Chinese are playing mind games to discover how the USA and it's allies react to provocation.  It is not dissimilar to the Russians sending fighter jets close to UK airspace.

Biden is boasting that he ordered it to be shot down. Strong, virile, presidential stuff. Oh, oh, he's standing for re-election.  Next he will be pinning a medal on the pilot.....

I assume it was spotted as soon as it entered Alaskan airspace. If not, they need new binoculars.  Peering at the video, I think the Chinee detached the gondola as soon as the envelope was punctured. From twelve miles up it would have hit the ground/sea with a thump and helpfully smashed most everything.  They should have popped it over Montana, not much danger of hitting anything in that sparsely populated state. Now they've got to fish for the bits.   

 

My guess is that the square heads were arguing with the airforce, and Sleepy Joe was wanting it to come down live  on CNN..... 

 

They will send some more loaded with fortune cookies......

According to the CTV News Channel (https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/canada-tracked-suspected-chinese-spy-balloon-over-canadian-airspace-since-last-weekend-sources-1.6259770😞

 

The suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that was found floating over sensitive military sites in the western United States had been tracked by Canada's government since last weekend as it passed through Canadians airspace, sources tell CTV News.

 

Canadian officials have not publicly stated whether the massive high-altitude balloon entered Canadian airspace. But sources told CTV News it had passed over the Canadian Arctic, Alberta and Saskatchewan before it was spotted over Montana on Thursday, as it flew over a nuclear launch site. Sources told CTV News it was tracked the entire time it was in Canadian airspace.

Using a AIM-9X Sidewinder missile that costs over $381,000! Talk about overkill.....

Some of those pesky balloons can be tough cookies:
