Explosion in Montana skies discussed in US

February 4 2023 13

Relations between Washington and Beijing continue to deteriorate rapidly. The appearance of a drifting balloon (balloon) high in the sky over the state of Montana on the evening of February 3 caused a stir in American society. The US authorities (civilian and military) declared that the aircraft belongs to China and is used for reconnaissance purposes, and local policy, the media and residents began to actively discuss what had happened.

For example, politicians demanded that the PRC be held accountable because of the "Chinese threat", the media reported that the US air defense shot down a balloon, and residents commented on the explosion in the sky of Montana, where secret nuclear facilities are located.

In turn, high-ranking Chinese "comrades" admitted that the balloon belongs to the PRC, but it is not a "hostile spy", but a "misguided scientist", since it is used in scientific activities (meteorological research), and flew into the United States due to "force- major circumstances ”(blown away by the wind).

It should be noted that the incident was the reason for the cancellation of the visit of US State Department Secretary Anthony Blinken to China, which was supposed to take place next week. On the night of February 4, 2023, Blinken stated that "task number one" was to remove the Chinese reconnaissance aircraft from the country's airspace. A source told Bloomberg that Blinken's visit to China under such circumstances would send "the wrong signal" to Beijing.

Note that in recent times American generals and admirals are increasingly and absolutely not embarrassed in public are discussing the likelihood of an early war between the United States and China.

Do you know what is most INTERRUPTING about the sheer number of people in the Russian media?
This is constant news AND WHAT THEY HAVE THERE ... As if there is no news in Russia, inside Russia.
Here's "purple" in Brazil and Montana, what Biden said, etc. Why reprint it?
Who needs to go to Bloomberg and read the translated version.

Here General Rutskoi spoke - this is important. An anti-war spring could start if Russia doesn't win by April - that's important.
How not to pump up the youth with patriotism - it is anti-war. And against the backdrop of hypocrisy - it's generally a disaster.
Villages are dying out, there are no roads, there is no trade and logistics, there is no local aviation, there are no buses on village routes, mobile shops in the villages do not go to old people, walls near clinics are collapsing, CHURCHES have been destroyed after the communists for 30 years.

And in the media about freaks from Europe and America.
Who in the US is interested in news from Russia? Nobody.
Go out the door - immediately news. But it is better to saw Scholz, Burbock and other garbage.

Russian media do not write about Russia. Look at their headlines.
It's just "Foreign Chronicle".
And about Russia, only if Cord sang something ... or who was killed, stabbed to death, etc.

  It's not all that sad. I have noticed many improvements over the past 3-7 years. Before, it seemed to me that this was the "Potemkin Village", but it turned out that not always. There are, of course, but these "villages" are fewer. I recommend reading the news by region. A lot of interesting. Dead enterprises for some reason began to interest the Russian oligarchs, but not for destruction, but for development. There are examples of redemption at an inflated price. Not interested? Then you can cry more.

    So I really want all the journalists of the Russian media, together with Putin, Peskov, and others, to come to the only city-forming enterprise near Perm in this village, find improvements and write about them. And then the village of 12 thousand people and people without work. There will be no pink, vector, invitation, etc. Just a link from Komsomolskaya Pravda.... https://www.perm.kp.ru/daily/26721/3747069/

      What Perm!? You were not in the Tver province. It feels like everything around is in a marafet, one of ours is in full f... And this is between Moscow and St. Petersburg... A broom is needed. From barbed wire... Eh...

    Aren't "non-Potemkin villages" not too expensive for us? 2011 trillion rubles were allocated for the UAV development program for 2020-20. And now our guys are 90 percent dying from artillery coming out. There is no normal intelligence! There is no electronic warfare counter-battalion fight, everything is junk! There is no electronic warfare in aviation, aviation is sitting. Electronic warfare aircraft are old, sitting. Space intelligence is the result on the battlefield. The boys are dying. A colleague brought his brother, 29 years old, three children, one head! And we have non-Pemkin villages - a lunar program. In May 2022, Putin confirmed in the news: the lunar program will continue! And in the fall, the buildings of the Research Institute of the Aerospace Forces in Moscow and Tver accidentally burned down. Strange, just when cases of corruption were opened! And according to Zvezda, they tell us how the electronic warfare near Murmansk will "plant" the whole of Europe. But for now, our strategists and fighters are sitting. The entire infrastructure is alive in Ukraine, parts of reconnaissance UAVs are being formed. And we, with non-Pemkin villages, apparently, are forming regiments of cavalrymen with sabers, led by Budyonny, and soon a year after we are at war, and there is no end to this. And there are always criminal cases in the defense industry: there are no radio stations, no armored vehicles, no radar suppression missiles, no homing bombs ... Humanism is expensive for thieves, the lives of our soldiers are paid for !!

      Quote from Greka42
      The program for the development of UAVs for 2011-2020 was allocated 20 trillion rubles.
      
      Are you raving
      
      in the first half of 2022 GDP is estimated at 69 billion rubles.
      Source: https://bankstoday.net/last-articles/vvp-rossii-2022
      
      And you want to say that 1/3 of the country's GDP went only to R&D for UAVs!??
      And your entire post is ALL-FALLING!!! You are an alarmist, only inside out - in accordance with the new instructions of the CIPSO! And this is called-ATTACK LEFT on the Russian government! because the RIGHT attack failed. Now they, along with people like you, are trying to overthrow PUTIN with an attack from the "left", using supposedly pro-patriotic forces to fan discontent, parasitizing on the difficulties associated with holding the NWO.

    Just a cat, the man lied. The media constantly write about Russia, both ours and foreign ones. But this scarecrow wants the "truth" about Russia, and the liberals are gone. Maybe matured?

You look how actively minus posts calling for attention to the situation in Russia itself, it is immediately clear what the country is heading for and what goals our media, bloggers and youtubers are pursuing. Quote: "shh ..., around the enemies." But the guys need to continue, otherwise the quacks will crawl out of their swamp completely, until only their heads stick out.
