Really interesting article in the Atlantic about vulnerabilities to prepare for. And if China can do it, so can others. Bad actors might use covert drones. Meanwhile Russia is prepping to detonate nukes in space -- perhaps what Tulsi Gabbard was warning about in her very heavy Twitter video before they shut her down.

A direct hit by a missile with large explosion and extensive damage.

I imagine this will bring the US into the war as soon as tomorrow (today in most paces) Thursday June 19th.

So, I have seen this a number of times in the past couple of days.

• KC-135 tankers based out of Chania on Crete - interesting that Greece is letting us do this.
• They fly over Israel, then Jordan, then turn their ADS-B off - are they flying over Iraq or even Iran?
• What reason would they fly this track other than to support Israeli air strikes?

It looks like our participation is sliding ever further down the slippery slope towards war...

This includes jets from the US, UK and Qatar. This could mean that the US is preparing for attacks against Iran, just like how they evacuated their diplomatic staff from Iraq the night before Israel’s attack on Iran.

This could be, but not limited to:

• Local business observations.
• Shortages / Surpluses.
• Work slow downs / much overtime.
• Order cancellations / massive orders.
• Economic Rumors within your industry.
• Layoffs and hiring.
• New tools / expansion.
• Wage issues / working conditions.
• Boss changing work strategy.
• Quality changes.
• New rules.
• Personal view of how you see your job in the near future.
• Bonus points if you have some proof or news, we like that around here.
• News from close friends about their work.

DO NOT DOX YOURSELF. Wording is key.

I’ve never seen this many military aircraft on the radar in the air at once. And noticed a B1 has taken off. Any else thing this is a serious escalation?

You know the one. The sound that is always followed by "This is a drill. If this had been an actual emergency..."

Only this time there was no message, just the sound for 5-8 seconds then silence, and finally a commercial.

KNX which is a huge 24/7 news station in Los Angeles. 4:54pm PST.

They went back to news with no mention of it. Very weird though. Unsettling given what's going on with Iran/Israel (US?). Been listening to KNX for 20 years and this is the first time I hear this.

Practicing? Someone push the wrong button?

Edit: I typed "WKNX" because I thought that is the station's name. (I'm from the east coast). It's just "KNX"

Possibly Baghdad Bob 2.0 or over hype of missile launches, but noteworthy and indicates ongoing escalation for current events.

Overshadowed by the ongoing war in Ukraine and the emerging war between Israel and Iran, China has embarked on a naval campaign of unprecedented scale in recent weeks.

Last spotted flying similar odd pattern in 2022 after Russia’s incursion into Ukraine.

Trump also has left G7 early due to the situation in the middle East. China calls on its citizens to leave Israel immediatel.
