Your right you can't start raining down ordinance on people I agree. But what about the ones near the ocean? I think they asked Kirby that and he flat out didn't answer.

I didn’t think about the ocean ones. Pilot here so I have a little knowledge on the airplane part- it’s very challenging to find a stationary target from the cockpit of a fighter if it’s not showing up on radar. Especially if it goes dark. I think it would be a fools errand not to mention how loud and further fear and panic inducing it would be. I think it’s just not an option with regard to this target, which they clearly know more about than they’re sharing. This is fkn bananas.

Yeh those things are loud as shit. 2-3 of them could terrorize a large city by just flying around low.

Exactly- and I think the goal appears to be minimizing panic. And that sounds funny to say given the hundreds of these things in the skies. Who knows. I’m kinda freaked tbh

Agree with everything you said and yeah this is the wildest time I've ever seen in this topic.

It's nuts how much of an odd edge case this is?

But it is starting to feel almost like if a mig showed up and started pulling wheels over DC, they wouldn't do anything either.

I apologise. English is not my first language.

Then you are better than most English speakers who don’t know basic grammar but pretend it’s no big deal to get it wrong. Sorry for being a grammar Nazi but I feel like it takes away from a person’s opinion and legitimacy when they don’t use basic grammar correctly
