I wonder if they were testing a new weapon system.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was human error in both cases
ReplyDeleteA few scenarios
1. We know of breathing issues/oxygen supply issues in both systems. What if an already hairy oxygen situation is worsened by covid? It is a terrible thought but not only ships but also our advanced manned aircraft might be harder to operate by an affected crew
2. An alternative scenario could be sabotage. And I don't mean on base. I mean in flight, remotely. These things are flying computers and prone to electronic interference and hacking. We are at near war with a technologically very capable adversary
I advise any and all Americans to unite behind Trump
I advice any and all Europeans to unite behind the US.
Together we can face this challenge. But we must stand united. The enemy is united. We are not.
