Picture of the Day: North Korean Balloon Sets Building on Fire

So many questions here.

This claim is going to need a bit of evidence.

At the least, a plausible explanation.

Setnaffa, that is a plausible explanation.

Now for the follow-up questions.

“A Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson said some North Korean balloons have dropped bundles of trash using devices that heat up and disconnect the garbage after a certain period of time, noting they could lead to fires if they land on surfaces without properly separating.”

I haven’t been paying detailed attention so I might have missed it, but this is the first i have heard of timed load dropping.

Why does the pattern now look like:

– Phase 1: send poop baloons to South Korea.

– NK laughs at SK becasue of poop balloons

– SK people are upset becasue of poop baloons.

– Poop Balloons.

– NK doesn’t care about poop balloons. It is a distraction from the real goal that would never be allowed if anybody knew.

– NK develops a database of routes and times for poop balloons… ot any balloons.

– Phase 2: Testing with timers further refines the database

– Everybody still talking about poop balloons. Nobody questions the timer, as they think precision poop delivery is the goal

– Phase 3: NK develops an unbelievably cheap and somewhat accurate way to deliver something other than poop to SK.

– In the event of conflict, tens of thousands of incendiary balloons could be launched per hour which would cause inimaginable chaos even if it caused no serious infrastucture or military damage.

– what would be the proportional response to this? These would be high school student grade projects that would start forest fires and burn a few rooftops made from Styrofoam sandwich panels

Now I am worried about poop balloons.
