Stinks of Chinese psy ops.
Consider the source.

Dang, I just posted this in another thread, but it’s so applicable in this one too.

“Weather weapon?” C’mon, why would anybody believe that. Oh, right.

Actually, I hear that there have been more wildfires thanks to a weather-changing gas the US has been producing. However at this point China is making even more. :frowning:

I’m debating whether to follow my “disaster investing” strategy and buy some shares when it gets into single digits. Hawaii still needs electricity.

I’m I the only one confused by why The Man’s sinister weapons tests would be targeted at Hawaii; rather than someone we have a foreign policy problem with?

A weapon that only conspiracy nuts believe exists is exquisitely deniable; and if you are willing to set Hawaii on fire obtaining proper congressional authorization probably isn’t a thing you feel bound to do; so why not hit any one of the places we don’t have to pay to repair and wish ill upon?

Don’t expect anything resembling logic here. They’re operating on the same principle as the “Nigerian prince” scammers who leave spelling and grammar errors in place to identify the truly gullible.
