Another Chinese Object Shot Down Over Canadian Skies--Russian Roulette and a Push to DEFCON 1?

 

First the Chinese observed that for 8 days a spy balloon had free reign
To roam across Alaska, Canada, the Great Plains to the Atlantic Coast while shooting it down we deigned
A bogus excuse that a 7 mile debris cloud would put Americans in harm’s way
But its path was over sparsely populated lands such that lightning strike would have had much greater odds to slay
8 days of delay until it crossed the waters’ edge before the Sidewinder flew
Instead of over land to payload recover with ease into raging waters while winter storms brew
The balloon was big enough to be located before it entered our airspace
The second object crossed our Alaskan borders before jets scrambled for the threat to erase
Now news of a third object that was over Canadian skies shot down
The Chinese must be emboldened rightfully believing they are dealing with a senile frail clown
The Chinese are playing a very dangerous game that humanity would regret
How many more incursions before we go to a place we have never been yet
If the Chinese continue and increase these incursions showing their testing our resolve is not done
We may find ourselves with our fingers on the launch keys in DEFCON 1
God help us if credible fear of EMP and the nuke missiles begin to fly
With millions upon millions from the blasts and billions from the nuclear winter to die
