Thought For The Day - 13 February 2023

See, if we had a real President with real Balls, you know like The Orange Trickster, we'd already have a barrage balloon fence from Angels 40 to the edge of space all around the lower 48. Alaska and the Woke Islands don't matter.

Sometimes, especially around London, several balloons were used to lift a length of "barrage net": a steel cable was strung between the balloons and more cables hung from it. These nets could be raised to an altitude comparable to the operational ceiling (15,000 ft / 4,500 m) of the bombers of that time period. By 1918 the barrage balloon defences around London stretched for 50 miles (80 km), and captured German pilots expressed great fear of them.
