We don’t want other nations (pretty much northern hemisphere) seeing what our military is doing because we no longer trust our “allies”

Would be a shame if those satellites went dark at an opportune time and the airspace was off limits.

Insurgency will always require boots on the ground. And guns will always be an extremely strong resistance to boots on the ground.

A deep bunker is advisable.

Frankly restarting the Civil Defense Program is probably advisable at this point. The General population won’t likely be able to afford building bunkers.

But learning how to build basic fallout shelters in their basements is more feasible.

The thing about this specific move is it was initiated 6 months ago in May. So unless they gamed it out and knew this is where we would be currently, then this is not really related to the election or anything Lin Wood is saying right now. Not discounting Wood, but just trying to keep it all straight. Could still be an important coincidence regardless.

The executive order safeguarding the elections was from 2018.

Meanwhile, here's what the media was focused on the day we announced we'd be withdrawing from that treaty-

Yep

I sure as hell picked the wrong time to buy my Dad’s company from the bank. But there really wasn’t a good choice otherwise. Doesn’t help that I bought a project car instead of a project firearm in April.

What’s your weather prediction for how much shitstorm PA gets?

I bet they have Democrats on recorded conversations colluding with them.

Canada is huge threat to our national security, it needs to be annexed. Most of them have a deep seated hatred for our 1st and 2nd Amendment.

Nah. That's just Toronto and the Eastern Provinces. Go west of Ontario there will be no difference with the Republican states. Central Provinces and Western Provinces not named British Columbia are conservative. In fact, Alberta wants to separate from Canada and join US

We all know about the cowboy/lumberjack/oilfield Canadians.

They will be our favorite new Americans, when annexation takes place.

Yesterday would not be too soon.

Annexing Canada? LOL. Okay. You're playing RISK, not talking about reality.

We have no allies. It was all a ruse.

The countries that refused to acknowledge Biden as the winner are a good start though.

Don't trust them militarily?

Simply put- US will no longer allow other nations to fly over any part of sovereign soil for any type of data gathering for the sake of that nation's own "national security".

Am I stupid to believe we allowed this before?

It was sensible as a trust exercise

So you can see your enemies building up troops on the border etc, and they can see you

Therefore there’s less suspicion that someone will sneak attack you, so nobody will want to act first

Trumps gearing up to drop the insurrection act. Apparently this let Canada and other places do fly overs of our military installations.

Now they don’t get to.

Canada isn't our friend. Neither is the UK, AU, or NZ.

The events of the last few days, weeks, months, years has rather proven the sense in that.

The US is withdrawing from a treaty allowing surveillance overflights:

Because, Russia has been violating the treaty:
