erm, who said what, now?
obfuscatory flak? ......?
[former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Robert Ellsworth, who is also a former Deputy Secretary of Defense] “It’s spectacular… It takes people’s breath away,” said Ellsworth, calling the projectile, “a big missile”.
Ellsworth urged American to wait for definitive answers to come from the military.
When asked, however, what he thought it might be…
[emph. in orig]“It could be a test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile from a submarine … to demonstrate, mainly to Asia, that we can do that," speculated Ellsworth.
While POTUS is in Asia?
Naturally, that last statement is the only thing that is carried at the Nooz on the Eights all morning. Design? Sloppy messaging? Taking advantage of opportunity? WTF?
Who answers the “what it might be” question?!? Unless he has something to say. ...not say.
Sub-launched ICBM/SLBM demonstration to all of the powers in Asia? Surely. But not by *us.*
A-hem. cough cough China cough cough
