(1) All right.
I never investigated the August 12, 2015 explosions at Tianjin, China.
It just had to be an industrial accident, I thought.
This is the remains of the "factory."
(2) That crater has a lip.
The official story is that 3000 metric tons of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate were stored at the site IN STEEL CONTAINERS.
(7) The Chinese censored all news about this incident.
They removed all social-media comments with the words "Tianjin" and "explosion," and they removed hundreds of Websites from the Internet.
(8) The reason I say this was a military strike is that the blast effect--the shock waves--went straight down into the earth.
That crater is hundreds of feet deep.
(10) The American M1 Abrams tank has "blow-out panels" (red) that are intentionally weak.
If the ammunition explodes, all the force exits the blow-out panels and allows the tank to survive.
(12) Therefore there's no ACCIDENTAL way that the containers at Tianjin all exploded at once and sent the shock waves straight down.
Some form of weapon was used.
And it wasn't American.
(13) Clearly a MILITARY installation was hit.
My guess is that SOMEBODY used a "knock on the roof."
The first strike said, "Get the f*ck out of here. We're taking this place out."
And then came the second strike.
(14) This is one of the reasons the Chinese are allowing North Korea to walk away from slavery.
Somebody showed the Chinese that they could be hit anywhere, at any time, without leveling a city.
(19) AND clearly there were warnings given, so I doubt seriously that anybody was killed.
This is the great advantage we and our allies have.
The Chinese will never admit to being hit.
