“The intelligence community, their assessment – and it’s a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,” Milley said, confirming China’s assertion that the balloon was blown off course.

U.S. handwringing over the balloon brought China ties to a new low, and exposed the warmongering lust of the neocon 🤡 show steering Washington’s foreign policy.

    The amount of copium you transmit is incredible. I hope you one day get some help.

      The only one transmitting copium here is the one who’s making stuff up to avoid admitting the facts the article reports. Please stop projecting.

        After the Navy raised the wreckage from the bottom of the Atlantic, technical experts discovered the balloon’s sensors had never been activated while over the Continental United States.

        On May 21, President Biden remarked, “This silly balloon that was carrying two freight cars’ worth of spying equipment was flying over the United States, and it got shot down, and everything changed in terms of talking to one another.”

        So, Martin asked, “Bottom line, it was a spy balloon, but it wasn’t spying?” Milley replied, “I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn’t transmit any intelligence back to China.”

        If you’re so dead set on it being a conspiracy theory, why are you posting articles that debunk your own claim?

          It’s amazing how you’re completely unable to separate facts from the fiction. The facts are that the balloon didn’t collect or transmit ant information. The fiction is the spin the US regime keeps trying to put on the story. Anybody who’s not severely mentally challenged can separate the two.

            The article you linked says, multiple times, that it was a spy balloon. No one is arguing whether China did or did not use it to spy on America except you.

            Your only argument seems to be that a F1 race car while parked is no longer a race car because it’s not currently racing.

              Are you still counting the Iraqi WMDs when you go to bed?

              Once again, learn the concept of framing and to separate framing from the facts presented. It will help your reading comprehension immensely.
