@zephyreks You could only be seriously confused about where I get my “impression” from if you’re an absolute idiot considering I included the link to the BBC article where I got that “impression”.
Yeah, we agree that it was not collected. But, you keep leaving out the part about where they tried. Make sure you put that in your talking points next time. They tried but failed. Ergo, they did not collect any intelligence.
Nowhere in the article does it say that they tried.
I’m like legitimately worried for you. Lead contamination is a serious problem.
@zephyreks Here’s another one for you then. See if you can comprehend what Brigadere General Pat Ryder is saying…
"Ryder was asked Thursday whether he believes those U.S. mitigation efforts were responsible for the balloon’s failure to gather any info.
“Certainly, the efforts that we made contributed,” he said."

Last I checked, the Pentagon falls higher on the scale of “reliable statements by government” than some random General.
