@zephyreks dude I don’t know any other way to explain it to you so that you can comprehend it. The balloon was trying to collect information and was thwarted. You have it from a brigadier general that mitigation efforts certainly contributed to the balloon not collecting any information. You can try and act like it was just not collecting information out of the goodness of the Chinese’s heart, but that is a blatant misrepresentation of fact.

Not according to the Pentagon, which last I checked was a more reliable source than a single General. A General can say whatever they want, but the Pentagon has to actually check facts.

@zephyreks You work for the Pentagon? I notice that you’ve made that claim twice without any reference material to justify your claim. But sure, if you feel the need to impune the character of a US Brigadere General and esentially call him in a liar, I know who I’m going to trust and it’s not your word.

You know that I can’t disclose that, but if you read the article it clearly states the Pentagon’s statement.

@zephyreks Out of curiosity… who exactly do you think you’re hearing from when you hear from the Pentagon? Joe Smoe from down the street? No, it’s a member of the military just like the Brig. Gen.
