@zephyreks What exactly did the countermeasures contribute to if it wasn’t collecting to begin with?

To avoid any potential data collection? The US didn’t know what the balloon’s capabilities or purpose were until they shot it down. Until then, treat everything as a threat. It’s SOP.

@zephyreks 😂 😂 I love how you twist reality to avoid seeing what’s literally right in front of your face.

Read your favourite general’s statement and get back to me. It’s simple English.

@zephyreks I’ve already read it. The countermeasures the US took certainly contributed to the lack of data collection.

Yes, and what exactly do you think that means?

Also, props to Lemmy for handling this discussion, because the latency is way less than Reddit.

@zephyreks That means it wasn’t able to collect data in part because of the countermeasures that contributed to preventing it from collecting data. If that was not the case, why wouldn’t the BG have just said, “no it wouldn’t have mattered because it wasn’t trying to collect data.”?
