“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.

You are very intelligent

I'm sorry if you can't read the stories you post, understand what they say or can't be slanted to fit your justification for bad behavior.

The additional thing I found hilarious about the whole escapade was China not being able to use the self-destruct function. It's almost like the balloon had all signals capabilities jammed from the moment it started drifting into US airspace... Weird.

I'm very sorry that you aren't able to understand what the stories I post actually say in black and white. Just to emphasize the point once again, US has produced ZERO evidence to substantiate the conspiracy theory that this was a spy balloon. US military has now admitted that the balloon did not collect any data or send anything to China. Yet, we still have people like you running around trying to pretend that this was a spy balloon.

I understand it's hard to accept that you've guzzled propaganda and now it makes you feel stupid to admit that you've been had so easily.
