          @zephyreks …but it wasn’t from lack of trying… the countermeasures the US used kept it from collecting any sensitive intelligence. That’s the part you propagandists keep leaving out.

            It did not collect information. You’re hallucinating statements that don’t exist and you’re also hallucinating propagandists that don’t exist.

            I’d ask you to get it checked out, but I’m afraid that you’d hallucinate a doctor that doesn’t exist.

              @zephyreks There you go again. You’re either blatantly trying to mislead people or you’re an idiot.

              "But “it has been our assessment now that it did not collect while it was transiting the United States or over flying the United States”.

              He said the efforts the US took to mitigate any intelligence gathering “contributed” to the balloon’s failure to gather sensitive information."

                I’m seriously confused where you get your impression from. It’s been known that lead exposure leads to hallucinations, so you might want to get your paint checked out?

                  @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.
