Yes and people fall for it. Had an angry German Redditor arguing with me that it was a spy balloon and I was being a stupid leftist for thinking otherwise. I told him that it was almost time for his hourly penis flattening by his American masters.
If americans bomb Berlin for some reason the germans will beg for more
Yep, otherwise people might start questioning why the story broke only 24 hours after Tyre Nichols bodycam footage released.
I mean, they won't. But it's still absolutely wild that it was just smoke and mirrors to stop Biden from having to put down nationwide BLM protests.
WASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - A Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States earlier this year before being shot down did not collect information as it went across the country, the Pentagon said on Thursday.
"We assess that it did not collect while it was flying over the U.S.," Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder told reporters.
The balloon spent a week flying over the United States and Canada before the U.S. military shot it down off the Atlantic Coast on Biden's orders.
Yeah, a spy balloon that apparently didn't do any spying.
The news was still calling it a spy balloon last week.
So it was a US weather balloon...
It was a UFO from zeta reticuli
President Xi, please send 99 more luftballoons.
I don't know what I find funnier,
The thought of a Red Dawn scene of weather balloons approaching over the horizon for real.
or
Every lib forevermore reacting to childrens birthday parties like they saw Hamas's makeshift paragliders descending upon them afterwards.
If I were Xi, I'd be sending over 10-12 low-flying weather balloons every week with nothing on them except a decal of China's cute lil hammer & sickle. Whenever I'm asked to respond, just hit a different Fortnite dance on em until Americans accept their total humiliation.
Why do you think this website was “merged” with Lemmy? We needed to upgrade the infrastructure to process and store all the data China sent.
