Nobody could have predicted this. I have my doubts even when they call it “spying equipment” or whatever considering Chinese claim it was a meteorological balloon, certainly no doubt they would try to paint those tools as such.
“I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn’t transmit any intelligence back to China.”
I’m gonna be honest, that sounds like it’s missing two of the three defining features required to term something a spy balloon.
Isn’t the third feature that it’s a balloon? How can you fuck that up?
We fucked up every other part. Statistically, we are likely to fuck up this one as well
One does have to start wondering if it really was a balloon after all. “I would say it was a balloon that we know didn’t float, or fill with any air”.
