Loading ...Pentagon Belatedly Claims Chinese Balloon Did Not Collect Data In US
The device was crammed with commercially available US gear…
The Chinese ‘spy balloon’ narrative continues to unravel – or is at least full of holes and contradictions – and all the Biden administration has to show for it is continually spiraling US-China relations, despite recent attempts to rescue diplomacy. After the high altitude balloon was first spotted January 28 flying over North American airspace, it was shot down by an F-22 fighter jet on February 4, with the debris subsequently recovered off the North Carolina coast.
The Pentagon has now asserted that the Chinese balloon likely did not collect data while it traversed US airspace. “We believe that it did not collect while it was transiting the United States or flying over the United States, and certainly the efforts that we made contributed, I’m sure,” said Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder on Thursday.
Of course, a country that has thousands of actual spies embedded in our country and does what all countries do(maybe more aggressively than most) has their spy satellite fly over the US but it stops collecting data while it is over the US. Biden and his clown crew are trying to sell that shit. Cmon Man!
