The context for the discussion is US admitting that the balloon did not collect information. 🤡

@yogthos @steltek pffft…the ballon did not “transmit” any information. It absolutely did try to collect information. Stop telling lies.

@yogthos laugh if you want. But you’re an idiot if you think otherwise.

“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.”
