@takeda @yogthos I understand where you're coming from Takeda. But don't expect rationality from Yogi. He says Ukraine is being "used in a proxy war". That's your first hint that he's a propagandist. Anyone who says the US is helping Ukraine to hurt Russia without mentioning that the ONLY reason the US needs to do so is because Russia has needlessly and baselessly attacked Ukraine, is not trying to speak the truth. Unless Yogi here wants to admit Russia's attack was the cause? Yogi?

@yogthos You missed the point with the grace of a dancing elephant as usual. I didn't say it wasn't a proxy war. I said that acting like Russia isn't reason the war exists at all why you're a propagandist. Can you admit that Russia started this war and is solely responsible for the bullets and bombs that are flying or no? How much of a leash does Daddy Putin keep on you?

@Dazza So, leave the war in Ukraine lop-sided so we can absolutely ensure that the majority of those killed are Ukrainian civilians instead of Ukrainian civilians AND Russian soldiers? What kind of sense does that make?

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@Dazza There are legitimate concerns about using cluster munitions but Ukraine is well aware of the problems they create. And unlike a 3rd world country like Vietnam, they will be better suited to mitigate those threats post-war. In the meantime, none of this matters if they lose because Russia will kill half of them anyway after the war.

@LilBiFurious Half the US isn't seeing it in their newsfeed. That's why it's not getting a lot of traction.

@twolf @BrikoX there are people will back the police regardless of their brutality. Today's police forces are more like militarized gangs protecting businesses/governments and less like forces to serve and protect the people.

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

@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@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.”

@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.

@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@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."

@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.

@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks Here's another one for you then. See if you can comprehend what Brigadere General Pat Ryder is saying...

"Ryder was asked Thursday whether he believes those U.S. mitigation efforts were responsible for the balloon's failure to gather any info.

"Certainly, the efforts that we made contributed," he said."

@zephyreks dude I don’t know any other way to explain it to you so that you can comprehend it. The balloon was trying to collect information and was thwarted. You have it from a brigadier general that mitigation efforts certainly contributed to the balloon not collecting any information. You can try and act like it was just not collecting information out of the goodness of the Chinese’s heart, but that is a blatant misrepresentation of fact.

@zephyreks You work for the Pentagon? I notice that you've made that claim twice without any reference material to justify your claim. But sure, if you feel the need to impune the character of a US Brigadere General and esentially call him in a liar, I know who I'm going to trust and it's not your word.

@zephyreks Dude, you're a fucking idiot. Here's the press release from the Pentagon where Brigadier General Pat Ryder says exactly what I've been pointing out.... that US countermeasures certainly contributed to the balloon not collecting any information. So there you have it, from the official Pentagon press release by the same guy I've been telling you about repeatedly but you refuse to believe. 🤡 https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3444912/pentagon-press-secretary-air-force-brig-gen-pat-ryder-holds-a-press-briefing/

@zephyreks What exactly did the countermeasures contribute to if it wasn't collecting to begin with?

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks 😂 😂 I love how you twist reality to avoid seeing what's literally right in front of your face.

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks I've already read it. The countermeasures the US took certainly contributed to the lack of data collection.

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks That means it wasn't able to collect data in part because of the countermeasures that contributed to preventing it from collecting data. If that was not the case, why wouldn't the BG have just said, "no it wouldn't have mattered because it wasn't trying to collect data."?

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks lol I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you have to jump through to arrive at your worldview. For you to think that in that moment, while being questioned by a reporter about a Chinese balloon and the collection of data that his immediate thought was I need to justify the budget… It’s just astounding.

@zephyreks You're grasping at straws.... give it up.

@zephyreks How old are you, 12? You could have just said, I know you are but what am I?

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks Wouldn't matter if I did. You don't see reason.

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks No, because you'd just make up some kind of reason why a Brigadier General would lie or obfuscate the truth instead of following Occam's Razor and understanding that no more assumptions than necessary are reasonable to answer a question. You pulling some bullshit out of your ass about budgetary concerns is a step beyond Occam's razor. That's why I say you don't see reason. You're relying on hypotheticals to justify your position instead of the facts right in front of your face.

AdamantlyAdam ,
@AdamantlyAdam@newsie.social avatar

@zephyreks Not directly, he just said that the countermeasures the US took contributed to stopping it from doing so, so...

...this is where you inserted your bullshit about it being because he was trying to justify the budget because of the training he had and that all military leaders in the US are trained to lie and mislead the press because you know... the military budget that literally no one in Congress is concerned about and increases every year regardless if they even ask for it.
