Is it possible that the balloon spy equipment was jammed or inactivated somehow by us, in some super secret way?

[SaveFerris]

Just wait until John Kirby confirms it

🤣🤣🤣

[ridesthemiles]

I WILL NEVER TRUST A SINGLE WORD OUT OF THAT PERSON’S FACE

[Kakaze]

I smell horse shit.

[tired&retired]

We found all their files were empty so they weren’t spying.

Wiped clean with bleachbit?

[willk]

If it wasn’t spying why was it blown off course to Hawaii? Going to Hawaii for the weather?

[Pontiac]

They’re lying, but why.

Because the Chinese are paying Biden for the lies.

[Pontiac]

If it wasn’t spying why was it blown off course to Hawaii? Going to Hawaii for the weather?

That is obvious BS.

The balloon made course corrections over the US in order to fly over a missile base.

If it can make course corrections over the main land why can’t it make course corrections over the Pacific Ocean?

[Secret Agent Man]

I dom’t believe him.

[plain talk]

If it was so innocuous then why not capture instead of shooting it down?

[Newtoidaho]

Any and ALL statements by these criminal government buffoons you know is a complete and utter lie.

[PGR88]

The idiot MSM article never answers its own question - why was a 200 ft wide balloon manufactured in the first place, and what was its mission.

[bigbob]

I smell shite

[Ancesthntr]

BS. I wouldn’t believe Milly if he said that the sky was blue, or anyone else in this administration for that matter.

[quantim]

“...technical experts discovered the balloon’s sensors had never been activated...”

Remind me again why we are to believe anything out of the FJB administration?

[ElkGroveDan]

So, Martin asked, "Bottom line, it was a spy balloon, but it wasn't spying?"

Milley replied, "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 was born at night, but not last night. Why does anyone believe anything these fools say?

[JohnnyP]

What, the Chinese forgot to remove the lens cap?

[chuckee]

Milley is a disgrace to the uniform. Hard to believe the guy who succeeded him will be worse but he’s definitely making noises in that direction.

[OKSooner]

Miley has no credibility.

[Chewbarkah]

This smelled like an admission that the IC KNOWS zilch, yet selected the unproven and unprovable theory that requires no action and therefore least threatens the flow of bribes from China.
