It turns out that it wasn't a spy balloon, and everything China said about it was true.
Quote:Now, seven months later, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells "CBS News Sunday Morning" the balloon wasn't spying. "The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon," he said.

Also, you misrepresented what Gen Milley actually said, by omitting the final sentence of the article:
Quote: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."
[Emphasis added in both quotes-- Thump]
That renders this post of yours fundamentally dishonest.
