US tracked the balloon since launch
So the US was in fact spying on China.
most of :amerikkka: now hates China even more
most of america thinks everyone who isn't american is subhuman, so how can you tell the difference
You're giving the hogs too much credit. They ALSO think like half of America is subhuman (mostly the brown and black parts, but also a surprising amount of mayo-on-mayo dreams of violence).
They first said that they tracked it from launch and that they knew it was a spy balloon because of that, now they say that tracking it from launch shows it's a weather balloon. No words lmao. Only the US propaganda machine is capable of this shit talk.
So the first balloon was the massive one from China, the second one was a US weather balloon, now only the third, octagonal shaped one is in question.
:mission-accomplished-1::mission-accomplished-2:
Do you have a link to an article saying that they're now admitting it was a weather balloon? WSJ propaganda article says it's a spy balloon still.
yeah we need receipts from a lib source so we can properly own the libs on things like this
I'm not gonna lie I am 100% looking for sources to show my coworkers (not all of them, just my buddies, who are nonetheless libs).
computer modeling conducted by The Washington Post
:doubt:
Lol, share the model results, please. Share the code, even!
Only the US propaganda machine is capable of this shit talk.
I'm still not convinced they're too incompetent to differentiate
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Ok, I wont. I'm unironically trusting you guys to be a better source of information than the Washington Post.
And of course the correction won't have nearly the same coverage as the initial "EVIL CHINESE COMMUNIST WINNIE THE POOH SPY EMP NUKE BALLOON"
Lie loudly and correct quietly
This new account suggests that the ensuing international crisis that has ratcheted up tensions between Washington and Beijing may have been at least partly the result of a mistake.
I'm pretty sure it only ratcheted up tensions in America, China's response was more along the lines of :jesse-wtf:
Of course it persists in stating it's a fucking spy balloon
America should become an international quarantine zone and no one who lives there should be allowed to communicate with people outside so that no one else ever has to hear their smooth brained opinions on geopolitics again
anyone dumb enough to fall for evil scary communist balloon should just fucking die tbh
