              Because you don’t know what you’re talking about?

                @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.

                  The facts are that the Brigadier General you love so much didn’t even claim that the balloon is a spy balloon, so…

                    @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.
