Yeah just eat up whatever bullshit the US Government tells you, that’s worked out soooo well before.

I don’t believe the government is neither lying nor telling the truth. Whatever they say the media will phrase the way the media wants to so why should I care either way?

I just don’t bring up thirty-year-old news to make a point. If I did, I’d use something like MK Ultra about how the government lies to us. Or Operation Northwoods.

Why go back and bring up Northwood’s or MK ultra when we literally have Iraq and Afghanistan war which happens way more recently, Even Vietnam happened after MK ultra and Northwoods

I like how people here never question anything the American government tells the public when it comes to rival nations but they simultaneously refuse to trust the U.S. government on every other topic.

It’s definitely possible there are spy capabilities in the balloon but the government could also just easily escalate it and claim they found an unexploded nuke inside and the entire country would call for war without ever seeing the contents.

You must not have been in the US around the time of the Iraq invasion ramp up - we had the largest nationwide protests since the late 60’s/early 70’s. But you sure seem like a person eager to grind on Winnie the Poo’s lap.

So many people are raised on and blinded by propaganda that they can’t even see it and it’s ridiculous. They focus so hard on other countries so you they have to deal with our country and it’s many problems, that’s what Americans best that.
