Dem congressman compares Chinese spy balloon to DHS blimp monitoring US-Mexico border

[LV426]

Not when they are asserting authoritarian rule because they think they know best.

Is Beto O'Rourke currently governor of Texas, or is it Abbott?

Mr. Tiny Penis,

Pot > Kettle

LMAO!

Why the fuck were you hiding out in your JPP safe space on 1/6 if you truly believed the 2020 election was stolen?

A suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that the US shot down this week was able to collect communications signals, a US official has said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64587228

So all the hullabaloo about it taking pictures of our nuclear facilities was just you being a melodramatic drama queen.

 

[LV426]

Oh my God!!!!! It had the capability????

Yesterday, these assholes were so convinced that it was taking photographs of them in their backyards.

So all the hullabaloo about it taking pictures of our nuclear facilities was just you being a melodramatic drama queen.

it was probably both things.

you fuckind dullard.



your word games are ultimately uncompelling.

 

[LV426]

it was probably both things.

Open mouth, insert foot:

The balloon was furnished with "multiple antennas" and other equipment that was "clearly for intelligence surveillance," the spokesperson said.

Details: The antennas in an array were "likely capable of collecting and geo-locating communications," the spokesperson said.

It also had solar panels big enough to produce sufficient power to "operate multiple active intelligence collection sensors."

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

Open mouth, insert foot:

Im quite certain it was also taking video information.

you fucking dolt.

Is Beto O'Rourke currently governor of Texas, or is it Abbott?

Beto lost. Do you agree that Beto is too radical a nutjob to be elected to office?

 

[LV426]

Im quite certain it was also taking video information.

Oh you're quite certain are you? What leads you to that certainty? Not anything the DOD has said.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

Oh you're quite certain are you? What leads you to that certainty? Not anything the DOD has said.

what leads you to think it didn't?

evidently you don't know what spy balloons do.

 

[LV426]

Beto lost. Do you agree that Beto is too radical a nutjob to be elected to office?

Nope, he's quite reasonable for wanting to ban AR-15's.

I'd prefer it if he went a step further and banned handguns.

I think that's a fair compromise...you get to keep your long guns but you can't keep your handguns.

 

[LV426]

what leads you to think it didn't?

Because of what the DOD said, that the antennae were "sensors" intended to intercept and geo-locate communications.

That has nothing to do with photography, which their satellites do anyway.

is a camera a sensor?

 

[LV426]

evidently you don't know what spy balloons do.

True, but neither do you...the difference between us though is that I'm not making shit up.

I'm just going by what has been reported and revealed by the DOD.

 

[LV426]

is a camera a sensor?

No, a camera is a camera.

so it is both.

 

[LV426]

so it is both.

No, it's not and I don't see how you got to this response.

A camera is a camera and you were fucking wrong and made shit up because you're insecure in this argument.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

No, a camera is a camera.

a camera is a sensor of light.

so, the correct answer is yes.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

No, it's not and I don't see how you got to this response.

A camera is a camera and you were fucking wrong and made shit up because you're insecure in this argument.

video information was collected. shut your dumb face.

 

[LV426]

a camera is a sensor of light.

No it isn't.

You're talking about this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...okKFE27Obz75p1hWR1wVHhI2YrFyhLoxoCy2MQAvD_BwE

THAT is a sensor because it measures the amount of light for the aperture of a film camera.

You'll notice a distinct lack of photo lens on it...because that's not what it's measuring.
