If the full extent of the distraction is a 3 minute segment on cable news (and this HN submission), this is a complete failure of a distraction attempt.

I can't tell if comments like this are serious or rage bait.

Something can be a bad distraction. The fact that they’re planning on releasing these at a drip over the coming weeks/months certainly builds a case that this is meant to be yet another distraction. And you can bet this administration is desperate for anything that turns people’s attention away from Iran.

And Iran used to be a distraction from something else the administration was desperate to turn the public's attention away from.

Maybe so but unlike near-meaningless UAP info dumps that one actually matters and has real world ramifications lol
