No one said anything about permanently. That's been your whole issue here? Because that's not how gravity works anyway. The thing you yourself quoted says it could take years for it to reenter. So that's years of too much debris in LEO to launch anything safely.
I have no idea where you got the notion that Kessler syndrome means something like nothing can ever be launched again until the year 5 billion when the sun engulfs the Earth.
That's exactly what Kessler Syndrome is though.
This isn't about gravity it's about orbital altitude. Objects in HEO or Geostationary orbit can stay at those altitudes for hundreds to thousands of years which qualify as "permanently" for all intents and purposes.
No, that just means they can stay up there for years, not that it automatically makes it unsafe to launch into orbit. This is like claiming a 50-car pileup in Des Moines makes it unsafe to drive in Los Angeles.
[From Kessler himself](https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/white-sands/micrometeoroids-and-orbital-debris-mmod/#%3A%7E%3Atext=The+Kessler+Syndrome%2C%28900+to+1%2C000+kilometers%29.
Let me know when you actually read my links.
I already told you that I did read your links when you first posted them.
I would believe that if you had addressed anything in them other than something I quoted directly to you.
You didn't, so I don't.
