LOL. I don’t think “cunning” is an accurate description of the Obama administration’s role in the Iran nuclear deal.

I was just reading this story a few minutes ago, and it made me wonder how involved the Chinese government is in the piracy efforts of 3DM. Think of how many people all over the world are pirating games, and how advanced worms like Stuxnet spread with the tenacity of herpes and the “don’t even notice until it’s way…

It would also be pretty fucking weird to accidentally ship a dummy missile to Cuba - but here we are.

“No, a broken nurf gun is still a nurf gun. This is really complicated for you, isn’t it?”

“A gun is still a gun without a barrel, bullets, sights, trigger, slide, and magazine. So yeah, I’d say it is still a missile.”

“A better analogy would be that of an actual gun, minus ammunition, magazine and trigger assembly.”

“Welcome to Gawker - 95% of the time the headline is an enormous distortion of what the article actually communicates.”

“as an aside who the fuck would care if we just sent cuba a missile shell?”

Um, that’s just an incomplete article intended to get clicks, exactly like this one. The very first source they cite, says right in its very first paragraph that it’s a dummy missile.

“Th missile was only disarmed, it was fully capable of everything but flying and exploding. It still had targeting and navigation components, this is factual, look it up.”

““Piracy doesn’t hurt AAA companies as much”

“No, piracy is a symptom of people wanting stuff for free.”

“the software on the missile, as well as how the missile interfaces with the platforms that use it,”

“I’m sure it could still deal a decent amount of damage from just the kinetic energy of the thing hitting the side of a building”

Nah, the Gawker story just conveniently leaves that out.

I suppose you’re correct. It’s a missile in the same way a broken nerf gun is still a “gun”.

It had no guidance system, no seeker head, no rocket motor, no fusing system, and no warhead. So basically they could have learned about as much as they’d learn by looking at pictures on Google Images.

Nice headline. Is a “missile” still a “missile” if it has no rocket motor, no guidance system, no seeker head, and no warhead?

You mean people die in war? That’s quite a revelation.

“But Iraqis were SUPPOSED to be waiving American flags when the US marched into Baghdad since they liberated them.”
