I'm thinking of the part where it could accidently provoke the Russians into launching myself.

Why would the Russians launch you?

Hopefully into a wall.

The female rapper in question has no way to scare the pentagon into doing anything.

That's what would have made it a great thread. I shouldn't have been so naive about your talents...
His full name didn't fit, so I thought using her stage name as a stand in would be amusing. It's not that complicated.

Like your thought process in general.

Apparently the latest Lil Kim news is that she is angry about photoshopped pics.  "Real" her on the left and the photoshopping on the right.

I think the ABM system is a giant waste, for the most part.

But that article is so badly written, and so full of logical fallacies that I am thinking about becoming a supporter.

The basic argument is that we should not try to shoot down a fucking nuclear missile fired at the US, because it would take 5 missiles to shoot down 1, and 5:1 is a crappy exchange rate?

Or that we should not try to shoot down a nuclear armed ICBM fired at the US because if we do, surely the Russians, being drunk and all, will immediately launch a massive counter strike against the US? Gosh, couldn't we just, I don't know, call the fucking Russians on the phone and let them know?

You know America's mistake was to label North Korea as part of the 'Axis of Evil'.
To get their hopes up for an aggressive war and then dash them, by cruelling ignoring the regimes confrontational rhetoric is driving the North Koreans mad.    :(

Hasn't that been one of the main crticism of ABM systems since the beginning, that any aggressor state could simply build more missiles faster than we could build interceptors? If their reliability is so poor we need five interceptors to shoot down one missile, then it would seem that is a valid concern.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

I was watching some footage of NK aircraft taking off.  They use such a pretty shade of green.  Much nicer than the traditional Soviet green.

Only if we cannot afford to build interceptors at a faster rate than they can build ICBMs.

I don't think we could outspend North Korea.

Yeah, that is a losing proposition.

Of course, if they just have to build cardboard ICBMs, while we have to build real interceptors, THAT could be a problem...

America could build cardboard interceptors.... And then lie about them.   :smarty:
