The missile body turns white because of air friction (mainly because it's pulling 100gs of acceleration) http://i.imgur.com/gtDR7RT.mp4 Missile Command didn't happen in a vacuum, you know. Also I think this is successful test #10 out of a total of 18?

enraged_camel posted:It is oversimplified because like I said I don't want to turn this into the Middle East thread. There's no non-risky options when it comes to Syria, even doing nothing. The only reason the Kurds weren't armed before was because Flynn was bribed by Turkey to block it, because Turkey's current proto-dictator created a new civil war against the Turkish Kurds (which had been effectively solved when they renounced violence years ago) to crush Kurdish parties that were in the opposition and drum up support for dictatorial powers in a referendum. There are no good options in Syria and it's definitely possible we come to regret it, but looking back at the mujaheddin isn't really all that useful here (not least, because those weapons didn't wind up getting used against us: our allies at that time turned into the enemies of today, but 9/11 happened with some box cutters and other knives, not the CIA-supplied weapons). But supporting any side in the Middle East is always going to come with serious risks because the region simply isn't stable and isn't going to be for some time.

I honestly thought Booker was smart enough that he would go hard left for a few years and at least fake a Bernie conversion. But nope, he that dumb or that bought.

I don't think he's "bought" because he's certainly not expecting any additional money from the Kushners for his 2020 campaign. I think he's just been around those sort of people so long he instinctively leaps to their defense.

Doing the math, Obama has over 55 million real followers to Trump's ~15 million. Trump only gained about 7.5 million real Twitter followers by becoming president of the United States lol

It's funny but ultimately probably not his decision. Aside from the Russian bots I wouldn't be surprised if RWM/alt-right/the_donald guys were the ones buying the followers for him independently, given how much their ego seems to depend on their imaginary number of followers of their god emperor and/or them thinking that it's a sick troll to own liberals with.
