The Area 51 thing theoretically isn't until September 20 so you still have plenty of time to make plans to get there. The facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/448435052621047/

I want this to happen.

Clancy did have an ecoterrorist book and it was way, way better than blowing up oil facilities. It had greenpeace stand-ins genetically engineering Ebola to be more virulent and spreading it through the ventilation at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in order to kill humanity to save the planet

That book was so outrageously stupid and I love it.

And it spawned a super successful video game series

The way a virus becomes successful is the same way you get to Carnegie Hall.

And Ebola Reston, even though it's not *currently* lethal to humans, is still transmissible to us and has shown evidence of airborne transmission.

Most oil tanks - and especially the tanks that'd be at that facility - are designed to 'blow out and burn' rather than explode. Look up oil tank fires on Youtube. You'll find *some* explosions, but most of them just show a tank burning from the top like a big tea candle.

I thought a no bullshit cure/vaccination for Ebola was developed recently?

Doesn't the Army consider it's attack choppers a maneuver force not close air support?

You don't even need to be enlisted or a veteran to enjoy it. Sometimes it's a bit acronym-heavy but you can usually work it out by context. Overall it's just good quality institutionalised incompetence!

America is not the greatest military on the planet.

We are just the least worse.

as always, be aware of the limitations of using PRC state media as an authoritative source, but ...this seems pretty consistent throughout the PLAN.

I dunno if they can fight, but they build a drat pretty ship.

They were bragging about turning the flight deck into a football pitch by taking a picture of a football pitch with the ship in the background

So why was the Russian navy parking a decommissioned sub in a decommissioned floating dock in the middle of a relatively valuable naval base? Surely there are better places to store something that size.

Yeah, next to the Kursk.

This might be the dumbest, most irresponsible SA related thing I’ve heard in the past month

Let that roll around in your head a moment given our last month.

Communicating classified discussions on a classified network is irresponsible?
