Yes completely unrelated to current events I’m sure.
Apparently planned years in advance.
This launch, designated GT 255, was scheduled years ago, and is not in response to world events.
Maybe not world events of the last week, but certainly of the last century or so.
I need them to define years ago. Because Krasnov has been dying to nuke something, so i don’t buy for a second any “readiness” tests scheduled by him.
GTs or “Glory tests” have been done quarterly for decades at this point, hence being on GT-255, with the first being 63 years ago when the Minuteman was new. They’re meant to show that we can pull any random sample of our ground-based ICBMs and they’ll function, along with collecting data on how the fleet performs as it ages, among many other things. They have nothing to do with Trump, fortunately.
They do that from time to time, so maybe it is unrelated.
Anyway, some news org reporting it isn’t unrelated.
Holy shit. Please lead with the “in a test” part!
Fair, I put a note in the headline, I can see how that might be a little bit of a jumpscare headline… one could argue it is the most jumpscare headline possible other than “ASTEROID INCOMING”.
Lol, thanks. As I read that headline I had 2 second of building panic.
Fine, “In a test US accidentally launches live ICBM at Mar a Lago”
Are we back to nuke
testshazards again?New Spongebob about to drop?
North Korea shit. Like so much of Trump’s America, it’s beneath us.
North Korea shit
We’ve been planning and demonstrating launch capabilities since we’ve had them.
We’ve always been one of those countries and we’ve been living in a Pleasantville propaganda bubble OUR ENTIRE LIVES.
I really hope you guys receive the wake-up call and get your shit together. I really liked the pre-Trump USA, but now it’s down to one star.
You liked the illusion of the USA, but before the World Wars we were a brutal and racist country committing horrible acts of genocide and slavery within our own borders and abroad.
We decided to end slavery, but not entirely - you’re still a slave if you get convicted of a crime. We decided to acquire other countries and exploit their resources without compensation, but we realized that if we did that like Germany tried, we’d look bad. So, we send secret agents to affect change and install puppet governments who give us what we want.
The United States has always been a brutal nation of desperate min maxing capitalism and the wake of destruction we have left behind will forever scar the history of our species and, perhaps, might already be the end.
We cannot forgive ourselves simply because life was comfortable within the empire for those who played by the rules.
USA didn’t. What do you think lead to Trump?
This is probably not related to the Iran War, which makes it twice as ironic.
Maybe they should ha e perfected the nuclear deterrent system before starting a war with a potential nuclear power state? Just a thought…
