[Teeeroy]

BTW People got excited in 2009 over a contrail that also turned out to perfectly match a known flight.

NEWS BREAK!
Missile launch from Oklahoma in retalation for Chinese launch off of our coast!!
Its clearly evident this is a Missile launch, verified by the "correction" made just after launch.
Its clearly seen this missile is going straight up!
Anybody hear a news report on this?????

Did it hit the Chinese sub?

Did it hit the Chinese sub?

For all I know it hit a chinese subway shop
It was a great photo op, and just took advantage of the contrail.

Do you think the Chinese lack the will power or capability to do it?

Do you think the Chinese lack the will power or capability to do it?

just because they have the capability to do so, that doesn't mean have the idiocy to do so.

Once again, lack of proof that it was not a missile does not mean that it is a missile

Oh wait, we have proof that it wasn't a missile? crazy... the goverment must have made it up! Break out the tin foil hats!!

The US still has the badass-est conventional army in the world. The Chinese are not dumb enough to start a shooting war with us; just because we have trouble holding down an insurgency (and no-one has ever been good at holding down an insurgency) doesn't mean we can't pwn everyone in a fair fight.

Tell you what, I'm taking bets. The United States Marine Corps vs All Of China. PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!!!!

E: Based on the Marines I've known, all you need is one Marine to have a few too many beers in Shanghai and the next day the country is in anarchy.

It's obvious you don't know any Marines that were at the Cho-sun Reservoir.
