    It's a submarine, it's supposed to sink.

      What if the setback was they were gonna carry out an underwater gommunism plot by heading to bazinga brain territory, then test weapons on a specific bazinga brain vessel? Their target it turns out was the billionaire sub that exploded on its own, so they went home before they could finish their assignment.

      Why would a vertical crane cast a shadow in a different direction than an angled crane? Shadows always point in the same direction, obviously. smuglord The sneaky ccp must be up to something...

    Lmao China do stupid can you believe their latest gen military technology is having trouble.

    On an unrelated note anybody know if its supposed to rain anytime in the next week I was hoping to take my f35 out for a spin and didn't want to get my head chopped off by the canopy when I have to eject because it can't fly in anything other than perfect conditions.

    The comparatively poor quality of these images means it is difficult to conclude if the two previous events are connected in any way and - crucially - if they actually show a specific submarine at berth.
