This explains my 3rd arm.
[QUOTE=OvB;33985530]"Oh yeah sure, you can test your multiple warhead ballistic nuclear missile by launching it at us, sure, no problem!"
That sounds incredibly careless and idiotic. Even though they weren't armed.[/QUOTE]
Lol what? If they weren't armed what are you bitching about? Absolute worst case scenario is a giant hunk of metal falls on someone's house. Which it won't, because they were firing it into the ocean.
I'm guessing they were testing if missiles could still detonate if they were upside down.

Coming from the country of SOPA and NDAA... On topic I don't see the problem with testing unarmed missiles over a long distance, its not like they were shooting these things at civilians.

Unless those missiles were loaded with something that makes mass incest, then nope.
I find the name of the missile hilarious.
Peacekeeper.

Tasmania was all hot and bothered for Americas huge, throbbing, thrusting warhead.

You might be right. Look what they found along with this document;

Cool plan, guys.
I don't see the problem with this. Australia agreed to have unarmed missiles launched at a island that at that time had a population of no more than 300,000 and the worst thing that could happen is that it veers a couple miles off course and hits barren land instead of it's intended target of barren land.
If you guys have a problem with this, then why aren't you flipping out over the US actually detonating nuclear weapons on it's own territory or in other countries like the Marshall Islands. I guess my point is that it was the Cold War, a lot of countries agreed to these kinds of deals and the majority of them were completely safe.

Actually, if you read the second line of the article, it says they were being launched into the ocean.
Iirc US planned to drop two nuclear bombs on Finland.
Thanks alot, what matters most is the thought.
