Crazy stuff. I looked at the CCTV footage and it didn't look like a prank actually?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It does not melt your face like in The Rock though.

Scary
Note to self, stop rubbing eyes with people.
Heard a very concerning report on this earlier. VX nerve agent is extremely poisonous. Second only to nuclear in terms of mass death if weaponized. Apparently developed in the UK, only a few countries have it, and they thought all existing supplies had been accounted for. That means N. Korea obtained it or made it. Both are worrying. On a side, they thought Syria had some and some of their material went missing, you know as ISIS got involved.

There are question marks over whether VX was used in the attack.

I mean, it's not unexpected but still, oh shit.
This is a good read.
Interesting... Either Trump comes out and declares it a #fakeicbm
Or he has to react as if they have said icbm which could range from a nasty tweet through sanctions to military action.
Hard to imagine any of that de-escalating the situation
How decent are the NK subs? Easy to detect and take out? They showed off some missiles capable of being launched from subs.
They do put on an impressive parade tbf.
They don't hold back do they....
The parade isn't, it's the increasingly provocative positions of Kim regarding nukes that is. Although debuting the presence of ICBMs at the parade may not help matters
I've always wondered what all those medals are for, the senior military have...
Some of them look like they're wearing Josephs technicolour dream coat

It isn't ramping up tensions same as both sides annual military exercises don't ramp up tensions.
Amazing stuff.
Can't see Trump not responding in some way to them bullishly showing off the ICBM. No idea what he'll do but I guess we'll have to wait until after his round of golf.
Read an article that in almost all military parades the missiles are just mock ups afterall you don't want one going off in the middle of a crowd.
For all anyone knows they could have been made out of recycled cardboard.
Do you not remember this?

I think they probably are fake @langster but I still expect Trump to respond in some way, but probably just a tweet though.
It's one of the infamous photoshopped North Korean military pictures where they exaggerated the numbers of certain types of craft etc. I think it was 2013.
I sincerely hope that is all he does.
See my above post the missiles used in parades normally are mock ups. Even the soviets used mock ups. Best to avoid having a real missile in the middle of a crowd.
Yeah and they do love those huge parade grounds in the middle of their cities. All looks very surreal.
I might be naïve but I'm not overly worried about North Korea really, they put on these parades all the time. Some of those 'missiles' probably aren't even legit, just glorified toys. All those people cheering and worshiping them are only doing that because they've either been brainwashed or they're scared because if they're not seen celebrating they'll be brown bread. The people of that country are starving and it's virtually on its knees, if they didn't have the support from China they would be screwed.
I also think this is likely more theatre than substance. That said, the problem isn't going away anytime soon since they do have nukes and are quite blatantly using them as leverage to reduce sanctions, whereas the U.S. sees the very fact of a totalitarian state with nukes in 2017 as an unacceptable threat to the world order.
Are we at war yet?
Yeah, i just sunk your battleship
We never ended the last one.
Which, sadly, is now a brim full of irony.
There's no irony at all. I'd rather have a democratic state with rules, norms and human rights tot have them than a totalitarian shit show like North Korea.
The stamina on the guy. Just standing there and waving for nearly 3 hours.
Must have those perfect genes.
It's a shame Kim fatty the thirds old man is dead... he and trump could probably have bonded over a round of golf
So Fatler got scared to try the big bomb today?
I just came here to post this. I bet that Kim is shitting himself right now.
