Why do they tell the world these things?

[Red Badger]

They have to tell that they are testing a Minuteman missile else somebody might get the wrong idea................

“Why do they tell the world these things?”

Because they tell the world there is a launch scheduled, ocean and airspace areas are closed, so it becomes obvious the launch failed.

[G Larry]

They ALWAYS tell the world of upcoming launch schedules....so they know its an Ops Test.

So, when it doesn't go as scheduled, announcements are of no consequence.

[JD_UTDallas]

We ALWAYS advise all the other world nuclear powers this is just a test launch otherwise the risk of them thinking it’s a live launch is too great. They do the same thing well except North Korea little rocketman doesn’t play by the civilized world rules.

[gr8eman]

Because they want to brag that they hired the best and brightest woke intersectional people that were trying real hard!

[redgolum]

Pretty hard to hide.

Old missile, probably not maintained. Just like a lot of our nukes.

[Gene Eric]

Cuz that’s the MO of the POS occupying the White House.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

They have to shut down the Union Pacific railroad line for hours, costing the Air Force something like a million dollars a day. Having the railroad shut down and not seeing a launch which is visible from a thousand miles away is a tip off. Back in the day, they used to delay launches to let Russian spy ships get on station. We *wanted* the Russians to see them.

[liberalh8ter]

Because they want us to fail....period.
