US intelligence mistaken wind farm for missile silos
- gus_massa 5y agoI don't understand the title. Is there an update where they are reidentified as wind turbines?
- pinewurst 5y agoI notice the OP seems to specialize in China’s greatest hits.
- justicezyx 5y agoSure, it's not too different from most of people specializing in bashing China's greatest flaws. I think everyone, from the both camps, should welcome specialists like myself. Not because I helped China, but because I helped people better understand China. Makes sense?
- gus_massa 5y agoThe guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ask to use the original title. Small changes are sometimes ok, or sometimes the subtitle. If you are an specialist in this subject it's better to write a nice blog post explaining the errors in the identification. Looking at that photo, they are putting silos/turbines/flowerpots/whatever in what looks like the dry course of a seasonal river or stream. Is that a good idea?
