Syrian Rebels Build Tank With Gamepad Controller

[Owen Robertson]

I blame the UN for being a dictatorship of Russia, China, France, America and the UK, based on outdated ancient legislation based on the outcome of WW2. An organization that supposedly represents all the nations on the world and does so to further peace and prosperity should NOT be rules by 5 states who can decide whenever they want to veto military action against dictators. Either everyone has a right to veto, or nobody has a right to veto.

See Israel as a prime subject for Abuse of veto by America. In Syria however the case is slightly different as of course the Russian and Chinese dictatorships are scared that one day they to might be toppled if they continue to support these rebellions against dictatorships. So yes China and Russia veto to safe their own hides, America does it because Assad is their buddy, much like Mubarak and many other dictators who help them keep the status quo.

The Security Council is supposed to let military superpowers go to war without destroying the planet. All it does is perpetuate the belief that countries are evil. Self-interest (see: Realpolitik) governs everything done by every member of the U.N. The problem with the U.N. isn't the legislation, it's the people. People who are not the least bit interested the the obvious best-interests of the planet and humanity (like fucking space travel), but rather the furthering of their own bullshit form of control (like puppet regimes). I hate the members of the U.N. (not countries, but people) but I love the idea behind it. At least it stops some of the world building, but it keeps us stagnant.

They should've used a Wii motion controller. Or a Project Natal motion control.

I call bullshit on the whole stopping a 23mm cannon round, not unless they are at least 600m away and it hits the plate at an angle at 75° or more. Under those conditions it likely wont penetrate but as you correctly point out unless it has an inner spall liner the interior will be filled with sparks and shrapnel anyway.

Maybe the inside is lined with old game boys? That should stop anything short of a direct hit from Godzilla

OT: Ingenious but also quite sad.

That doesn't quite look like it'll hold against fire for very long... more like a metal death trap.

Looks like something WH40k orkz would put together, minus the lack of red of course.
