The Palestinian rockets have the computing targeting power of a tenth of a Tom-Tom satnav.
Most of them missed.

The Palestinian rockets don't have a target computer. They have the accuracy of a bottle rocket with a grenade strapped on.

Though note that even then only 25-50% of the missiles is intercepted.

We must calculate the inevitable intergalactic war with the Catgirl space fleet into this!

Ah. I must have been thinking of some other missiles.
Also, what is the practical viability of using a bottle rockets with grenades strapped on as weapons? Our budget might stretch that far...

Don't go rushing things, we 're currently contemplating how to get to the DDR, let alone get to space.

As for an intergalactic Catgirl war. Hairballs + delicate machinery+ no gravity= Problem solved.

Not that well, unless you plan to bomb your own position.

However, the Palestinian rockets are propelled by a mixture of sugar and fertilizer. I think we can manage that.

Edit: Though those rockets are not particulary effective. From what I can see here, they have a more or less 1-1 wound ratio. (Ie, 1 palestinian wounded by failed launches for every Iranian wounded)

Taking over the DDR might be difficult - does anyone have a time machine? :P
But taking over Eastern Germany might be a good idea - no one in the relevant parts would care, anyway.

Are you still updating Clockwork Empires?

The DRC is failing. The Rebels in the east seized the Eastern Economic capital of Goma. Riots have sprung up all over the country.
 
I don't think we can compete with these rebels.

We don't need to compete. By the time we can put this plan into action one side wil probably have one anyway.

Mah boi, we need to mine all the way under the DRC, and then when the time comes, we cut down the last support holding it up. I mean this metaphorically of course. Have any of you played Just Cause 2?

Well, digging a hole that big would 1: Take a long time, 2: hit several underground things and 3: wouldn't leave a DRC to rule over.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

According to the news, there are only 3000 rebels Total. And they just took Goma from both the government and the UN army. They're preparing to march on Khinshasa, Le Capital.
 
Holy Shit we could actually do this.

We'd still probably be outnumbered, outgunned, and outtrained, not to mention across the Atlantic.
