    First: Fuck CNN. That sub looks nothing like the shadow. They don’t NAME any US officials. The Center for a New American Security is a fucking think tank. They use Maxar because it’s free and they are a bunch of losers.

    Second: Get a map and find Wuhan.

    Edit:

    Got at least one downvote without an explanation. I assume it’s for bursting the bubble.

    Okay. Explain YOUR bubble bursting logic. You say a nuclear sub MUST have been in Wuhan and the two photos are in Wuhan. I don’t agree at all. The two piers don’t look alike for a start. And who is really the source of that CNN image of a sub? A US think tank: professional bullshitters basically.

    Your gotcha moment is no good. You’re the one in the bubble. It’s such a speculation and scramble to justify the propaganda that China made a boo-boo.

    The media have to provide good evidence for a story. They have cried wolf so many times when it comes to China. Their record is dogshit. Unless they have solid evidence, I wouldn’t believe one word of theirs.

      First: Fuck CNN.

      Sure. I agree. I didn’t read the article. I posted it for the picture.

      That sub looks nothing like the shadow.

      Yeah, no shit. I said that. I don’t think the shadow is supposed to be the sub, like the post is implying. That would be dumb if that’s what it was saying. The water is far too murky to see anything though, so it’s dumb to make that assumption. The cranes are doing something though. They aren’t there for no reason. The cranes are in the exact spot where a sub was previously being outfitted. What the cranes are doing is unknown, but I’m sure they didn’t just move them into that position for no reason. Take from it what you will. I’m sure you have a brain that you can think with on your own.

      Second: Get a map and find Wuhan.

      I know where Wuhan is. I explained that in my comment. It’s very far inland up a river. Rivers connect to the sea and subs can move in water. There are many advantages to having a shipyard so far inland, as I listed above. The fact the shipyard exists I’m assuming you don’t question, right? If not, why couldn’t a sub be built there?

      You say a nuclear sub MUST have been in Wuhan and the two photos are in Wuhan. I don’t agree at all. The two piers don’t look alike for a start.

      I rotated the image and placed it next to the OP’s for you. Look at the position of the building on the shore, and the position and color of the crates on the dock. They’re the same place, or they are oddly identical.

      Your gotcha moment is no good. You’re the one in the bubble. It’s such a speculation and scramble to justify the propaganda that China made a boo-boo.

      I don’t care if China made a mistake. Literally everyone does. It shouldn’t be this much of an issue. The fact China can’t have made a mistake, in your mind, is the issue.

      Edit: I went to the WSJ article to grab the original higher quality image, because it was shit in the OP to make it easier to compare.

        The cranes are doing something though.

        And you are speculating with a theory. And then calling me unreasonable for NOT buying it.

        The fact China can’t have made a mistake, in your mind, is the issue.

        Where did I ever say that?

        I am talking about media doing crap articles. It’s speculation with some bad photos that don’t provide evidence of it. And they all parrot the same shit. You understand that journalism should be better that this ?

        I’m done.

          No, I’m calling you unreasonable for assuming it couldn’t be possible. You even implied it would be crazy to think they build subs in Wuhan. That’s obviously wrong.

          I assume you don’t deny there was a sub here now, like you did earlier. What do you think the cranes might be doing?

          I honestly don’t care. I originally uovited the post, until I thought for a second about how dumb it would be if they were talking about the shadow, then I sought more information. The only reason I’m posting is people pretending that they were being outrageously stupid and must be lying. Clearly it’s not that stupid to think a sub could have sunk here. Whether it did or not I don’t know, but I can’t really think of what these cranes would be doing otherwise.
