North Korea's launch of a missile over Japan was a prelude to more military operations directed at the American territory of Guam, North Korean state media warned Wednesday.

The country's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported leader Kim Jong Un presided over the dawn launch Tuesday of the "ultra-modern rocket system," the first missile ever fired from the capital Pyongyang.

North Korean officials told CNN in Pyongyang that Kim was "very satisfied with the performance of the missile."

The intermediate-range missile, identified by the North Koreans as the Hwasong-12, flew over Japan, further fueling tensions between North Korea and the United States and its allies, Japan and South Korea.

Early Wednesday, the US conducted a test intercept of a medium range ballistic missile off the coast of Hawaii, according to a statement from the US Missile Defense Agency.....

DEFSEC Mattis says if they shoot at Guam(America) its “game on”.

My house here on Guam has been buzzed all day by military jets. That doesn’t mean something is up but it is strange to see fighters and bombers in the air at the same time.

F16’s (I think) are actually louder than the bombers - or maybe just flying lower.

Smart move NORKS, threaten a former SAC dispersal base.

[353FMG]

What does that mean? We have uttered enough tough talk.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Flying OVER Japan is an act of war. We are obligated to defend them. It’s obvious we’re worried about what the UN and the American left thinks. We’re just gonna have to wait for them to cross the line with us b4 we do anything. Russia and the Chinese will know better than to mess with us in response.

[doorgunner69]

I really think the Japanese should pull their thumb out. Get a move on.

They have to know why we are reluctant to act, whereas they are perfectly justified in acting.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the height of the missile as it passed over Japanese territory.

Yeah, ok. Believe it when I see it. To those of us who get nearly all our news from non-US sources (other than the internet), it appears Kim is playing Trump like a bass drum.

And if it were a dry run for an EMP strike, would you be so discerning of the altitude?

[Garth Tater]

It’s just a fact. Don’t let it bother you.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

You got any clue what an EMP does to a modern civilization?

You don’t get it. Don’t let it bother you.

Bring it ya shrimp mofo. You’re gonna die. All ya.

It has been known for a long long time. You don’t know this, but again “Don’t let that bother you” that you are a dolt.

North Korea is no threat to us - the fat boy just needs an external enemy to keep his oppressed population scared and in line. It's Poly-sci 101.

Do you really think the North Korean leadership is intent on committing suicide? They've been putting on this "crazy" act for 60 years now and you know what? We're all still here and they're still acting crazy and their oppressed, information-starved population still believes their leaders when they tell them that the whole world is out to get them and only the Glorious Leader and his brave Generals can save them from the foreign devils. Every time we respond to their provocations we're playing right into their hands. Ignore them - sooner or later their people will have had enough and revolt.

Screw your academic poly sci 101 understanding of the world.

Here is what is actually going on. Chinese hawks are backing the Norks. The Norks are a proxy. These are old guard commies who do not like where China is going. They want to destroy the US and the moving towards capitalist change in China. The Nork Ministry of Funny Hats is the same vintage as the Chinese hawks. They are cooperating. By destroying the US this cabal will create chaos in the Chinese economy. They will step out front and center and re jack boot their population and instantly become the worlds only superpower.

Put that in your poly sci bong and smoke it.

Getting a little pissy there, aren’t you lezzie? I can understand your distress - those youtube videos scare me too LOL

Spend a lot of time arguing in front of the mirror, do you?
