China doesn’t need to push like that - they’ll have Taiwan “back” within twenty years, anyway. I don’t think they have any more control over the Boy King than we do. The short-term hit to their economy from a new war on the Korean peninsula would be a lot worse than the hit to our own.

The little dictator is looking at the billions we’re pouring into Afghanistan and Iraq, and wants some of what they got.

This is “The Mouse That Roared” all over again!

Hopefully it won’t turn out the same (Surrender of the US).

This prof of astronautics says North Korea’s December 2012 ICBM satellite launch was more advanced than the media and US gov’t sources are saying. Watch his video starting around the 15:00 minutes mark.

“Professor of Astronautics Mike Gruntman uses principles of ASTE 520 Spacecraft Design to look at the North Korea satellite launch on December 12, 2012.”

A free opportunity to invade the mainland US on the backs of probably China and Russia.

American response will only be attacks on missile sites and possibly some other military targets. They will be annihilated and the NK question will go away.

“the NK satellite does not or did not pass over the USA but if it is in a polar orbit it will at some point in time pass over every point on Earth including the USA so I am confused about that.”

You can watch the track of the North Korean satellite on these two websites. The satellite’s code is KMS 3-2 (NORAD 39026).

It travels directly over the US often. This link will give you a list of future times. Click the “Show all passes” button and then click the Map checkbox next to each one:

Why can’t the NOKOs put the missle on a ship and sail within range of the US? If they don’t have the ability to hit us from there, put the entire launching system on a boat and float it closer to the target. Certainly they have the ability to do that.

The future passes show it going over central texas (and the midwest) and the north east USA numerous times.

From another source:

Personally, I think their satellite is a test. Don't let them launch another one.

You can read the same technical information that is out there that I have read. I have been told that EMP is not as easy as just igniting a nuke bomb at high altitude. I am not an expert but I do know that the norks have less than they want you to think that they have.

That is possible... but then they would have used it by now.

He can... but he probably does not have a nuke small enough to ride that missile.
