40 minute flight??? Did it sprout wings and do a few laps around the border?

I know.

That seems quite long. In other words, almost 20 minutes straight up, then 20 minutes to fall back to earth.

I don’t know all the math, but there was probably a time when it was moving slowly near the top, as it was rising but slowing down in decreased gravity, so the reversal and eventual fall would also be slow initially. But it seems they were close to orbital altitude, maybe.

Long flight, to basically come right back down almost where it started.

One of these days one of these missiles is going to clobber a fishing boat or crash into someone’s house in Japan and hurt someone.

Why don’t we take target practice on the missiles when they come towards Japan?

...That’s a long flight, to basically come right back down in waters very near where it took off.

Just saying...........

there is a reason for that.
the missiles go 2000 miles almost straight up,

as a way of testing them with intention
of sending them 4000 miles downrange
in a war

Lol, i'll be really laughing when the next one drops right in the middle of Tokyo at midday rush hour!

Maybe then the Chinese government will kick out fat boy in a 40ft container than face a nation of very pissed off Japanese.

Obama won’t show up in Poland because the Polish pres. opposed the EU/Merkel/Obama Globalist Agenda.

Remember his “Asian Pivot”....He’s rounding them up....and any who can and will continue to support the Global Agenda. So he’ll only be going where theirs a chance of support for his legacy and the Global Agenda.

It didn’t blow up on the launch pad and plopped in the Sea of Japan. Time to panic. Not! :-)

I fail to understand the attitude with some around here that this is funny and/or no big deal. You seem to know a lot about the region and culture. What is your take on all this?

Russia and China tells the U.S. to stop deployment of the missile shield as their partner with Russian/Chinese parts and missile tech. launches another test and butterball crows that he can hit the continental U.S. now in Alaska with that missile. Someone tell Putin/Xi that, “sure we don’t need a missile defense as their puppet plays at starting WW3”. I guess Putin would disable all his defenses if we just told him to, right ?/s

It would wonderful and not impossible that President Duda would be very busy and maybe out of the country...

Or even better, take the meeting and have Duda inform him that he’s breaking US law...
