The samre destracting drama in a different form. It is ridiculous when they are both testing ballistic missiles as if they were in different continents while being right next to each other.
Please inform your enemy of your attack plans immediately. ....Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Mark Milley.

Yeah, well, South Korea (as well as every other ally of America) knows that with creepy pedo joe in charge, it’s every man (country) for himself.
Who ever fires will win. There won’t be enough time for the other side to issue the launch directive and actual counter launch.
If you were the leaders of South Korea, would you rest your fate in the hands and whims of the American government? Serious people do not chronically depend on foreigners for their safety and well being. The seventy year presence of the US military in Korea has psychologically weakened and made dependent the South Koreans. They would have been far better off if they had to confront the North Koreans on their own.
South Korea has a thriving economy, particularly in the tech sector, but also major automobile companies and much more. North Korea couldn’t even qualify as a 3rd world country, and have NO WAY to pay for anything. They couldn’t win an arms race with San Marino without being bolstered and supplied by certain nefarious neighbors.
A ballistic missile is any missile which is not terminally guided. There are a lot of short range ballistic missiles. North Korea and Iran are developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). The V-2 was a short range ballistic missile that had a lot in common with the Scud.
In the 1950’s the question was “Can the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) make ballistic missiles practical?” Without a compact warhead, there was not reason to make ICBMs. The V-2 was a wildly impractical weapon, with a ballistic accuracy of about 10 nautical miles over a range of 250 nautical miles. The question Allied intelligence asked themselves was not “How did they do it?”, but rather “Why?”. South Korea, who has no intention of attacking anyone further than North Korea, has no need for an ICBM. However, they certainly want to hold Kim Jong-un and other members of the North Korean leadership personally vulnerable and targeted.
If South Korea wanted to they could produce a nuclear weapon in less than two years. As could Switzerland or Sweden. Don’t even mention Japan. I always said the end result of Obama’s foreign policy would be a nuclear armed Japan. Now that we are in Obama’s third term, wait and see.
Thanks, Joe. #BidenEffect
It appears these were cruise missiles, not ballistic missiles.
Can’t we all just get along? /s😏
