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.....

No doubt, but what is the bass drum to do? It’s not as though Kim is the only other instrument in the orchestra!

... and excuse me if that doesn’t make any sense!

The Media in this Country has more respect for Dictator Kim Jong In than they do President Trump.

Well I certainly can't top that, so I guess that means you've won this argument LOL

Keeping working out in front of that mirror, you'll figure out how it's done one of these days.

Hey! “Dear Leader” Kim! America will hate f*ck your face if it is necessary. If not today then tomorrow. Face it, America is ready to “face f*ck North Korea, the “shortbus” of nations, if your fat, stupid, lumpy self keeps shooting off your mouth.

As an earlier poster hinted, US military action against NK for what ever reason, is the same as military action against China - buy the fat one, get the mean one. China can nuke the US where ever and when ever it chooses (thanks to Billyboy Clinton and his Third Way philosophy).

Actually, he makes a good case and you came across as a bit poli-sci. TKO.

That’s what we need a good war to unify the nation and get factories working. Bring back the draft and give Trump War Powers! We could put the illegals in uniform and let them hit the beaches first—them that survives we make em citizens! A good 100 day war with Victory would be a shot in the arm. BUT I fear the Norks will get to shoot off an a-bomb or two. If War comes it will be Norks, Iran, an Cuba, and China vs, USA, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and England. Russia will join us at the last moment (when they see who is going to win).

Fatso is not going to stop until he causes a nuclear war between US and China.

If you ignore the sock puppet, Binkov has some interesting thoughts on the NK vs. Guam scenario.

Even is that were to happen, which is it won't, I'll bet Free Traitors™ will continue to tell us to keep trading with the ChiComs.

When "little fat boy" shoots out one of his rogue "test" missiles, why couldn't any country that said missile crosses over, have the right to shoot it down as a defensive measure? What if those missiles fail and fall on the country in question? More questions than answers this AM.

I can’t find anything on line which defines the altitude limits of an ADIZ. As far as I know the Japs had every right to shoot it down.

As stated, Mattis has your six. He will do all he can to support Tillerson’s plans for NO war knowing how to play word games but knowing more about war games.

On his way home to Seattle after being “let go” by the last administration he drove to speak to many his Gold Star Marine families in person.

Actually Chia Pet has screwed the pooch. Murdered the Chinese aligned opposition leader. Just fired a missile that appeared to be headed to Russia but flew over northern Japan. Even the Russians are evacuating people at their NK border.
