Japanese title of article: 北朝鮮が対日警告、「衛星迎撃なら軍事的手段」
My translation: "North Korea Delivers Warning To Japan: You Shoot Down The Satellite, We Will Take Military Measures"

I think NK’s memory is very short, she forgets who Japan is and what she is capable of.
Nobody is going to do anything about this launch except tough talking.Let them do it and we can see what they got.
If they are stupid enough to fire it over Japan then they should expect it to be shot down.
If they are serious about launching a “satellite” and not doing this for attention then they can simply put it up over China or Russian airspace with a flight plan that puts it out of range of our missiles.
Where they fire it will show exactly what they are looking to prove.
Gates already said, “We can’t”.
What he meant was, “We won’t”.
Pathetic.
I hope Japanese PM Taro Aso doesn’t succumb to North Korea’s threats. They need to shoot down North Korea’s missile(s).
Trash it on the launch pad!
The exact quote from North Korea tonight was something like "if they lay a hand on it, we will take the strongest military measures and shall crush into a fine powder Japan's inner citadel" (refering to destroying Japan into a million pieces). (probably thinly-veiled threat to destroy Japan's Imperial Palace)
Japanese: 最も強力な軍事的手段によってすべての迎撃手段とその牙城を無慈悲に粉砕する」と警告した。韓国の聯合ニュースが伝えた
Trying to intimidate the Japanese never works unless you actually have an atomic bomb in your pocket.
With all due respect, just what the hell could NK do to Japan anyway, other than lob a few missles their way?
Japan is just likely to go Tora-Tora-Tora on Comrade Chia Pet’s stroke-impaired ASS.
Who doesn’t think that Japan could reduce North Korea’s pathetic military ‘machine’ to wreckage inside of a week?
They would have to, because the Usurper in the White House isn’t going to do jack sh!t.
In a perfect world, there would be simultaneous “mishaps” with the missile in flight and the USS Pueblo at dock.
The North Koreans are the victims!!
According to acedamia America,if Japan would only share and “spread their wealth” around Asia, an utopia paradise could be created, eliminating the need for the threat of violence.

This means that the NK planned flight path will go over Japan.
I still say Japan does nothing.
Didn’t the U.S. already say we were going to do nothing.
Another N. Korean BLUFF!
Obama could stop this launch easily.
All he needs to do is promise hundreds of tons of food, millions of barrels of oil, and a team of Hughes rocket scientists to perfect their satellite launch technology!
I’m just so wound up.
Six decades ago, my relatives fought against the bravest men on the planet - the Americans. They have passed away, but they always maintained their respect to the “Amerika jin” for their courage and determination to defend their country. WE LOVE BRAVE MEN.
In England, many Muslims asked me why the Japanese support the country that dropped nukes on us. I said, it’s because they were brave and really did their best.
Now, where are the real Americans, who love to fight? As General George Patton said, real Americans love to fight, and I still believe that.
If the freaking commies bomb us, I bet our nation will be absolutely out of control. We occupied Korea for 36 years, invested a lot, and doubled their population - believe it or not. WE WILL NOT DO THAT NEXT TIME.
I’ve dusted off my radio operator’s certificate. I will go home and join the JGSDF if necessary. F-ck my career in engineering. There won’t be any value in my PhD from Manchester University if our nation disappears.
