US Conducting Military Exercises with North Korea.
Kim has been threatening to start a nuclear war and we’re worried we might make him mad?
“two sources briefed on the planning told the Guardian”.
FIRE THEM!
He’s already mad but we may make him angry!
In order for them to get shot down, they have to first get off the ground.
An unarmed missile test while provocative should likely not be shot down lease it provoke Kim into all out war. An artillery and missile attack on Seoul would be a likely result and quickly escalate to an all out war. An armed missile launch would be another matter.
Thank you for showing some common sense.
.....”officials worry that ‘intercepting missiles’ could escalate tensions and risk war”......
What a stupid statement!....would they rather just let them fly and reach whatever Ol Kim chooses to target?
The iron dome really makes Palestinian nutcases mad as well!
Do it, President Trump!
RE: An artillery and missile attack on Seoul would be a likely result and quickly escalate to an all out war. An armed missile launch would be another matter.
Can we know whether it is armed or not?
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad................
No, the politicians are not worried about making him mad. Apparently they have already decided to go to war. What they are trying to do now is get close enough to the line to make the other guy step over.
In other words, they want a war but dont want to be seen as wanting a war. No one wants to be blamed for starting it.
We just showed the norks how to launch a rocket. Period. Done. In your face.
Kims the moving party here, playing at war. What’s changed is leaders have determined he needs to stop one way or another , and dismantle his nuclear ambitions. Thats it.
PS Atlas launch is up from the Cape!
RE: In order for them to get shot down, they have to first get off the ground.
The strange thing is this -— they have gotten off the ground in previous tests in the past.
Curiously, the last two tests ( including the one last week ) just totally FAILED.
Makes you want to go — hmmmm....
I wonder though, does firing a missile towards a country constitute an act of war?
In other words, would Japan be justified in retaliating against the DPRK after a successful missile test in the Sea of Japan?
We should be deploying THAAD up and down the pacific coast and canadian border in the west. The launch is going to come from a submarine.
