North Korea launched a ballistic missile Sunday morning that flew around 430 miles, a South Korean military official said, in what appears to be the latest missile test in defiance of United Nations sanctions.
I believe we don’t have any.
But we might have a test model up there somewhere. Probably not active.
Who knows what kind of weapons we have. We probably have some pretty mean stuff that has never been talked about.
But space weapons I really think we followed the treaties regarding weapons in space.
Wonder if they are going to try to EMP someone.

For those of you who laugh at fat boy, you might want to read up on a very rarely mentioned War Game called “Operation Millennium Challenge”.
General Paul Van Riper used technology, not unlike what the Norks would use in a similar situation for his Red Team.
He took out 16 warships and a carrier which would have resulted in over 25,000 casualties using nothing but 1950’s technology.
This would’ve equaled an almost total destruction of the “superior American fleet”. Not only did the US military screw that war game up, they also changed the rules and “refloated” the blue team’s ships and started over.
I can easily see a similar situation happening around the Korea Peninsula if our military is just as cocky and reliant as they were on “modern electronic weapons” during OMC.
"George Rogers, Liberty Univ. CFO & VP ... In WWII George spent 3 1/2 as a POW, saw many of his fellow soldiers die during the Bataan Death March ...[Facing] the kind of barbarity we see today ... we are doing very well in countering it, you just hang in there ... you'll be hearing a lot about it next week from our generals." - Pres. Donald J. Trump, Liberty University Commencement Speech, 5/13/17
