I hope so. You read about laser beams being tested from time to time.
Seems like if we have that capacity, hitting them on the ground before
they launch would be the ideal time.
I though I heard that laser was on a boat.. near nk.
The threats will continue until the attack still being planned is executed. It's understandable that every option be exhausted before the unthinkable becomes reality.
Your post #14 is fully on the mark and explains precisely what is going on and why the Norks are taking so long to get the message. And I’m not saying they will get the message that Trump is serious. Of course they may not care.
Oh I guess throwing missiles over Japan doesn’t count.
Another dimension of this problem is China’s furtive support for NK. They are clearly an enabler and we need to make them pay a price for what is developing into an existential threat to us.
Additionally, Iran is watching the situation closely and what we do with regard to NK’s bellicose behavior. If we don’t constrain this little SOB Iran will get the wrong message and become even more problematic than it already is for us and the region in general.
There is a lot of international linkage involved in the NK problem which makes it a particularly wicked one for us. Our response has to be firm and we need to let it be known that the days of endless talk, political theater, and appeasement are over. The message needs to be that there is a new sheriff in town and the U.S. will act when threatened.
