When I looked up the word “Ballistic” in the dictionary, it had a picture of my ex wife!!! Described her very well.
Trump should direct someone to locate a few old Nike Hercules missiles. Tell Dog Boy these were are earliest anti missile defense. Load them up with the high yield 35KT warheads and upon the next launch of one of his missiles launch these. Point out these were the ones we used 50 years ago, current stuff much better. Also note that we forgot to set them for intercept mode and unfortunately targeted his various missile launch facilities. Repeat as necessary.
I live in Hawaii , We remember Pearl Harbor here . One beautiful , peaceful Sunday morning . No one expected a thing . Until it happened . I do not want to wait until a brilliant flash is seen coming from the direction of Oahu . Take them down in detail NOW . Don’t wait .
And so it begins... ;-) Or not.
Cruise missiles are not considered ballistic because they do not fly in an arc.
Exactly so.
Defer your reactions only enables more of the same.
One of these days, a missile will have some kind of explosive inside and you wouldn’t know until it hit....................
Per CNN Breaking News:(Possibly Fake)
Washington (CNN)North Korea fired a ballistic missile early Wednesday local time, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
CNN confirmed the launch with the South Korean military leaders who said it was still flying.
“North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile early this morning from Pyongsong, South Pyongan, to the east direction. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff is analyzing more details of the missile with the US side,” said an official at South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
US defense and intelligence officials had been growing increasingly puzzled as to why North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had not tested a ballistic missile in nearly two months.

UPDATE: “[President Trump] was briefed, while missile was still in the air, on the situation in North Korea,” Press Secretary Sanders says
In 1950 , both MacArthur and LeMay wanted to use American nukes to decimate the on-coming Red Chinese Army and retreating NK forces .
Truman disallowed that and went on to fire MacArthur .
For lack of American forceful resolve to WIN the war and crush the enemy ( before they too developed nukes ) brought on the present day situation on the Korean peninsula , established the Communist state of the PRC in China , resulted in the ‘Cultural Revolution ‘in China , resulted in the Chinese takeover of Tibet and sustained challenges to India . Resulted in the VIETNAM WAR ....Is resulting in the slow motion Chinese take over of the entire South China Sea and hegemony throughout SEA , and will probably result in a limited Pacific region ‘world war’ at some point in the future .
Truman should have listened to LeMay then . Is it too late now ? Probably . Seize victory when it is first available . Don’t wait .
wow, these guys are saying that Yonhap source says the Nork launch was from a submarine, that would be huuge
@PMBreakingNews
“BREAKING: Reports indicate that missile launch was from a North Korean submarine.”
“Source for news is Yonhap, a South Korean based news agency. Still waiting for confirmation, but if true, it is a significant development.”
There would be LOTS of reports if it was shot down.
That’s kinda the game at this point: they lob stuff harmlessly, and people largely ignore it.
We won’t shoot it down unless someone is actually at risk, so that we can justify interfering with their “test” which really isn’t one at that point.
And the concern is that if that happens, it’s basically the onset of war, at which point NK unloads 30,000 x N artillery shells on Seoul, killing a few million people, minutes after which NK basically ceases to exist.
Hence the reluctance to shoot anything down.
What did the Sea of Japan ever do to NK to deserve such continued wrath?
