I understand what you’re saying.
You might just be right.
We may know in a week or so. You may be right, Kim may be ready to throw the future of Korea way up in the air.
Or he may not be.
It is difficult to know now.
I suspect there may be some reason to be concerned, but then again, I think Kim and Trump have (had?) A very good relationship.
I myself, sincerely hope Kim finds a way to de-escalate.

Either that or we take it out once it reaches altitude - something with plausible deniability. We don't want Kim to take out his humiliation on Seoul.
Then we would be forced to nuke the Norks, with all kinds of unintended consequences.

My bet its a “test” that will hit Near Guam or Hawaii (Maybe Midway) just to show what they can do.
To: Perseverando
Putin and China are working around the clock to harm Trump and the US....and Kim is very unstable.

Really? You think I might be right?
To: Perseverando
Fake news.
The headline claim that the US is on high alert is a HUGE stretch!
Here is what was actually said:
Defense Secretary Mark Esper told reporters earlier this week that the U.S. has heard all the talk of a possible upcoming test around Christmas.

Shoot it out of the sky and tell the Norks it’s a Festivus Miracle.

Be funnier if it was a test that ended quickly with the loss of another mountain in NK.

South Korean tour, after Kimmy does something foolish:
"And, Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see there isn't much left of Pyongyang after the now powdered leader and fool Kim Jung-un made a foolish miscalculation.
Don't mess with the Trump"

Upon ANYTHING entering US airspace, we drop a neutron bomb on whatever crap-pile is Rocketman’s current palatial estate, and real MOABS on any launch site. Drop the hammer, free NK, and let MILLIONS of starving Norks flood north to China.

Why is the whole US on high alert for an empty missile fired into the ocean?
To: Perseverando
I am not clear how NK is a credible threat here. What exactly could be their end game? Any aggression against the USA via missiles would only ensure their extinction.

"I am not clear how NK is a credible threat here. What exactly could be their end game? Any aggression against the USA via missiles would only ensure their extinction."
Once becoming a nuclear power, a nation/government has extraordinary negotiating influence. That is their end game. Still, the Norks know of our Tridents and wouldn't dare shoot one of their icbm's into our air space. As I always say, Tridents are why I sleep well at night. God love our Submariners who are the best in the world and sacrifice so much.
BTW, I love this new Space Force that the President had the foresight to create. China and Russia and probably others are looking at space for a new cold war. We need to be on our game to counter.
