Are they stupid enough to really do this? (Rhetorical question) I guess my question is...what are the odds they WILL do this?
Is what you're referring to- all the preparing- SOP? It seems from what I'm reading that everyone is taking this fairly seriously..
So good it's not worth the vig.
I wonder if that missile might suffer a slight "accident" on the launch pad :-)
Yes, they are quite stupid enough to do this. And palm it off somehow as a 'satellite test', or that they 'put the satellite into orbit. Of course, we will know what it truly is and what they goal is. They will be approaching the red line if you ask me. They are asking for severe US retaliation if they pull this off.
