USN's Standard 1 Missile is capable of taking it down, they scored a hit on a simulated warhead in the terminal phase a few weeks ago...
My worry is that the DPK trashed and will blame it on us, use it as an excuse to start the march south...

He's out of cash and his military is going to kill him if they don't get money, so he has nothing to lose by doing this.

The SM-1 is a much older missile. Our ship based ABM weapon is the SM-3.

Boiled frog?

They may be trying to desensitize world opinion by making a number of provocative baby steps, ending with the launch of a long range missile. The thinking may be, that with NK missiles going off all time, there's no threshold crossed, no point at which American public opinion turns decisively in favor of action against NK.

Remember 9-12-01? Who would have thought that the American public would become tired of the WOT this quickly and this easily?

just toss it over to Brett Baier and let him talk, instead they are going to a segment on the Grucci fireworks.

Ailes should fire this producer now.

My take.

This is a face saving operation so the wack job in charge can tell his starving masses he wasn't intimidated by the USA.
