Believe this, World War III is NOT going to start over this missile launch.
Nope. Not this launch, but I wouldn't rule out NK as the flash point.
Only if Beijing decides it is 'time' for such a conflict. They hold the leash around Comrade Chia Pet's head, and unless the ChiComs believe there is more to be gained by military confrontation with the U.S. than there is to continue the economic warfare it is currently engaged in, we will see lots of rhetoric, lots of chest-thumping, but we're not going to see missiles flying from one continent to another. The United States is worth more to Beijing intact, vaporizing major cities and military-industrial targets only reduces the value of their new acquisitions.

But the Chinese now know exactly how to neutralize Japan so their new carrier fleet can operate freely in the Pacific. Obama and the idiots in DC have shown them the way through their own stupidity.
