N Korea 'test-fires ballistic missile'

Strong leaders go around starting wars, right?

Strong leaders finish them, regardless of who started them.

The moon is dark.

Perfect time for a fireworks show to celebrate 100 days in office.

Hmm all those failed missile tests tell me a different story. It's possible that someone infiltrated Fat Kims missile program and managed to sabotage them. I'm no expert or anything but it seems the missile program didn't really advance in the last decade.

We may want to start monitoring for seismic activity in and around Pyongyang.
At least we'll have a heads up before it hits msm.

How do the West implement a just attack without killing civilians? Surely the strategy should be a locally focused attack to remove Kim and push for a cultural revolution? Rather than a sledgehammer session.

How stupid can North Korea get......

They were smart enough to dupe Clinton into allowing them to develop their nuclear program unhindered.

Are they not allowed to test fire missiles?

When you threaten every nation with nuclear war, no, no you are not.

You think Clinton was duped? I would say complicit.

Yeah, imagine if they were attacking random (not so random Middle East) countries on a whim. That would be bad. Christ, testing missiles, whatever next.

I completely agree.

Where the Kaesong battery is concerned, civilians will die on one side or the other. There are roughly 2,000.000 North Korean residents who could *potentially* (worst case scenario) get caught up in a one-time strike that picked up every howitzer and MRL aimed at Seoul. The flip side of this is that, if NK is allowed to warm up those long range weapons, there are 20+ million South Koreans from Incheon to the southern outskirts of Seoul who could potentially be killed.

When another country starts launching nukes at the middle east let me know.

I feel really bad for the civilian population of North Korea because I think one way or the other, their country is headed for a mass casualty event like we have never seen in all of human history.

That really sounds like a South Korea problem though.

Seems to me everything was fine and dandy until Trump got elected. Now NK is a problem?

Funny how many "problems" we seem to be good at inventing for ourselves.

a reply to: burdman30ott6

I am pretty sure if the USA and South Korea struck first without warning they could take out most that artillery.

And I think Trump should do that. That would send a clear message to fat kim if we took away his favorite toys.

My only regret is that I have but one star to give you.

Pentagon war games indicate taking North Korea over isn't going to be easy.

Yeah, i'll go for fireworks ...
fireworks 'n' tinsel and wee things
that go *ploof*

Not big, blinding, kraker-jack (tm... maybe)

Don't mix up the fireworks

Just announced that the missile actually broke up over the peninsula, rather than the sea.

The history of North Korea has been a mass causality event of famine, concentration camps and political opression.

If North Korea is librated I think we will find horrors hidden there not seen since WW2.

Some of the reports of North Korean defectors have been harrowing.
