So how inflammatory would it be to test our missile interceptors on the apparently upcoming N. Korean missile tests?

Anyways, the Russians and Chinese better get to work putting the clamps back down on N. Korea, because if they attack us with a nuke, its over.  They'll have no political way from preventing us from turning N. Korea into the next Iraq, except I'd expect 98% less resistance from the local starving population once we feed them and turn on the lights.

i mean still, is Kim Jong-il that retarded to really THREATEN THE U.S.  That has to be one of the stupidest things anyone has ever done lol

Hitler declared war on the USA. So little Kim got pawned

Been following this for quite a while now.  I am sure it just irritates the hell out of China and Russia to have that little squeaker stirring things up the way he is.  And I dont think that they are going to just stand by and let him do anything like attack the US, Japan or S Korea.  But at the same time, they arent going to just let us go over there and smack him around either.  That is their backyard.

It would kinda be like Mexico threatening China, and saying it was going to attack them.  We would be the ones that would have to handle it.  We wouldnt just let China come over and start landing troops.

And if he did have a total breakdown and actually launched a nuke at anyone... I dont think we would be the only ones that would have a part in turning N Korea into a parking lot.

But hes not doing any of this because he wants to go to war...  He wants money.  He has learned, that if he flexes his muscles, the world will give him aid to stop.  Unfortunately... the world is tired of that game, and he hasnt figured that out yet.

First off, NoKo is a LONG way from fitting a Nuke warhead on any of their missiles..
Their 1st underground test fizzled, the second test worked... But again, that is a LONG way
from building a functional warhead that will fit in the nosecone of a modified skud...

It took the US, many years to get that far.. But then again, back in the 90s, we had
PRC spies at LOS ALAMOS.... They stole much of our supercomputer "W" programs..
Which are, the warhead design programs, Hmmmmmm? 

They have been finding bits and pieces of these "W" programs in many places around
the world... Truly Dangerous!!!

I'll never understand why paranoia is more common than logic.   

[fudgums]

Hmm didn't we declare war on germany in WWII angus?

[Scherf]

I'll never understand why paranoia is more common than logic.   

It's easier.

[CHAPPY]

Would be funny if China and Russia sided with North Korea.

[CAP1]

Threatening nuclear war on the U.S.?  We could like blow all of N.Korea up with 1 missile, and there threatening us??  I will admit I'm a bit nervous cause basically they can only hit California, and that's were i am, but how can they be that stupid to even try and threaten us like that?
What you guys think about this?

i have a really nice bridge for sale. it makes tons of money in tolls. lemme know if you're interested, and we'll talk.

Nuclear weapons, when massed, are some real scary toejam.

However, one or two 15 KT devices delivered by truck or ship aren't enough of an equalizer to change anything on the Peninsula. If anyone could convince me that the NKs could get a device over Osan AB, you might get my attention. And sure, the important thing here is to stop them from continuing down a path that will give them the capability to strap one of those warheads onto a missile. But the treat of war today would appear to be more about shoring up power domestically, and shaking down the international community for more money/food aid.

Kim Joing Il isn't making the decisions right now. It is belived the top brass of the N. Korea's people's Army are making most of the decisions, because of Jong Il's deteriorating health. That includes the missile test on Memorial Day. Right now they're trying to downsize the size of their warheads to fit onto rockets. It is clearly an act of aggression. I belive (if I remember correctly) The most recent test was of a nuclear warhead three times the size of that dropped on Hiroshima.
