Has Odumbo sent the NORK a sternly written letter yet, or is he still too busy huddling in the basement of the White House rocking himself and sucking his thumb, while the Wookie tries to comfort him?

The U.S. Strategic Command said it had detected a missile entering space and South Korea's military said the rocket had put an object into orbit, quashing earlier media reports indicating the rocket might have failed in flight.
"Everything we have seen is consistent with a successful repeat of the 2012 (launch)," said U.S. missile technology expert John Schilling, referring to a previous launch of what the North said was a communications satellite. |

Heh ! Time for some high tech target practice. (I thought it blew up shortly after launch) |

That would put Australia, much of Western Europe, and the U.S. West Coast in range of a North Korean warhead.

Plus you got that whole problem of firing nukes at the USA, which guarantees even a small exchange, meaning Pyongyang and Kim is toast. NK wants nukes and "reliable" means of firing them so they gain more negotiating power. It's smart on their point, gives them a means to maybe get around some sanctions and force a better deal. As is whenever they rattle sabers they still have to worry about actual resistance from the South, from Japan, from the US, and even China. Once they get a mile they believe they will truly be a regional power, near equal to China, and able to control their own destiny. Problem for us is the while we have the smart and sensible decision to deny them getting this power, without risking war as a threat there isn't much we can do to stop them. Sanctions don't cut it, SK gets gutted in any conflict, so we're kind of fucked either way. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. |

Ted Cruz mentioned that Americans should fear an EMP strike from North Korea rather than a nuclear one at the GOP debate in New Hampshire tonight. His statement comes amid North Korea’s complete disregard of U.N. sanctions for its nuclear and missile programs. More specifically he warned contenders and audience members at the debate of imminent EMP strikes which could be just as davastating as a nuclear strike. The military, communication systems, and defense technology would be out of the commission due to an EMP. Ted Cruz, and most of the GOP presidential candidates, appeared to come to the consensus that anything that North Korea puts into the atmosphere should be agressively dealt with. Even if that means hastily making preemptive strikes to alleviate any potential threats before they happen.

Japan put its military on alert on Wednesday to shoot down any North Korean rocket that threatens it, while South Korea warned the North it would pay a "severe price" if it goes ahead with a satellite launch that South Korea considers a missile test. "We strongly warn that the North will pay a severe price ... if it goes ahead with the long-range missile launch plan," it said. And what was done? Not a fucking thing. Just some more US/US allies shit talking and the fat little fucker still goes unchecked. Yep we taught him! Fuck yeah Murica'! |

Some points you should consider: - current SK govt are hardliners against NK - statements to the press don't reflect reality - the press only reports info the govt wants them to release - none of this is a surprise, nothing was done to prevent it, nothing can be done without risking total war and the loss of Seoul - there was no threat since we were clearly aware a launch was going to happen in advance, we knew it wasn't a missile, no need to risk a failure trying to shoot it down. A miss (still very likely) would be worse press than not shooting at it |

Why would you show your capabilities when there is no threat? I am quite sure they were tracking the trajectory and flight profile of the missile and deemed it not to be a threat worthy of the effort and consequences of attempting an intercept. Then maybe tell South Korea, not to talk shit and instigate the situation. South Korea warned the North it would pay a "severe price" if it goes ahead with a satellite launch that South Korea considers a missile test. And not mention at all about intercepting it. Some points you should consider: - current SK govt are hardliners against NK (That is obvious) - statements to the press don't reflect reality (maybe not but it is exploited for propaganda purposes) - the press only reports info the govt wants them to release (What should have been said was "We are aware of it" and not make idle threats) - none of this is a surprise, nothing was done to prevent it, nothing can be done without risking total war and the loss of Seoul - there was no threat since we were clearly aware a launch was going to happen in advance, we knew it wasn't a missile, no need to risk a failure trying to shoot it down. A miss (still very likely) would be worse press than not shooting at it (Right, there was no threat, understood, then don't escalate the situation by making threats toward NK about shooting it down, feeding into his silly propaganda games.) |

That would make it an undocumented launch but an otherwise legitimate launch. Its just a hard working missile trying to feed its family by doing the jobs that US missiles dont want to do. |

... You're still not understanding that a threat is meaningless without intent. "I'm going to kick your ass" makes me sound tough but only for people that think a fight will happen. SK govt makes a threat because that's what their base expects them to say. It's basically following a set script. SK can't do shit without losing Seoul, if not more, now that the Norks have nukes. They have zero military options that won't end with national suicide, so every militarily possibility is only worst case scenario. What will happen is SK will cut aid funding, NK will fire arty at remote position, the whole world will gasp and arfcom will post a thousand threads about WWIII in North Korea, and then money and food will move back to NK, shit will de-escalate like it has dozens of times before, life goes on, NK isn't going anywhere, but war isn't going to happen. |

I have seen it speculated they are piecing together an EMP attack on the US. This is a test of the delivery system, the recent underground test was the warhead. Unlike a conventional nuke attack, which would require many missiles and warheads, this would only take one. OH MY GOD, NOT EMP!!! |

South Korea talking shit to the north is expected. You would know they were serious if something like this went off and South Korea said nothing. |
