Beware of N. Korea ballistic missile tests. They always land on the same spot on the sea, but they go higher and higher up into the atmosphere which directly translates to how far they go without testing their missiles directly over American soil. At this point, they North Korean ballistic missiles are probably reaching Saturn at the apex before they crash into some unnotable place in the sea of japan .

It's hilarious when they do it because of this whole bullshit from the U.S., about not letting "enemy" countries get nukes and here you have NK with nukes and constantly firing off missiles. They make the U.S. look even more stupid every time. Like, okay, so why don't they go and stop NK? It just exposes the argument as bullshit, and the conflicts are all about oil and Israeli expansion.

They don’t go and stop North Korea because North Korea has nukes. They aren’t on the verge of making them, they already have them.

Iran has never been on the “verge” of making nukes.  Khamanei issued a Fatwa back in 2005 that nukes were too dangerous as well. Iran’s nuclear program has always been peaceful.  Netanyahu has been spewing that “Iran is on the verge” bullshit for the past 40 years and that argument has no merit.

Just like Israel's spouting off in 2002 that Iraq was days away from having nukes and we needed to go in there and stop them before it was too late!

Which just proves that non-proliferation is a failure. Ukraine gave up their nukes and got attacked by a nuclear power. Iran doesn't have nukes and gets attacked by nuclear powers. NK HAS nukes and regularly fires off missiles, yet gets left alone. Kinda makes a strong argument for Iran having nukes, no?

Sort of proves the point that it is better with nukes than without. Gaddafi, Saddam and Khomeini played the nuke bluff to get concessions than actually pushing head long into it and look where it got them. Perhaps the threat of genuine retaliation from Israel played a role as well. South Korea could never do that because they were ultimately the same people and that thousand plus artillery guns aimed at Seoul. All three of them in the same place and I don't think it's Paradise with virgins. The Kim family on the other hand played their cards right.

Main difference is that they have nukes lol. And well a dictator that wouldn’t mind using it.

But this time the THAAD system which was in South Korea has been removed to the Middle East.  Kim is making a point.

Yeah unfortunately Iran blew up a bunch of our $1 BILLION radars like the AN/TPY-2 and AN/FPS-132 for the THAAD and they moved the one in Asia to replace it. Reports say we've used so many ABM missiles that our stocks are dangerously low so if China and/or Russia launched nukes at us we wouldnt really be able to defend ourselves all so Israel can kill more of their neighbors. We also used over one-third of our Tomahawk stockpiles to do absolutely nothing besides kill 170 Iranian school girls. What a shitshow

>we've used so many ABM missiles that our stocks are dangerously low so if China and/or Russia launched nukes at us we wouldnt really be able to defend ourselves This is true for patriot, thaad, and SM interceptors. Those wouldn't be super useful for an attack on the US with ICBMs by China or Russia though. The systems that use those interceptors are just too short range to cover the whole country. The GBI interceptors intended for defending the continental US from ICBMs are only launched from fixed silos. They don't have mobile launchers that could even be sent to the region. None of those have been used. But there also have never been anywhere near enough GBI interceptors to defend against an attack from Russia or China. They're intended more for a rogue actor or North Korea. The only defense the US has ever had from Russia or China is MAD.

Not as much as America hates the oceans. It already renamed a gulf for no reason and started a war against another strait. Next up America will probably nuke the Pacific for, I don't know, birthing too many typhoons or having a pacifist name.

>After the test, Kim said his government remained focused on the "limitless expansion" of its nuclear forces and issued unspecified new tasks to sharpen the country's nuclear attack and rapid-response capabilities. The same energy as the drunk guy outside a bar that says he can kick your ass if he really wants to, while desperately clutching to anything nearby to keep his balance. Infantile idiots, all of them. What's the end goal to all this? Nobody is going to nuke anybody because it would mean a permanent disruption in resources and commerce, which would be like shooting yourself in the foot. So what's the f****** point? To tell us how big your d*** is? Buddy, we ain't buying it, much less care about it.
