Yonhap News Agency: N.K. threatens to fire four missiles toward Guam

SEOUL, Aug. 10 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's military said Thursday it is considering firing four intermediate-range ballistic missiles around Guam, home to several U.S. strategic bombers.

North Korea's strategic force is "seriously examining the plan for an enveloping strike at Guam through simultaneous fire of four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range strategic ballistic rockets in order to interdict the enemy forces on major military bases on Guam and to signal a crucial warning to the U.S.," according to the Korean Central News Agency in English.

Guam is much, much more likely to tip over than to get nuked.

Given the (lack of) accuracy of their missiles this is potentially dangerous. They say they'll shoot 30-40 miles away from the coast, but given all the things that can go wrong and the not very high accuracy of everything goes right this is an extremely ballsy move. I can't imagine north Korea going through with this as it would reveal their capabilities/lack of capabilities. .unless the secret service assessments have been wrong. ..then we need to ask: how come north Korea makes such fast advances? If it turns out to be the Chinese again, we might be at a cold war with China quite quickly

North Korea has bad accuracy?

Any one remember the films of V2 failures. Yet in a year or 2 missiles were raining down on London.

Plus North Korea have Pakistan and Iran behind them (& maybe Syria too.). If Pakistan spread nuke knowledge, might they spread a little missile knowledge too?
