As long as it will be a war of "word vs action" the "action" will win. We are not obliged to make war, but we can show through action we are not only impress, but we are also be able to make action as NoKo is doing.
As I already said, we can fly a missile over NoKo, we can intercept one of them, and so on.
Taking action now, will send a real message to Kim, and he is smart enough to understand it.
A Falcon launch averages $ 57 million.
A North Korean launch would cost less.
Still what is this costing the North Korean economy.
Given North Korean productivity, how much must the quality of life lowered & for how many people for Dear Leader to launch so many missiles?
There are a lot of Koreans working as indentured servants in Siberia.
NK Kaka is starting to hit fan with regularity,
Azino,
You have a good point about cost, but we are talking about politic. What is the goal? That's not an cost saving one, but a politic win one.
Have b2 drop flyers over his c &c, launch sites, nuke centres etc stating that you didnt even see us comming.
And I'm sure China will still be like "nothing to see here, don't do anything, we'll protect north Korea"
Lol f*ckers
Let's fly missiles over their territory and be like "oh so sorry but no problem here" ;)
Fazman that's actually funny. However. We cannot be seen to do anything crazy because china will exploit the situation and paint us as war mongerers.
We have to play it cool. If we do something aside from politics, it needs to be a decisive and decapitating strike so that not only his nukes are gone (very difficult thanks to China who sold him the mobile launch platforms), but we need to make it crystal clear to China that we're not kidding around when someone constantly threatens us with nuclear annihilation.
Trump needs to turn the dial up a notch.
If China protects North Korea and North korea, Iran, Pakistan all have the bomb, I suggest that Vietnam, the Phillipines, Taiwan, Burma, south Korea, Japan all have the bomb too.
Where will the 9 Dash line be then?
Aizino that's actually what might have to happen. Then China and north Korea will no longer be able to bully all of Asia.
Aizino and Anon,
I agree. The countries mentioned should have "the bomb." I've been saying that for years
North Korea's continued launch of missiles over Japan reminds me of a joke about the height of cheekiness. "peeing in the letter slot in a door (olden days of course) and then knocking on the door and asking how fall up the hall it went."
One day one of those missiles will change course as in stopping its engines and fall out of the sky onto Japan. Why they don't shoot down the missiles assuming of course that they had that ability is a mystery.
