Forums / Political & Legal / North Korea Missile Launch

No you don't, you are me. Oh yeah. We suck.

I don't believe we will do anything about "KN" but give them more money and continue to let them export their rocketry and nuclear knowledge. If KS doen't think we will contain KN then the U.S. shouldn't get upset when KS decides to turn the Yalu River into a footbath.
I don't think we will do anything about Iran either. I've already measured logical approach paths Isreal might take to get there. Tough, but they can do it. If they decide turn the darkened sky over Tehran into a glowing morning sun, Hhhuuummmm. In either scenario, the U.S. would have done zero !

United States must stop with it's empty threats towards North Korea.

North Korea knows U.S. is not going to do anything about the launch.

Finally, something we can agree on.

This is what will happen...

North Korea launch missile...

Missile flies over Japan....

Missile flies over U.S. passing California, Texas and when it reaches Washington DC It will explode like fire works...Can you just picture President Obama and Hillary Clinton just staring up as the missile flies over head and commences the firework show?

Then the North Korean President will celebrate that he succeeded having his fireworks over Washington DC as the whole world watched..

Then United States will have less respected than it had before.

The reason I do not address Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is because she is much more powerful than a Secretary…

that this is a rational human being....

a high colonic.

Including the physics of the thing. The missile has no such range. End of story. As with most of Manny's ramblings, it is stupid in context. HOWEVER, COMMA....

we (the US of A) have a fleet of Arleigh-Burke Class DDGs stationed in the area as well as a Carrier Strike Group headed by CVN-74 John C. Stennis and Japanese destoyers. The majority of the DDGs have the Aegis defense system which is a complete shield around Japan and the coast. We can, if we want to, shoot that missile down in a heartbeat.

The downside is that China would love to 'witness' such a feat to discern our capabilities, which are formidable. The REAL opposition here is China, not North Korea. They are building a blue water fleet to comete with the US Navy. IF we do it, majority opinion is that we ought to inform the Chinese first.

North Korea is always doing things like this. To them, it's more of a political tool to get more oil, food and money and less sanctions. A few years ago, they said "oh, look, we can make nukes now" and the US responded with "here's oil, food and money, stop making the nukes". And NK did....for a while. I see the same thing now..."Oh look, we have intercontinental missles". Now, what is the US willing to give them to stop it. In my opinion, it should be a few well placed guided bombs. One on the NK presidential palace. But, that won't happen. I think the US is just sitting around and waiting on the NK "president", can't remember his name right now, to die, just like they were waiting out Castro. But, everytime the US and UN gives in to what really amounts to blackmail, we become weaker and weaker. And Iran, I agree, the US won't do a thing. The Isrealis are the only ones with the balls to do anything about it and given the slightest push, they will.

North Korea uses this kind of posturing as a diplomatic tool. Here is a quote from Strafor, a private intelligence firm. I can't quote the entire thing because that's against their terms of use. I get a subscription to these guys for $300 per year. But I think these three paragraphs can fall under fair use:

"Despite the consternation and condemnation surrounding North Korea’s planned satellite launch, set for some time between April 4-8, there is little concrete being done to dissuade Pyongyang’s actions, and the potential for additional sanctions following the launch has little real meaning. Barring a significant accident or miscalculation, it seems North Korea’s neighbors and the United States are simply not placing much significance on the launch. Since North Korea’s 2006 missile and nuclear tests, Pyongyang has found it more difficult to raise the stakes. Its policy of creating crises as the starting point for negotiations appears to be losing efficacy, though they do allow Pyongyang to keep moving the red line.

Since the end of the Cold War, when North Korea lost its ability to play between its two traditional sponsors, China and the Soviet Union, Pyongyang has followed a different policy to protect its interests and avoid the regime collapse seen throughout the communist bloc countries. In short, Pyongyang has engaged in a form of self-created crisis diplomacy. It creates security crises that draw attention from its neighbors and the United States, and then extracts economic and political concessions in return for standing back down to the status quo. This has served North Korea well, and the North Korean leadership has far outlived predictions of its imminent demise.

Over time, however, North Korea’s antics have been viewed more and more like the boy who cried wolf, who raised the alarm for something that was not really threatening. Whereas simply the possession of a nuclear reprocessing facility in the late 1990s almost induced the United States to threaten war, Pyongyang’s 2006 nuclear test — which followed a series of missile tests by a few months — brought only a few strong words and some relatively ineffective sanctions. Similarly, the current “crisis” surrounding North Korea’s planned satellite launch has been more words than actions, and even these have toned down as Washington has said it does not intend to intercept the launch, a sentiment echoed by Tokyo (unless parts of the missile appear likely to land on Japanese territory)."

After North Korea launches it missile then Iran will follow. Hillary Clinton and President Obama would consider allowing Iran launch a test missile over the United States in the name of peace.

I would like to be the guy she uses to get payback for Bill's intern incident. By the time I got done, she would be laying in the fetal position in the shower, trying to get my smell off of her, beer bottle still stuck in her ass, crying out, "Why me" like Nancy Kerrigan.

I would like to be the guy she uses to get payback for Bill's intern incident. By the time I got done, she would be laying exhausted on the bed trying to get my smell on her, crying out, "Damn, you're good. I never knew it could be like this." just like Nancy Kerrigan.

We could both do her. I get the head, you can have the rest of her. I'll be in the bathroom with my part, just knock if you want to trade up.
