NK Missile Launch

Lobbing missiles into an empty East Sea/of Japan is one thing. Launching them over another country and thru their commercial airways is another. Time for this chubby little idiot to be shut down.

Look at the last launch. The missile achieved a 1700 - 2300 mile apogee and then splashed down close to the launch site, close in relative terms, which showed NOKO is capable of advanced targeting. To get a missile to a destination anywhere on planet Earth only requires a velocity of approximately 18000 mph and around 125 miles of altitude. This test launch proved Little Kim can target any point in North America.

I couldn't agree more, it certainly is 'time for this chubby little idiot to be shut down', but by launching this latest rocket, did he really do anything wrong legally? Consider; if his missile was in 'space' prior to passing over Japan, NoKo wouldn't be guilty of violating Japan's sovereign airspace and by bringing the vehicle down over the 'open' ocean, NOKO was in line with global practice, even if we don't like his doing so.

By undertaking technically sophisticated launches, the chubby little dude appears to be sending his opposition very informational & purposeful messages.

Legally he has done nothing wrong...however he is making the other little idiots scared and they want to take their ball and go home.

When one of his RC missiles takes out an large airliner full, I would respectfully have to disagree. This is a busy airspace along the North Pacific Ocean.
