North Korea & Nukes

Despite this luckily, China has shown strict disapproval for N. Korea's actions even though they are strong allies

Same thought

Don't worry, be happy. WWIV will be a battle of supremacy between the rats and the cockroaches.

NK just wants the ltr 450 and has stated openly they would be happy to give up all their nuke plans for just one white Suzuki Ltr-450.

Nuke North Korea and the whole middle east and BAM....no more problems.

Although I am joking...jokes are half true :bangbang:

say if they do launch one over here or what not, is there a way to blow it up or do we just start praying..... ive pondered this a long time but no one can give me a answer, do we have anything that will take it out or what not ?

there's no way they would bea ble to launch one and make it here, pretty sure they know that.

What is sad to me is all of NK actions are just a ploy to get more aid...aka, money, food, and increase exports/imports.

The people of Nk are those that are suffering because thir leadership spends every penny on the military. At least the Soviets did not demand this sort of aid from the world when they spent all their resources on their military...of course, since the fall we are all giving plenty in aid to the former USSR.

Actually they could. They have medium range 2 stage missles which potentially could hit Alaska, Hawaii and even perhaps the Pacific NW. The spokey part is the developement of thier ICBM the Taepo Dong-2. That one would be a bitch to try and stop from hitting anywhere they wanted.

Thats the thing. NK doesnt have full capability yet (that we know of) and although we have some protective measures in place it is not 100% that we will detedt a launch or that we can shoot it down. We have not experienced any "real time" exercises for our current counter measures. The Air Force is developing some laser munitions that will help with multi warhead ICBMs but they are years away from being employed. If they shoot a medium range missle at us, depending if we notice the launch, would ,pst likely not able to knock it down. If they get a shot off without us seeing it, we are screwed. In other words, we have to know its coming to be able to shoot it down.
