Breaking!! North Korea fires Long Range Missile

You have way to much confidence in a government headed by a guy who wants to get rid of our nukes and doesn't give a rats ass about whether you live or die.

We certainly have the ability to intercept a missle and we have the ability to turn NK into a glowing pile of glass. What we don't have is an executive branch that cares about those abilities beyond the results of the next political poll.

Remember the Russian sub in the Gulf a few months ago? Remember the missle off the coast of CA a little over a year ago? There are bigger threats we aren't doing a damn thing about. If/when someone decides to light off an EMP attack, our response is highly likely to be too little too late.

Say what?

Better a satellite failing IN orbit than loosing manned missions like Challenger and Columbia.

Personally, I think this is a game-changing event.

Here's why: (It's generally been known, and even confirmed again by CNN's NK-analysts tonight, that "every missile-system that NK has ever made, they've sold to Iran".)

So, given that, and given that NK already has successfully tested N-weapons, then, we see this (long-range missile test now, also successful)...one doesn't have to be a math wiz to see that - the (public) fear declared by Israel of Iran getting a N-weapon (even though the fear somewhat blunted, during the VP presidential debates, saying that "Iran doesn't have a delivery system") is now...right on center stage and the declared "blunting" now, no longer relevant, since they now will soon "have the delivery system" - to me, speeds up the time table, dramatically.

It therefore (from Israel's perspective), is no longer an issue of (how many months away is Iran from the N-weapon with delivery capability?)...rather, it's now (how many days/weeks away is NK from transferring one or both, the N-weapon and the delivery system to Iran?).

This puts (especially) Israel and potentially Europe, Japan and Austraila in a zone of serious (additional peril) - peril that did not exist prior to tonight.

My Conclusion, (like Pastor Dan Bohler's vision, discussed last August), yes, I believe unfortunately (EVEN IN THIS MONTH OF DECEMBER), we'll very possibly see tens of thousands of missiles reigning down on Israel.)

May the Most High be praised forever

Oh well take heart, there are a long line of such failures, starting with even the V-2s of White Sands, and those of the former USSR, and all the failed satellite launches of the USSR and the USA at the Dawn of the Space Age. lots and lots of failures.

But if you don't try, you have already failed, isn't that how the saying goes?

you must not know much about your own country and the situation a lot of its people face

Saftey Matches. They still make them don't they?

My spine Dr moved here when he was little. We spoke about the VICE GUIDE TO N KOREA & N Korea work camps in Siberia. His words "lucky my mom got out" he tells me all the time how the people are oppressed, major cities don't have electricity. The ruling family fucked the entire country, bad. The best part is a ruler that died in the 90.s. The people thier don't have much food but IF you can get a visa to visit you a) stay on a strict Govt tour where they lay out food for 200 but you will be only one eating for the image that there is a ton of food. Thier propaganda is so 1940's and b) they control everything you stay in.

Check out this video in YouTube who had a visa and a bridge to get to next place was closed so his tour bus went down a different route, not the normal one and it exposes the conditions...

What do you mean, unfortunately? Those devils have had it coming for 50 years.

If... big if, NK has succeeded in placing a satellite in orbit, do you think they are sophisticated enough to take into account all the other satellites already in orbit ?
Is there going to be a collision later today, tomorrow or next week?

They can, yes. Though it's not impossible they made a mistake.

Same thing happened when Clinton was in office and India conducted the nuclear test. Completely caught off guard and red faces galore.

Why don't they just have some fucking BALLS and shoot the fucking piece of shit down!!!

Your assessment is spot on. I agree wholeheartedly.

Oh hell yeah

they finally managed to get the bottle to stand upright?
