The last one went 1300 miles. This one went 2800 miles which can now reach the middle of America.

It's only a matter of time until the Norks hit something accidentally and kick this off.

Trumps' remarks should prove interesting. This is no longer a question of hitting Guam or Alaska, it now threatens everybody in North America. It may be FO time.

Doubtful. On a trajectory like that it would probably be the first and second stages coming back down. Each stage will still climb for quite a while after burnout.

My bet, more sanctions, more fiery rhetoric, more threats.

Trump can't launch against NK now, nuclear testing is not casus belli for the sort of war that would result in the US hitting North Korea. We're not talking about taking on Saddam's much broken Republican Guard, we're talking about a conflict that will likely kill tens to hundreds of thousands of civilians, if not millions if nukes get launched at us or SK or Japan. Not counting the military losses we'd take. If war happens, Trump likely gets 25th Amendment'd out of the White House but Kim Jong Un doesn't get to enjoy it, because he'll be dead. Neither side can afford to fight that war.

The US has one realistic and politically feasible method to thwart North Korean nuclear program, that's with crushing sanctions and embargoes in the hope it will force a coup. Or else that pressure causes a North Koreans military reaction that provides Trump with legitimate justification to use utmost military force against North Korea and then even John McCain can't claim it was Trump's fault.

I'd be curious to know how much, if any, of a payload was launched with this. If they didn't have much of a payload it will skew the range a lot. If this had a realistic RV payload in it...that is way more troublesome.

Regardless, they made a huge leap in range over their last test.

If they now have the ability to land a nuke on the CONUS, they have gained tremendous leverage now.

Hopefully we can recover the payload. Wonder what the depth is where it came in.

Unfortunately, I'm sure you're correct. I gotta imagine the South Koreans are begging Trump not to do anything that will start a pissing match. "Prease, oh prease!"

Last time we didn't like aggression in the East we sanctioned the shit out of them, cut supplies, and fucked their economy.

Their response was Pearl Harbor.

These retards know they're poking the biggest superpower in the world and they continue to do so. Sanctions are not the answer.

Snowball effect. NK working with Iran. If we hit NK, shouldn't we hit Iran at same time? But, that won't happen. If we hit Iran, that would drag Russia in. NK has nukes and that is that. Better be able to shoot them down before they leave their territory. Iran repeatedly threatens the US and Israel with destruction. Iran will get the intercontinental capability as well.

A nuke war is coming that will kill one-third of mankind. The question is when it will touch off.

Option 1 - Do nothing
Option 2 - Deal with it politically through sanctions and embargoes, hoping it doesn't escalate but wanting change to occur
Option 3 - Launch war of aggression to get what US wants, with all that war entails.

Which one of these is most realistic in July 1941 or November 2017?

View Quote

Those meetings have almost certainly already been happening, with a lot more accurate content than what is observed and reported in the open source media. Keep in mind that when DPRK does something and it is reported, we likely already knew of the capability, if not the exact launch schedule. Major news stories might not be such new, big deals to those in the know.

But that being said, when the general public is told they are now within range, it could certainly free up more acceptable options to senior leadership.

Even if nobody else does anything about it, I very much doubt we will eat a nuke before we do something.

It was determined by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) that the missile "did not pose a threat to North America, our territories or our allies," Pentagon spokesman Col. Robert Manning III told Fox News.
