    Default North Korea launches missile at Japan

    Hi all,

    North Korea launches missile at Japan.

    Assume the position guys.

    Next missile may go astray and land in Indonesia, and we in Oz are about to welcome 20 million or more Moslem war refugees.

    I'm just guessing .....

    Luv and Kisses to all, it was nice while it lasted

    Buy cheap and pay often, - there is no substitute for stupidity.

    You wipe your bum after each crap, why don't you clean your teeth after every meal?

    There is no shame in being uneducated nor in being stupid.
    The true shame lies in knowing that you are and doing nothing about it.

    Only the living worry about dying.

    To the tobacco addicts - Smoke more and die sooner, so I can breathe fresh air. Thank you.

    Probably why the US military have taken over half the Darwin base
    Maybe Kim has a few billion in BitCoin and is throwing some missiles around to inflate the price

    Japan can defend themselves though, they are very used to Harpooning Whales!

    I think the Media are the worst people to fear here
    It was test, probably landed no where near Japan, but the news will have you believe it flew over Japan

    The scariest country is still America.

    There's Trumps America, and there's ordinary America. I think ordinary America is tolerable, but the dingbat version is scary as shit.....

    Kim's going to keep on poking until someone takes a shot at him so his retaliation can be claimed to be self defence.
    No easy way out of this apart from continuing to ignore the provocations and staying in a state of readiness.

    Ah well, i stand corrected
    It did fly OVER Japan from all reports.

    Yeah, that's getting a bit cheeky
    Lets see him fly one over Guam.

    To bad if Japan shot it down over their mainland
    Then suffered the fall out

    For a country that reputability has massive bans on what can be imported, missiles certainly dont seem to be in short supply so where is Kim getting them from?

    Makes me wonder if they have invented a Star Trek replicator............

    Apart from all the media outlets blowing this story out of proportion.

    Do we even know if Kim didn't already get prior permission from Japan?
    The whole thing seems a bit absurd to me.
    I mean, if Kim is really this unhinged and dangerous, he is only 1 person.
    Surely the Generals would get together, and pop him off if they thought they were in threat.
    Or a neighbouring country or the USA, would organise him t be disposed of.

    Dictators only come in units of ONE like Stalin, Hitler, Edi Amin, Poppa Doc, Saddam Hussein, Kim IL Sung, Mao Tse Tung, Mulmar Gaddaphi etc, etc, etc.
    There is a problem in removing them as the Yanks found with Saddam Hussein is that you MUST have a 'HEAD' to wear the crown ready to take over or you end up with a civil war as the factions previously held in check by the current Dictator fight to gain control.

    The tv news shows vision of a rocket launch as if they have a camera on location, at least they could put some sort of notice on the footage...

    A few things I don't get, NK is supposed to be in the dark ages yet can build rockets & put satellites into space... I don't know who build them for oz or if it's in oz & we're supposed to be a modern country

    They would of known what's coming years ago when bush lumped them in the axil of evil speech then saw what happened to Libya so stocked up & prepared accordingly....

    It wasn't assessed to be a threat at the altitude when it passed over Japanese land. There's a general agreement about a country's 'airspace' extending to an altitude of 100km (62 miles) and the missile was much higher than that over Japan at something in excess of 500 km. If it was within that 'airspace' the reaction would have been somewhat more violent.

    The response to Kim's missile launch was South Korea bombing its own country.

    It looks like they really make their own.
    The problem is the materials and fuel, which they obviously get from China.
    THey also get pretty much all their oil/petrol from China and China shows no interest in stopping or slowing the supply. IMO stopping the fuel supply alone would break North Korea's ability to be a threat.
    Keep in mind that both China and Russia do NOT want South Korea and other countries to be able to defend themselves by installing the US antimissile systems.
    Russia does not seem to be concerned about the North Korean missille tests.
    This all shows to me the true colours of North Korea's 'allies'.

    Who Flung Dung has the world where he wants them. He's just looking to see who is watching him. If the rest of the world just ignored him, he'd probably do something incredibly stupid and then N Korea would be a black spot on the map with the rest of the world having to deal with the fallout.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Exactly!
    North Korea is a very impoverished country, their ideology is the Korean War is still on going.
    Kim has to show he can defend them from the nasty West, to keep the countries unity and faith of the people.
    The enemy here is America.
    By Kim Jung doing these tests he is showing his country men, he can defend them.
    Nothing more... There will be a Nuclear test, no doubt.
    He has to show America and his country he has the power to defend them against the worlds biggest.

    And in the the process, he might get something he is after.

    Perhaps Trump being in power has fast tracked NK's plans to show power?

    Kim is no fool, he's playing his cards, he'd be sitting back pissing himself at Turdball licking trumps arse, Australia such an easy vulnerable target, I think we would all be surprised to exactly the arsenal that Kim has ready at the red button, its inevitable a war is looming, yanks just cant stand the thought of other countries being superior to them, its gunna happen and it aint gunna be pretty.
