North Korea's Ballistic Missiles

in #politics7 years ago

The North Korean ballistic missile program is one of the most complex systems that pose a threat to global security.

You read that and think North Korea is about to wipe the United States off the face of the earth. In reality North Korea's Missile program is so limited in it's capability that it's only good for some limited deterrence. The fear mongering we see now is so close to that we saw of Iraq's so called weapons of Mass destruction. What Saddam had were a few Scud missiles, worthless in modern wars.

North Korea, officially: Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is a country located in eastern Asia, occupying the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, overlooking the Gulf of Korea and the Sea of ​​Japan, bordered by China From the north and South Korea from the south.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un authorized more than 80 missile tests since assuming leadership nearly six years ago. But all of these missiles fell into the waters in the East China Sea, because they were limited in scope, or were fired at a sharp angle, and were so high in space that they would splash down without going far.

Today, North Korea gave up restraint, starting a medium-range ballistic missile test, and launched it over Hokkaido, Japan, to nearly 1,700 kilometers of the Western Pacific. In doing so, they shown that they can hit a distant goal without Japan or it's allies being able to stop them.

Because of North Korea's geographical location - between China and South Korea, between eastern and southeastern Japan, Russia to the northeast, there is no way, they can test missiles, and not fly over another country. So what's the big deal?

Did North Korea attack Japan? NO
Do they have the capability to attack the US? NO
If they had such capability would they attack the US? NO

Our long term enemies such as Russia and supposedly China, have that capability for years, yet they would not under any normal circumstances launch ballistic missiles at the US. Why would China allow a puppet like Kim to launch an attack on its biggest consumer of goods, the United States? that would be an economical suicide...

Do not worry at all, a president who is berserk, certifiable crazy, demented, deranged, frenzied, hysterical, lunatic, mad, maniac, mental, psychopathic, raving, crazed, absurd, bananas, irrational, psychotic, out of his mind, twitter freak, would not have codes to launch an attack on North korea. I am sure by now the military of the United States recognized our failure and stripped him of that toy.

Sort:  

North Korea Missile Broke Into 3 Pieces, Fell Into Waters Off Japan's Hokkaido - NHK - scary

I am still shocked that the last Missile flew over Japan. They crossed the line for sure.

North Korea doesn't care, they will continue to test their international ballistic missiles it's getting better and that's scary.

Why not create something beautiful instead of destructions?

Follow me @Yehey
Thank you

And everything Trump does will be called "wrong" by the wonderful MSM. If he does nothing, he's to blame if they drop a Bomb on California. If he DOES something, he'll also be to blame if they drop a bomb.

North Korea and USA should work together to fight against the MSM before they do anything else.

Because every year USA and South Korea hold joint exercises simulating the invasion of North Korea. The USA dropped more bombs on them during the Korean War than were used in WW2, and that war has never been declared over. Do you not think they are entitled to have some form of defense?

Ooh, scary. Bunch of geniuses in the DPRK. Maybe they should focus on feeding their people first.

People thinking little of North Korea and their capabilities when you have no real idea of what they are capable of. As for China, well they may well be supplying NK with what they need due to something they may have and are needing, why else would NK have so many missiles they can just 'fail test' to pretend like they aren't that much of a threat.

You never really know what someone is capable of these days, but I am hoping NK aren't as successful as they may be if they have their way.

Invest in missile defense companies? Thanks for sharing.

The way we go to war every few years it's seems a better investment than gold.

YOU ARE JOKING, RIGHT? So, which one was first, the chicken or the egg? In current times, are war promoted by the military industrial complex or would it be better to say that the rest of the world are so incompetent (that coincidentally they have resources the we want) and cannot rule themselves. That is exactly the mentality we need, lets make war and make some $$$$$$. Shareholders accept war as business as usual living in their self-absorb bubble. You can say that with a smile, disconnected from the rest of the world that actually is at war, and you want to monetize from it. You ever been in the middle of a war??? Hmmm, keep living your little consumerist world, isolated from the rest of the world.

Missile Defense Token.. 📡 Radar ICO Coming soon.. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Such propaganda out of North Korea. These guys have no technology and no money to go to war with anyone.

yup they would be annihilated in a day ! without china they have no chance since it would be the world against north korea..

agreed, they can go to war, but they can not fund it long term unless they get support from China, which won't approve of any war that will hurt the Chinese economy.

I am not even sure they launched a missile over Japan. The CIA or others could have easily done it to start a false flag

I am not into the conspiracy theory but whether they did or not what difference does it make?
If the lunatics want war it will happen, making up a reason is easy for them.

You are right.

Problem, Reaction, Solution. That is called Hegelian dialectic and it is not conspiracy theory. It's been use by every government throughout history including our own. In order to manipulate a vast amount of people into the government's will they will cause the problem or allow the problem to occur, wait for the popular reaction and offer a solution, hence false flags. Look it up. So considering that this young country of ours (USA) is only 241 years old and we only had 17 years of no international military conflict. An enemy real or not will always reunite the nation.

Don't give them attention that they don't deserve,

Hi @joseph :) Those weapons are really amazing except when they kill people. But what I wanna know is... what's the meaning of Ballistic in term of missiles???? I just wanna know =D

dictionary: a missile with a high, arching trajectory, that is initially powered and guided but falls under gravity onto its target.

So mad they launched over Japan the other day.. My favorite place.

It does make you wonder what there real motives are it wouldn't be the first time politicians have lied to get what they want, cheers mike

While they technically didn't "attack" Japan, conducting a ballistic missile test over another sovereign nation is a serious act. What is interesting to note is that this isn't the first time North Korea has launched missiles over Japan. Kim Jong-un's father did it twice before: http://abcnews.go.com/International/north-korean-missile-tests-crossed-japan/story?id=49497769

And here's a list of all of the missile tests they've done over the years: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_North_Korean_missile_tests

But the fact that this is Kim's first shot across Japan's bow, so to speak, is interesting in and of itself. It's hard to know about the internal power dynamics of that country, but there were reports several years ago of a failed coup against Kim: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/24/did-kim-jong-un-kill-uncle-brother-coup-plot-involving-china/

Robert Kelly, the Southeast Asia analyst who got famous for his kid barging in during a BBC skype interview, told Bloomberg yesterday that he figured the tests were potentially part of factional infighting within the NK government: https://twitter.com/business/status/902391696557727744

So it's quite possible that the missile tests are more about internal power struggles than they are regarding anything external.

But who knows.
