Fat boy launches missile over Japan

Fat boy just keeps on pushing, he is going to get what he wants soon. The Japanese aren't a bunch of pussies, I know their military isn't very large, but we know from history that they will fight. Maybe Japan will put an end to fat boy and his BS.

    I don't know why fat boy wants to destroy the U.S. We're doing that on our own. [:(]

    That makes for a mighty big snake, but if you cut it's head off, it'll still be dead.

    talk will produce an escalation on tubbys part....he is holding the whole world hostage and puffing up like a toad ....china will sit by and talk and get what they want on the side without risking anything...till he screws up and lands one empty or loaded on another country by design or accident...only way to stop him is neighbors to come in on all four sides of NK at once..or grovel and give him everthing he wants free...

    I can't help wondering why the Japanese didn't shoot it down.
    Didn't the U.S.A government give Japan the missiles to defend themselves?
    I thought I saw something in the news a few months ago about it.....

    Japan has the largest city in the world. The city has MORE inhabitants than the entire country of N.K.

    You would think Japan would fix this problem with the help of China.

    They might be waiting to see if N.K. "collapses" in a more peaceful way. Doubt this situation lasts another year.

    +1

    That is an act of war. Imagine if Russia or China fired a missile over Hawaii without warning us beforehand?

    Back in the old cold war days we did stuff like this but we let each other know before we did it.

    I'm Afraid we can't shoot it down. Our only option is to blow them up on the launch pad before launch. We can see them setting them up with our satellites. A big army doesn't stand up against the mother of all bombs very long.

    I would guess the trajectory was such that the Japanese determined it was not headed for Japan. No reason to waste a multi-million dollar ABM on something that is not going to cause any damage.

    Besides that, if you take a missile out over your country, the debris falling to earth will also create devastation and casualties. And that is if the defensive counter strike is successful.

    Let's face it, the NK fat boy is truly playing with fire here and seems to be testing the entire world with his stupidity and double dog dares!

    I expect to see a major headline in our very near future about the demise of Kim Jong Un. (please forgive my spelling of this * hole for I'm typing from pure memory)

    That is IF our SUCKING news sources even can make a true story out of what's to be!

    At least for Japan that IS an act of war, why oh why did we not have them prepared to respond in one quick strike and end this nonsense. China agreed to stay out of it if NK provoked and Japan certainly could have said they provoked the return fire.

    I don't think we can say "with China's blessing." It's more like China's forbearance - or tolerance.

    As to launching over another country being an act of war, every satellite anybody has ever launched goes over ALL countries. Russia launches from within its own borders, even its ICBM tests. Ditto for China. They all fly over other countries. The resupply mission we flew to the Space Station two week ago went over most of Europe on its way up.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Rocky ,you may be right .For sure China is aware of what he is doing and I believe they could call a halt to it if they really wanted to. As it is I believe it furthers some of their aims .Exactly what I do not know

    I'm afraid that's true fact.

    Just like a child pushing the envelope to see how far and how much they can get away with.
    This nut case is doing the same damn thing.

    And the PC world is letting him do it.

    The envelope is getting bigger with every action.

    What would you do if your next door neighbor kept shooting fireworks over your home?

    I would first ask him to stop.

    If he did not, there would be some kind of a fight until he stopped or I was dead.

    FatBoy is shooting fireworks over Japan's House!
