I dunno, i think the a-holes are starting to get a little c0cky. A bunch of countries were telling them to not even try it, and they went ahead and just smacked the thing right out over Japan.
The only reason North Korea didn't get overrun 50 years ago was because General MacArthur wanted to invade mainland China and the Chinese reacted by throwing their support behind North Korea. But now, the Chinese hate North Korea. That's the only thing we really have going for us.
North Korea, in my opinion, is just scaring the hell out of the rest of the world just to basically be asses. (excuse my language, I couldn't use a different word). I think that there is A LITTLE overreaction from everybody, but I strongly believe that N. Korea isn't that stupid to launch a nuke at Japan or anywhere.
but I strongly believe that N. Korea isn't that stupid to launch a nuke at Japan or anywhere.
Actually since we have the technology to shoot down single missiles within seconds after their launch,and N. Korea would be lucky to get a even one nuke(as I believe that missile was not nuclear, but in fact just a long range missile) so they would be lucky with the level of missile technology they have now to manage to do anything. Especially since just about every Country surrounding them is against them at this point. The Country may have the 5th largest military(last time I checked), but that would still not be enough for them to put up a real fight against a world power, and especially not multiple world powers at once. So in other words, yes I believe they would be pretty stupid to launch a nuke at just about any country.
Well, there's a second space race going on around the world, and it looks like India and China are way ahead of us. I have a feeling that North Korea just wants a cut of the action.
