Today North Korea sent a message to the US, in the form of seven ballistic missiles. Obviously, they didn't hit anything, but it is still going to increase tension between the UN and North Korea.
What I'm wondering though, is why in the world they would launch missiles that they know aren't going to get close to the US. Also, North Korea isn't exactly the largest country, and if the US was to go to war with them it would be over very quickly. North Korea wouldn't be able to match the size of the army, and our own nuclear weapons could wipe them off the map if we chose to use them.
How do you feel about the situation? Will the US once again be police of the world, or will we for once make the UN deal with this on their own? Is Kim Jong Il just stupid, or is there a reason he spends millions of dollars to develop missiles, then sends them shooting into the ocean?
hmm how about delusional? No at first I actually saw the citizens as more of idiots for letting him be their leader, but then I found out that supposedly people are indoctrinated into believing he has supernatural powers, or something similar to that, and on top of that he has a hierarchy of loyalty, meaning the most loyal have easier lives. No I believe their leader is most likely delusional thinking he is more powerful then he really is. Though that is just an opinion I have of him.
