Cross a bunch of this off the list:

The analysis, disclosed Thursday at a hearing on Capitol Hill, says the Pentagon’s intelligence wing has “moderate confidence” that North Korea has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles but that the weapon was unreliable.

I’m not sure why people think North Korea didn’t have the capability…Just because the US doesn’t give them tech its not like other countries don’t.

Lots of countries we do business with still don’t like us :lol:

More than likely, China steals the tech from other countries and gives it to them.

The other part of this is compare computer technology from when the US/Russia were trying to make ICBMs vs now.

You could probably build a flight computer off a android phone or raspberry pi.

He appeared to be referring to the KN-08, provided to North Korea by a Russian company and based on the design of a Russian submarine-launched nuclear missile.

This whole NK thing is kinda funny.

He’s like a little whiney baby that no one is paying attention to. So he starts throwing stuff at you and eventually you need to turn around and smack the kid and tell him to shut the fuck up.

I’m still confused why the US thinks it can dictate who has nuclear weapons.

It’s not our job to police the entire world most of the reason other countries and regions hate America is because of our constant involvement.

Because fuck you world.

I completely agree with you on this one.

I can’t wait till we free the shit out of NK.

Isn’t it more of a UN decision? Not just the US.

This whole thing is really puzzling. It seems like Un is trying to take this beyond the usual make-noise-until-someone-gives-me-attention thing. What’s his end game? Is it really just a nut sack kid thinking he’s invincible, or is someone trying to draw the US into another military engagement? Is Iran trying to weaken us so they can finally bomb Israel? If we have to spend our way through another decade long bomb/rebuild cambaign and our dollar goes to shit China won’t want the Yen to become the official currency of oil. It’d make it harder to manipulate. Does Putin want the Ruble to replace the USD as the official currency of OPEC? Hrm…

It is and it isn’t

Look at Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and all the other countries we get involved with.

I’m ok with US drawing the line somewhere this side of insane hereditary dictators who talk about destroying the US in nuclear fire and make CGI movies of doing just that.

+1 to Fry, I don’t see his end game. This has gone way beyond NK’s typical rhetoric. Add in the kid being an unknown and NK’s ever increasing capabilities and it’s not a good situation. When you don’t have nuclear missile capability and you talk about nuking Guam it’s a funny threat from a sad little man. When you have the capability, then move 2 mobile missile launchers to the coast that are capable of striking Guam and continue making that threat it’s a lot different situation.

The entire reason they hate us is because of sanctions and us involved in their business.

I’m talking about going back years and stopping our involvement trying to stop communism

It is possible to see the angle of removing the petrodollar and replacing it with the petroruble. Especially given Russian energy reserves. I think like all empires the US empire has slowly gone from being the arrogant cool kid on the block that everyone dreamed of being friends with to being the kid everyone is sick and tired of dealing with and is really just a douche. The rest of the kids are just figuring out a way to make a No America club.

As evidenced by the other articles I have referenced I do believe we are going to see North Korea do something stupid. Russia and China are the older kids who are going to pressure the young dumb kid who just wants to be one of the guys into doing something foolish. Let them take the fall for so long then step in and fight back when the time is right.

We have been souring an already rough friendship with Russia.

Russia and China have been openly touting more cooperation for economic and strategic protection. Both see eye to eye on non intervention in other countries internal affairs. Both share communist and autocratic views. They just need a patsy.

That patsy is
