the Norks have never said anything about a first strike or pre-emotive strike.
stop swallowing neocon misinformation
Would posting longitude and latitude of portland, oregon help or hinder?
North Korea is not trying to hit Guam, they are just sending a "test" ICBM close to it. 17 miles is still outside of our territorial waters, so we can't claim they hit our territory.
Now, if they launch and the rocket lands 500 miles from Guam, then yes, it would be pathetic.
Unless Fat Boy is replaced with someone more sane, there will have to be a confrontation with NoKo sooner or later. Our only choice is the timing of the confrontation. It’s either NOW or LATER.
A friend used to have a little Davis Saturday night special in .380. It seemed to hit just about anywhere in a ten foot circle at 20 yards. Once in a great while, it hit what you aimed at. The Norks may have that kind of accuracy. LA might be a better target for them. And Guam? Why get wasted over tasking pot shots at Guam?
I keep thinking I should tell libs I know in Portland that some people think that, if we gotta get hit, Portland would be their first choice.
Couldn’t we just well Portland to NOK?
well... sell
One of my friends was worried about losing his health care. Do the Norks have a comprehensive health care system? If so, what caliber?
It is top notch. They are making great strides in treating dysentery and tuberculosis.

“Why get wasted over tasking pot shots at Guam?”
They aren’t interested in Guam. This is nothing more than a simpleton trying to flip off a giant, in his mind. And he is so dull-witted he thinks it will have an effect. And the media is so dishonest they are using it as a slap at Trump. And the public is not calling them dishonest so the liars are getting away with it.
Let’s face it, if NK insinuated an attack on Hilary’s dog, the media would reference the ASPCA for a challenge back at them if it would make money and keep their readers happy. And NK doesn’t have an ICBM capable of reaching the coast of the US unless they sub launch. They have tested the Hwasong-14 twice and the tests indicate possibly reaching the left coast. But they haven’t indicated they can control it well enough to do so. And we know where their subs are at all times. Peek a boo.

If and when they have to go into NK to destroy/dismantle everything, they will find that Kim has no nukes and never did. It was all a ruse.
I”m assuming that their misled are GPS guided. Do the Chinese have GPS satellites seperate from ours? Can we scramble the guidance if they launch?
Everyone IGNORED You, HAHAHAHAHAHA
pre-emotive?
what is that?
“Can we scramble the guidance if they launch?”
The US works with another thought process on nuclear attacks.
The first, a ground based defense system, or GMD, is designed to defend the United States against a limited nuclear attack. That means a strike with a handful of missiles, as opposed to a massive assault of the kind that Russia or China could launch. The United States relies on deterrence the threat of overwhelming retaliation to prevent Russia or China from ever unleashing missiles against us. In the case of North Korea or Iran, we would rely on GMD to knock a few incoming warheads out of the sky. This will be done prior to re-entry in space. Thats the approximate midcourse point in a warheads journey from launch pad to target. The Pentagon has spent more than $40 billion on the system already.
The GMD interceptors are 60-foot-tall, three-stage rockets. Each has a five-foot, 150-pound kill vehicle at its tip. In the event of an attack, interceptors would be launched from their underground silos. Once in space, the kill vehicles would separate from their boost rockets and fly independently toward their targets, at speeds up to 4 miles per second.
There are 37 operational interceptors four at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County, Calif., and 33 at Ft. Greely, Alaska. So obviously these are placed to take out a small attack like Korea or Iran can produce, currently.
But to add insult to injury, Bill Clinton is responsible for the passing of the Missile Re-entry Vehicle program, MRV, to China, and they to North Korea. So their sighting capacity they currently use is a lot like our current system that has morphed from it from when it was passed to China by Loral and Hughes corporations approved by Clinton so they could sight their space shots in the late 90s.
Tack that on to the computer systems Clinton sent to North Korea to be used for agricultural improvement, which they modified to enrich uranium, and the missiles they got from Russia, we have their current nuclear attack capacity. Thanks Bill.

Thank you. I’m sure Bill got us something good in exchange. Like a butt-ugly Presidential library.
