Perfect practice targets . Stop pussyfooting around , Knock them down .

Breaking News‏ @NewsOnTheMin UPDATE: NORTH KOREAN MISSILE HAS LANDED IN THE EAST SEA.

[central_va]

I never served on an Aegis equipped ship. I wonder if the missile intercept mission would work in port?

[Tucsonican]

That’s pretty wild. The crawl at the bottom of the screen is all about the launch but the programming is a bunch of cultural stuff. It’s DEFINITELY not the US media.

[petitfour]

What is success rate at sea?

[Cheerio]

There’s some intruige in North Korea, so I expect that FatBody will be starting a war now.

You have to wondder with all the Iranian help he has, if the suicidal "12th Iman" belief hasn't rubbed off on FAT BOY. Sure doesn't seem like he love life, if Trump carries through with his promise.

[Red Badger]

They launched a TV Station?

They’re more advanced than I thought.................

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just heard 3rd launched.

[Vendome]

Just had some BBQ ribs and beans.

I’ll be launching one tomorrow ...

[Lazamataz]

Just heard 3rd launched.

Options:

Nork is trying to hit Japan and missing, or

Nork is supersaber-rattling.

[TADSLOS]

Fat Boi is NUTZ. He needs to be put down ASAP.

[txhurl]

But it traversed Japanese land which is the same as an attack.

That's what I have been saying for months. They launch a missile and we shoot them down. Every stinking one of them. Of course that's assumes we can actually do it.

[Kommodor]

Oh, he loves life, and knows exactly what he’s doing. He knows that China has given him a blank check, and that as long as those missiles never actually land anywhere, he can do whatever he pleases.

[itsahoot]

And a question to *anybody*: if,by chance,we have that ability why aren’t we doing it?

It is really embarrassing when you miss.

[SaveFerris]

[The worthless UN is too busy trashing Israel 24/7 its all they know how to do]

Thank you. It’s what they do. It’s a miracle Resolution 181 ever passed. But that was long, long ago.

Please welcome DocRock to our pings (those of you on the ping list). Doc, Lera has a list, too. And Stonewall Brigade.

[MagUSNRET]

Just a hunch, but I think the pucker factor at Camp Zama, MCAS Iwakuni, and Yokota AFB has gone to mach 4 about now.

[TADSLOS]

Exactly. Would we put up with a missile launched from Cuba over Florida and into the Atlantic?

[Lazamataz]

But it traversed Japanese land which is the same as an attack.

Yeah, that's the straight-up Act of War the POTUS needed.

Not even China can bitch about an attack, now.

[silverleaf]

Wonder how it feels to have a madman with nukes lob missiles over your country for practice?
Something we have to “ get used to”?
