Trump Orders Military to Shoot Down North Korean Missiles (Headline, Newsmax)
Newsmax ^ | 9/8/2017 (Asian time)

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Have not yet read the article. Newsmax used to be a reputable source, but I'm not positive of that now.

But they're highlighting this on the top of their website.

And I believe scheduling a missile launch in about 24 hours.

Sounds like CINC has ordered enough counterstrikes to assure there WILL BE NO MISSES.

Why can’t we just hire the Israelis to take out their sites?

1-2000 feet off the ground would be good. Kim would be able to see it and run like hell before the debris falls on his fatass.

You don’t remember the Patriot and the Scud during the Iraq war?

It wouldn't be the first time that a news organization released a story they believed true as fact. They are hoping to elicit a denial, or, if actual events confirm their suspicions, they hope to appear prescient, ahead of the news cycle. Ruddy's outfit needs that pretty badly right about now.

They really need to make sure they don’t hit a plane.

Would be embarrassing if they miss.

I'd be surprised if they did, but nothing's guaranteed.

Yes I’m not positive this is a real story.

Didn’t Newsmax somehow, maybe a year or two ago now, go through some sort of an ownership change? Or some sort of a change?

I remember something, but not the details. I remember however, making a note to myself, that they might no longer be reputable.

I think at that time it was in reference to possible anti-Trump agenda?

I think. Sorry I am vague. Not trying to play games with anyone.

If this is not a real story, sorry.

Just thought I would mention it, is all.

You are covered; but that is for Japan to announce, or not.

Trump controls the military? Why are cross dressers still in uniform? I guess if Mattis doesnt like the shoot down order, he will ignore it too?

“...good idea to shoot one down while still in NK airspace ...”

Better yet, light it up right as it leaves the launch pad.

That’ll send a real message to that little commie f-tard.

Bingo. Like the V-2 on the launch pad, only more so. Target the pad and take it out completely. Then watch the bastards jiggle up and down until out of what few carbs they and take in, except for fat-boy. Oh, and see just how short a time he lasts then.

Agreed.Sending them over (or close to) Japan's airspace is,IMO,an act of war.Ditto South Korea's.

Send a couple of Aegis class destroyers armed with extended range Standard III missiles off the shores of Korea to catch boi Kim’s ICBMs in boost stage.

Never seen the US shoot down any rocket. Israel and Russia put tons of money into this technology. We have thad, that has been tested where? Just asking...

So you don't count the stuff done during GWI? I know those were different animals but missiles were indeed shot down were they not?
