“If North Korea were to carry out its threat of detonating a nuclear device over the Pacific, it would affect millions of lives.”

If NK does this, it will cease to exist. Personally, at this point, I would favor a drone attack of expanded special ops action directed specifically at the little fat a**h**e, with an immediate warning to the remaining military/government ‘leadership’ that they will be destroyed if they try to retaliate.

Yes, the pilot chatter would have been epic and unforgettable at 2800ft.

A journalist is someone who knows a very little bit about a very wide number of topics, and if it’s ANYTHING remotely technical, he will blow it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Freakin’ IDIOTS.

3,000 foot ICBM apogee — RIDICULOUS.

Most powerful h-bomb in Pacific history? I don’t think they’re quite to 15 megatons (operation castle).

Trump and the world will do nothing but say words if North Korea detonates a bomb over the ocean. Guaranteed.

The US will have to take a direct hit before Trump does something.

if they do, maybe we should test a W88 on Pyongyang, just for quality control purposes that is

"The missile launched, crested at 2,800 feet" Is this a mistake?

Yes, a big mistake. It "crested" at roughly 4,500 kilometers. 4500km X .6 equals about 2700 miles.

"North Korea essentially nuking the ocean would have far-reaching effects and draw international condemnation"

Yes, Europe, Asia and many in the U.S. will point and shake a finger in their direction and give strongly worded responses!!!

Yes, it should be 2,800 miles, not feet.
