M-80s are fun to throw and blow up stuff with. And like NKs missiles they cant go that far.

Accidents happen. A coordinated strike that cripples the United States would be worse.

Its like Iran photochopping that model stealth plane against the picture of a mountain.

The news people love these nutty threats because its good for business, lots of gullible reading listening.

I cant imagine China making NK more dangerous than they are, wouldnt be smart
