According to Wikipedia, North Korea have around 35 nuclear missiles with range up to 3000 km, see link here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea#Military. I think North Korea manufacturing quality is much lower than Chinese, so nuclear missiles bad quality can lead to wrong direction during test flights. What will do US warships in the region, if North Korea missile go in wrong direction because of manufacturing mistake ?
Blow them the fuck up. They are sovereign, but we are too, so, let's exercise that sovereignty. No civilians, just remove the launcher and the surrounding three miles of earth .
People like you are the reason why american servicemen died in vain for Iraqis and Afghanis - making both of countries worse off still.
Why would "you" blow "them" up? Do you even know, IF those crazy Koreans managed to miniaturize nuclear payloads to the point that they would fit ballistic missiles?
Do you think WW2 era US bombs like Fatman could be mounted on a missile? The answer is obvious no.
Then there is another fact. Missiles are ALWAYS tested without payload both because international relations and the possibility, that they fail.
Youve just said, it would be good idea to nuke people you never met, because one day, maybe, they could do something stupid on their own soil. I wouldnt want to be your neighbour, mate.
ROFL. "They" can eat a ballistic dick. I would concede your point except for the fact that 'their' leader is developing weapons in violation of international sanctions, and directly threatening our allies. I don't know what it take s for you to be proactive, but I like heading off nuclear conflict myself, before it starts. The threats to US and allied assets aren't warranted even if their is no nuclear proliferation on NKs part; we asked them to chill, and they demonstrated a distinct lack of chill, for the last 10 years or so. You obviously voted for Trump, are you not of the same mind as our duly elected leader? Trump is playing literal fucking battleship with a nuclear powered sub as I type this, I think me and old 45 might be on the same page, for once. The threat to international security is too great, and Trumps onus to do something big bodes poorly for the situation.
And I'm a pacifist most of the time. But I don't believe in letting monsters grow to full size before you address the issue. State actors don't get to do this, especially being tres low on the totem pole of world affairs.
And I never said nuke. I said blow the fuck up. Noone should have nukes. Which is why I believe we should use overwhelming force to prevent this possibility for a unpredictable, non cooperative state actor that has shown the signs of being a dictator. No, his crazy ass should not have God's power, to unmake things. As I said, no civilians, just the launch infrastructure.
