[B]BREAKING NEWS: North Korea launched a missile Sunday morning that flew 430 miles and landed in the sea, a first test for South Korea's new president [/B][I](full headline)[/I] [quote]SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea launched a ballistic missile on Sunday, the first test since a new president took office in South Korea last week and called for dialogue with the North. The missile took off from the northwestern city of Kusong, and flew more than 430 miles before landing in the sea between North Korea and Japan, the South Korean military said in a statement. Data on the launch was still being analyzed by the South to determine the type of missile. The United States Pacific Command detected and tracked the missile. Marine Corps Maj. Rob Shuford, a command spokesman, said that flight data indicated that it was not an intercontinental ballistic missile, the type that most concerns the United States.[/quote] [url]https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/world/asia/north-korea-missile-test-kim-jong-un-moon-jae-in.html[/url] i don't know if this is [I]political[/I], per se but i'm guessing it belongs here

Kim Jong Un knows that North Korea doesn't stand a chance against anybody, but also that retaliation on anybody's part will result in the biggest humanitarian crisis in history. He's telling the entire world to stop hitting itself.

430 miles is a lot less than I thought. [t]https://i.imgur.com/nCdDnqB.png[/t]

Just want NK to do something so we have an excuse to clean them up already.

[QUOTE=OvB;52225506]As if they value anything or anyone there.[/QUOTE] There can't be total emptiness or "unimportant citizens' along that [I]entire[/I] path. Government buildings, other military installations, crucial manufacturing centers, etc. have to be in the area too.

[QUOTE=meppers;52225385]430 miles is a lot less than I thought. [t]https://i.imgur.com/nCdDnqB.png[/t][/QUOTE] Kind of fucked up that they just randomly launched some shit into the sea. Should clean it up.

[QUOTE=redBadger;52225519]Just want NK to do something so we have an excuse to clean them up already.[/QUOTE] As much as this level of provocation can become annoying and sometimes worrisome, having innocent civilians killed to justify the means of war isn't a pleasing prospect.

[QUOTE=meppers;52225704]china does it all the time[/QUOTE] But does China have an exceptionally long history of failed rockets and ones exploding minutes after launch as NK does, though?

I still think the inevitable Korean War II is going to start when NK shoots a missile wildly into the sea of Japan and it accidentally kills a Japanese / SK civilian fishing vessel.

[QUOTE=meppers;52225385]430 miles is a lot less than I thought. [t]https://i.imgur.com/nCdDnqB.png[/t][/QUOTE] If they put their missile base a little closer to tye border, they have just enough range to nuke hiroshima again

[QUOTE=General J;52226182]I still think the inevitable Korean War II is going to start when NK shoots a missile wildly into the sea of Japan and it accidentally kills a Japanese / SK civilian fishing vessel.[/QUOTE] There've been shoot ups and killings so far, a small fishing boat won't flair the war up again.

I hope it does piss Russia off. They've moved troops and shit close to the tiny slither NK border they share. If anyone would go for a land grab it would be Russia. Hell what a fun surprise that would be

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;52227000]Is this real, because I don't see anything about it on the WH site.[/QUOTE] Can't find it on the site either, yet multiple major sources are reporting on it. Weird.
