N.Korea Test Launches Missles....
Over the 4th of July weekend the North Koreans test lauchned 6 missles, including one long-range missle.
Given the past nuclear amibtions (and subsequent disregard for the U.S. or U.N.'s feelings on such ambitions) of N. Korean leader Kim Jong Ill, what, if any, impact do you think that these tests will have for the U.S?

*cough*
Actually it was confirmed there were 7 missiles.
Seven missiles, some of which could "theoretically" reach the US or Australia, despite the best showing being feeble at best. Firstly it is the same as always - so many other nations have weapons tests many of which aren't in compliance with UN conventions, I see no reason why people should be allowed to call for war with N. Korea because they do the same as so many other nations out there.
So far there has been a lot of humming and harring from foreign ministers, the only nation that seems to be thinking of doing something concrete is Japan who claim they are considering sanctions against them. The rest are saying "we hope China takes care of it" - in the end I can't see any real global action taking place over the matter - certainly not the US invading.

something must have went wrong with those missiles, they didn't make that far simply because they are bottle rockets, not missiles.
Regardless it would, logically, seem to show that N. Korea is hardly on the verge of devastating the world with it's long range munitions, and that knee jerk reactions based on fear are not not suitable for political reactions to the tests.

i agree with that...they've been trying to develop the taepo dong 2 missle for years and they're no further forward now than their last test which was in 1998...hardly anything to warrent alarm...yet
There is no problem here, Kim Jong Ill is just trying to show off. He wants to be seen as force to reacon with, but his latest attempt just reassures that he's a turd.
I do feel sorry for the people of North-Korea, to be under the rule of him, and for those in South in case he eventually stirs shit up enough to invoke an assault on the island.

If only Team America had been made after he shot the bottle rockets. Parker and Stone would have had a field day with that one.

'Hahaa Western world! You doom is inebibeble!'
(Jong Ill pops his bottle rocket)
(rocket fails to travel beyond the border, and only cause a lone farmer a mild headache)
- 'what was that last transmission, our doom is inevitable?'
'Yes! inebibeble! Open your freaking ears!!! Open wide for number two!'

I'm sorry, but I refuse to take any missile named "Dong" seriously.The Taepodong? It's like a bad d*ck joke. Ironically it couldn't stay up for that long either, before it flopped into a liquid-mass.

I don't think it will be a problem with the U.S. but as said before Japan MAY do something about it but not likely. I also agree on the fact that the U.S. does get offended pretty easily over things so with G. Dub in office who knows what might happen. 😐
