This content is user submitted and not an official statement

Does it matter?

They have a missile range that puts South Korea completely in the cross hairs as well as Japan.

SO????

This should not cause a war - NOPE - no reason it should.

WHY?

Well because of the FACT that every launch facility/capability is KNOWN

SO WHAT ???

Take out every missile launch capable site. We HAVE that technology/capability.

So - no reason to declare or carry-out a war. Just destroy their launch sites/capability.

PERIOD

Hostage Crisis North Korean style: Coercion, Ransom Demand, Federal Aid.

Hostage Crisis 1%-RepubliCon style: Coercion, Ransom Demand, Federal Aid.

The differences are: North Korea threatens fewer lives, demands a smaller ransom, does it less often and is less likely to go through with the threat.

Our real enemy is within.

what exactly do you expect to do about the chinese when in the words of the chinese defense minister the north korean military and chinese military are "as close as teeth and gums" or something to that effect? i mean i know we are going to go to war with them at some point but are we ready now?

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 10 years ago

No, we do NOT necessarily have to go to war with China/North Korea. North Korea is a self-imploding country if China does not prop it up. The U.S. can trigger the self implosion, too, but let us all hope that it will never happen for the sake of humanity. The U.S. had been monitoring the problem of North Korea's missiles and nuclear program for many years so we are likely to be ready and well prepared.

[-] 1 points by quantumystic (1710) from Memphis, TN 10 years ago

wrong the whole north korean doctrine is self reliance. which is why they have no real infrastructure. if they wanted they could get help from china but that is not their way.

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 10 years ago

NO country is truly self reliant. North Korea demonstrated again and again that it could not even feed its own people. China turning off its oil spigot to North Korea got its attention. Just imagine what would happen if the U.S. destroyed China's oil infrastructures for good (or at least until they could be rebuilt and I assure you that the U.S. could shut it down again and again till the cold winter climate of North Korea claims its human toll). If the Chinese retaliated against the U.S., it would be a great opportunity to settle the Cold-War scores for a good few centuries at least.

My doubts are that they have nuke capability. Weren't their recent tests shown to be regular explosives only?

[-] -3 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Their recent tests were of rocket capability - not nuclear warhead - and the rocket capability so far shows a range of around 1000 miles.

Just read an interesting article. This is the first paragraph.

Key aspects of North Korea's third nuclear weapon test, carried out on Tuesday, remain unknown. We do not know whether it was a test of a plutonium or highly enriched uranium weapon, though many experts suspect the latter. We also do not know whether this weapon was a primitive design or miniaturized to fit on a ballistic missile (though North Korea has claimed the latter). Given the relative seismic readings, this test likely had about 2.5 times the weapon yield of North Korea's second test, which according to Dr. Sieg Hecker of Stanford was in the range of 2 to 7 kilotons, putting this test at about 5 to 18 kilotons.

http://www.rand.org/blog/2013/02/north-koreas-third-nuclear-test-a-sign-of-weakness.html

Is Japan on any kind of war footing over these threats?

I'm just a bit dubious about the whole war scenario. Iraq, Libya, Syria, we've been told a heap of BS about them. I'm still not sure what we are doing in Afghanistan, when Pakistan is where all the drone strikes seem to be taking place.

There is only very negligible risk to the U.S. homeland. China, Japan, and South Korea are a different matter altogether.

North Korea still lacks the guidance capability to strike the U.S. homeland with any real accuracy although it is possible that its missile(s) can hit the U.S. homeland but that will most likely be non-nuclear and only have the effect of detonating a big bomb in our own missile test ranges (i.e., a significant amount of damage in moonscape no-man's land -- hohum). Take a random stab at a map of the western U.S. -- it is NOT easy to strike a population center. Besides, if North Korea were to strike at the U.S. homeland, it would be quickly immobilized and decapitated as having been demonstrated more than once already in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our defense agreements with Japan and South Korea ARE worrisome because what do we do if North Korea were to strike at our allies' population centers?

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 10 years ago

I do not buy it. Kim Jung-Un is very inexperienced in knowing what it means to suffer because he was the 'prince'. He may think that it is a video game until it hits him but by that time we would all be very sorry indeed because it would be too late. Thinking himself being invulnerable could very well be his downfall unless he learns to handle Realpolitik schnell.

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 10 years ago

I agree, he is young, inexperienced, and may well think he can't be hurt. I do not believe he thinks this is a video game, but probably sees this as gamesmanship that his father & grandfather both exploited successfully.

We cannot reward spoiled brat behavior. China should be dealing with him firmly. We should be ready to knock down as many missiles as possible.

Otherwise I can't say the best course.

Diplomacy, preparedness but no rewards!

north korea has a military that is trained as well as armed and equipped with modern armaments unlike iraq and afghanistan. not just that but china has a mutual defense treaty with north korea. still think that those missiles can't hit u.s. cities?

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 10 years ago

Iraq under Saddam Hussein had a formidable and fairly modern military force. How else could Iraq behave as the 'Bully of the Middle East' if it did not have the military backing? Its neighbors would have laughed their teeth off if Iraq's military force were a joke.

Iraq under Saddam Hussein proved that it had the military force to fight Iran (a major regional power) to a stalemate, conquer Kuwait, and nearly invade Saudi Arabia. Yet it proved very vulnerable twice when the U.S. went against it in operation Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom.

Afghanistan did not have the strong military force but it has formidable terrains working against military operations. Yet the U.S. military proved versatile enough to force a regime change quickly.

China's treaty with North Korea is an historical legacy. I am sure that China is getting pretty fed up with the recalcitrant North Korea, too. Remember that China IS a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council and could have vetoed any and all of the sanctions imposed against North Korea. China had a long-enduring friendship with North Korea going against the U.S. but North Korea seemed to have given China the 'shove-it' treatment more recently. China can be tolerant and understanding but it does NOT have infinite patience to be betrayed or treated as a fool.

North Korea's missile(s) CAN hit U.S. cities but that is highly unlikely to happen within the next year or so. We still have some time to address the problem but we must deal with it head-on and forthrightly, remembering that the Cold-War scores have NOT been completely settled there yet even though we now have the new global power of Chimerica.

[-] 1 points by quantumystic (1710) from Memphis, TN 10 years ago

Apparently, the Boom! time I had referred to years ago is coming rather close. I hope that the nuclear power-plant cooling tower has got enough cool-headedness by now and figures out why it had to be air-conditioned in alpine Switzerland for many years.

Switzerland borrowed the U.S. federal system, enjoyed nearly centuries of peace, and grew to be very prosperous. The papa version of the cooling tower deemed Swiss alpine air-conditioning necessary for the future well-being of its replacement.

Being radioactive is NOT being cool because the dying ember from the most violent explosion in the universe, a supernova, is inherently "hot" even after billions of years of decay. It's unsuitable for masculinity unless hostile boobs, curves, and crevasse are present on the alpine glacier. Paetu means whitehead (placed there by God to guide the ★Hero★, I believe), a supervolcanic pustule about to erupt. Having conquered the swampy Pounding Laundry, District of Cleanliness, "the Redcoats are coming, for the zit!"

Everything except for the unsinkable H.M.S. Brexit aircraft carrier (of bats with nightvision? Is "SEOUL" the name of the Chinese junk's control stem?) has turned out roughly according to my projection years ago.

There IS a very "cool" usage for extremely "hot" radioactivity to kill parasites in "night soil": {Biosolids that meet Class A pathogen reduction requirements or equivalent treatment by a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP) have the least restrictions on use. PFRPs include pasteurization, heat drying, thermophilic composting (aerobic digestion, most common method), and beta or gamma ray irradiation.} referenced from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_sludge.

"[E]very launch facility/capability is KNOWN" is NO longer a fact due to the mobile missile launchers (phallic Transporter-Erector-Launchers{TELs} helping to compensate for impotencies in harams, forbidden cities, brothels, whore houses, etc.). The U.S. has to occupy DPRK in order to find and destroy the missiles and nuclear bombs.

There may still be a little bit more time (at most a few months) left for diplomacy to solve this problem. The U.S. is rather sparsely populated in most areas so without accurate guidance, any missile will likely just be a curio to our people but it will surely trigger a decapitating response.

"[E]very launch facility/capability is KNOWN" is NO longer a fact due to the mobile missile launchers.

With all of the satellites in orbit? I'm pretty sure the locations of mobile launchers is detailed Hourly.

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 6 years ago

Satellites follow Newton's Laws so they are definitely not omnipresent because they must freefall so fast that the target moves out of line of sight very quickly at speeds of at least thousands up to tens of thousands of miles per hour.

JFK's desire for a close-up reconnaisance of Cuban/Russian SAM-protected medium-range-nuclear-missile sites, capable of nuking many U.S. East Coast, Midwestern, and Southern cities, was why a U-2 U.S. pilot was sent to fly over Cuba and killed during the Cuban missile crisis. DPRK has moved itself into U.S. range as Cuba was so the North Korean missile crisis will come within a few months at most. Hostile nation within range shall either be disarmed or eliminated. My assessment is that there will be a full-scale war on the Korean Peninsula, probably nuclear. Our kingty FrisCo is desperately seeking a scratching post. A war may well allow the imposition of martial laws to stop any undesirable probe. Robert Mueller will then be deemed as public enemy number one, for sure, by the tyrant-aspirant turned tyrant. I can only cry for help, "Texass! Texass! Texass!" Then you will understand why we tolerated and love a BIG ass, for shielding.

What has DPRK got to trade? What has the U.S. got to trade? Is it possible to upgrade the 64-year-old Armistice for a Treaty? Frankly, I know VERY little about the Korean Conflict except a little bit through my Dad's (who was in Greater Yokohama/Kamakura area, Japan {but never in Korea} for a while, together with the U.S. Occupation Force following the U.S. nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Listen to the hibakusha) and third-handedly/fourth-handedly/fifth-handedly other clan members' words of mouth. I say, "WTF?" I think most people in the U.S. feel the same way, not even being spermatozoa at the time of the conflict. With 25 years being a generation approximately, 67 years is almost three generations ago!

I am sure that China and Japan can claim that Korea was Chinese and Japanese at some time past. On that same basis, I claim Amero-Eurasia as my Urheimat. I need to raise a military force to reconquer what is rightfully mine. Almost every single cell of my body bears the evidence supporting my claim for my rightful conquest. If Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts, we'll need new Lebensraum und Todesraum (Vergißmeinicht). Eurasia is perfect for housing the Remnant so we should start building the Amero-Eurasian Empire Now.

SR-71 Blackbirds were developed to solve the close-up reconnaissance problem and NO SR-71 has EVER been shot down despite their being shot at for many times in the many decades of service to the U.S.A. They outran/out-maneuvered everything. Fly fast, fly high, peek, and remember fast, wherever the targets may be (even those under the protection of the North Korean Surface-to-Air Missiles and all Soviet MiG interceptors).

Of course, I am NOT the only one who knows about Newton's Laws so the U.S. Defense Establishment has surely thought about this limitation before and come up with solutions.

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 6 years ago

Apparently, you haven't considered the resolution of details issue. Besides, North Korea is NOT located near the Equator. Strictly speaking, the special satellites should be called geostationary and not geosynchronous.

Have you wondered how a satellite-TV antenna can lock in on a particular geostationary satellite for years without being adjusted for where it is pointed at? I was fascinated by the question of how a Stationary antenna could track a body Freefalling for Years without needing any adjustment. The straying of the satellite from the geostationary spot is just lost in the loss of resolution at such a great distance from Earth's surface.

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 6 years ago

The term geosynchronous refers to the satellite's orbital period being exactly one sidereal day which enables it to be synchronized with the rotation of the Earth ("geo-"). Along with this orbital period requirement, to be geostationary as well, the satellite must be placed in an orbit that puts it in the vicinity over the equator. These two requirements make the satellite appear in an unchanging area of visibility when viewed from the Earth's surface, enabling continuous operation from one point on the ground. The special case of a geostationary orbit is the most common type of orbit for communications satellites.

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 6 years ago

Better resolution observing Earth's surface requires close proximity which requires high orbital speeds and therefore shorter satellite life due to air friction. Perhaps those license plates were actually read from close proximity to the Earth's surface. Check the platform from which they were read. If we could track license plates which presumably move over time with their vehicles, we should be able to track the illegal aliens crossing our borders. No such capability seems evident.

Being geosynchronous means repeated observations can be made at most twice a day and nothing (such as a mobile missile launcher) is clearly visible and identifiable from more than twenty thousand miles away unless we use a huge telescope but that is not practical for making and launching. A number of Hubble Space Telescopes suffice but they cost too much. Even the U.S. cannot afford that.

What's some actions we can do locally as a group to get Ows believers runing for a government post. I imagine there's a filing fee,. ...here around $450, for an individual this might be prohibitive.

To file an initiative, the cost here is less, $5.00. That will raise awareness, but will to,require organiztion http://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/elections/Initiative%20and%20Referenda%20Manual.pdf, coordination, wording and agreement on initiatives.

Thank you gsw, I know your motives are honorable, but I also know collaberative, cognative disruption, when I see it. We should all have a PHD in that here by now.

Anyone who has seen Grapes' posts can see he goes intentionally way out of character here, on cue. It is a routine, a little Abbot and Costello act that insults the intelligence.

I can also see from the syntax of his silly attempts to act "crazy," that he used to post here under another name, I don't remember what, pretending to act "crazy" to discredit this movement.

Truth is, I don't care all that much, but all these see-through games do get tiresome.

Anyway, forget all this! Let's focus on issues, as you and many others have done so well.

I do have to go again, but thanks for your well intentioned effort towards harmony. I wish it were always possible:)

Why yes, gsw, I am collaborating with a dick head. :/

If you are going to accuse me of collaborating, at least make it a smarter dickhead.

Classic example of GF's arrogance. Didn't even bother to read gsw's post, in which he was defending her/ trying to reconcile. GF, you're just a flying, flaming, hit and run ego tripper. . .

"I'm in with the movers and shakers - can't be bothered with the opinon of one 'stupid, little, humble,' member of the 99%. Got bigger fish to fry - yada, yada, yada."

I've seen this attitude all my life - and it fucking SUCKS!

""""""LOOK AT ME - LOOK AT ME!!!!""""""

gsw is the real article, and your obscene dismissal of him without even bothering to read his post says it all about you.

Who the fuck do you think you are to sit in judgement of everyone here ? Who you present youself as here simply has no bearing on who you really are! Words can't ultimately hide the nature of the soul. You are arrogant, entitled, condescending, over-privilidged, vulgar, manipuating and obscene.

Fuck You GF. Just Fuck You.

There will be no more well meaning apologies to you from me. You can be assurred of that - and if I were you, I'd steer clear of me on this forum in the future. That is a warning.

You are such a piece of fucking shit. You always were. You're a multiple ID douche-bag that skips in under this ID makes a faux cry and skips right out with a huge drama fest over leaving. Then you send a bunch of pretentious pms. There were never any meaningful apologies from you.

You and your bullshit you are free to hate me now

Get this---I was always free to hate you, jack ass.

There is nothing to sit in judgement about, hon. You just don't like it when the truth comes out. As a rule, I steer clear of you unless you decide to pop your head over to say something completely disingenuous and be a general prick. Don't fucking threaten me ass hole. Either bring your shit on or sit down and shut the fuck up. Fuck you and your warning.

The Thought Dominatrix? I almost like that. It has a certain black leather appeal.

No. Not the best. I figure that since you have more than one ID and you have been posting recently because you obviously cannot stay away then it may as well be you. If not, why miss the opportunity to .............smack you.

Everyone was endowed with the faculty of understanding but it takes effort to uncover and exercise it to improve our judgment which will forever fall short but will nonetheless be always improved.

What, you all disappeared again? Gotta go somewhere and try to figure out yet another angle???

[-] 1 points by GypsyKing (8708) 10 years ago

Collaberation a little here - what? Trying to make me look rediculous while at the same time confusing my identity?

Come on GF, you like to put others in the hotseat. What's the two of you's little game here?

Fuck it, you aren't worth the bother.

[-] 0 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

I have one id, jack ass. You have multiples.

I think I would rather see the end of every stinking insane government.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

Seems like an awful lot of bs to keep playing this game. Running out of viable threats.

[-] -2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Time and Long Past Time to end the endless war BS.

[-] 0 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

I agree.

The really sad thing is - that we have the technology to end strife over water resources and over power resources - we have the knowledge to raise up Dr.s and clean/green tech engineers and land conservationist farmers. We can stop polluting the planet with fossil fuel extraction and use.

Except for the fact of the insanity of those in positions of power to continue on as they are.

'Cept there is money in it.

That's why I said, lets skip the shit.

[-] -1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Money in Death - unfortunately - True.

Insane assholes.

There is money in Life - Healthy Money.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

I agree with that. But, apparently the money in death is greater or they just won't get their cut.

[-] -1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

They should get cut alright.

But, apparently the money in death is greater or they just won't get their cut.

Or is it just easier to Destroy then to Build?

Or is it a matter of Destroy 1st - to then sell Re-building materials afterword?

Getting chased off of your land by a corpoRATion/business is nothing new. This happens when governments can be bought.

[-] 0 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

Yep and with the help of the UN. The problem that I have is that there is seemingly no accountability with the corporations.

But, but, but...........the government let me. So...............basically none of these bitches has a shred of decency in them.

basically none of these bitches has a shred of decency in them.

Nope None - not in the USA - Not in any other part of the World.

Unbelievable how Americans can be simple minded. Yes, let's not start a war, let's simply destroy their launching pads. Doh! Wait, that would start a war! What do you think would happen if a country would destroy America's launching pads (it has the most in the world). You don't think it would piss you guys off? Where do you live? In some kind of fantasy land?

Start by getting rid of your own nukes American boy. Then we'll have something to talk about. You ain't the world's police.
