One low orbital nuke is all the little twerp needs. The EMP would put us back into the 19th century in a minute, except we are no longer an agrarian economy and we’ve sent all our industries overseas. We hardly even have horses anymore. In other words he could kill our entire economy and leave millions to starve without directly “attacking” a single US citizen.
You don’t need precision targeting to do this. +/- 300 miles will do it; just aim for Kansas. You don’t need efficient high-yield nukes either. Just a rocket big enough, and a 20Kt nuke that goes boom.
If that isn’t immanent danger I don’t know what is. I call for pre-emptive attack on all his rockets and a total blockade of the country. Oh, and China? We don’t buy another thing from you until you toe our line. Not another thing. Shift all the production to our good buddies in Mexico.
Oh wait, I forgot. NK doesn’t really even need an ICBM, though they make a great distraction. They have all those diesel/electric submarines that run so quiet we can’t find them. So all they really need is a sub launched missle with about an 800 mile range. Or one that can be hidden on a small freighter, while using those subs as another distraction! Sneak up to the California coast and aim east. Bang. Game over.
And the only thing the USA is willing to do is to keep going to the UN to plead for cooperation from other countries - knowing full well that we won’t get it - so they can write a few mean words on a piece of paper. Yeah, that will work.
They are all testing long range rockets now!,all the small shit hole places, who cant even look after there own people
talking of long range, was it you skip? http://www.zurqui.co.cr/crinfocus/paper/airplane.html
Stop reading the guardian Peiper, its to big and there aint no naked ladies,where in the UK are you? if your in west London we could meet up for a beer
Naw, Bulldog! That was a different “Skip”. My paper airplanes were equipped 500 pound bombs, JDAM’s and nuclear-tipped Sidewinders. Scared the bejeezus out of the old man when I buzzed his barkyard barbecue.
The Guardian is Britain’s version of the NY Slimes. Rubbish. Pick up a copy of The Sun instead, Peiper. Turn to the Page 3 section. Very informative stuff there.
skip.
