#1 Is anyone else thinking that sending a barrage of cruise missiles into the NKor launch site ASAP would just clear the air?

#2 I don't want to intercept their satellite. I want to intercept the ICBM test vehicle that is launching it.

#3 If countries such as the United States, Japan or South Korea try to intercept the launch, the North Korean military will carry out "a just retaliatory strike operation not only against all the interceptor means involved but against the strongholds" of the countries, it said.

"Shooting our satellite for peaceful purposes will precisely mean a war," it added

Gee, thanks for cutting our missile defense, President Dumbass

#5 Retaliation? With What? they can barely afford to launch one (Assuming they have any intention to launch at all), and this isn't another publicity stunt that can't really lift at all.
