THE US is set to bolster its missile defences in the face of growing threats from North Korea which sparked outrage today by firing missiles into the sea of Japan.
The controversial move comes in response to recent aggression from the pariah state led by tyrant dictator Kim Jong-un
Earlier today the communist nation caused international anger when it reportedly fired short-range missiles close to Japan.
Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel is expected to reveal tonight the deployment of 14 ground based missile interceptors on the US West Coast.
The move will also involve the re-opening of a missile field in Alaska, and some based in California.
It would take two years for all of the systems to come online.
Today's short-range missiles launches into the sea of Japan are the latest in a string of aggressive acts by Kim Jong-un and is sure to further escalate tensions in the region.
And although no one is thought to have been killed the missile firing has enraged the international community.
It comes just a week after Kim Jong-un vowed to launch a nuclear strike on the US and a month after they conducted secret underground nuclear tests, causing a huge earthquake.
The missiles used in this firing are presumed to be the KN-02 short-range type, which have a reach of about 75 miles.
Details were apparently leaked to a South Korean news agency by a source within the South’s military.
They said: “The launch was seen as testing its capability for short-range missiles.
“It seemed to be conducted on a military-unit level, not at a national level.”
This would apparently indicate that the launch was not ordered by Kim Jong Un directly.

Seems like World War 3 is getting closer and closer… It'll only last 10 minutes though, and will probably cause more destruction than all of the previous wars combined.

North Korea and the leader needs to be taken the **** out… Nothing else can be done at this point

Dr. Strangelove time, start digging.
Get the women!

How much RSGP does a nuke cost these days?

The only real threat that I see is if China were to get involved. Fortunately, China does not support N. Korea testing nuclear weapons, nor do they support the development of them.

^^ nice calculations, lol..

I believe that North Korea's just full of empty threats. They know that if they make one wrong step, they'd have world superpowers with much higher nucleur capabilities right at their heels. Kim Jong isn't that stupid.

On a side note, Kim Jong graduated from his International School in Gumligen with an International Baccalaureate diploma, the same one that I will have in a year and a half year :P

So what your saying is that we should get rid of the International Baccalaureate diploma because only bad people have them?

[/sarcasm]

This sounds bad…Hope they have a peace-talk soon!

Almost every country in the world do these tests, firing missiles in the sea is not strange for a country to do.

The timing here is what's causing the red flags.

I personally don't think the situation in North Korea is as bad as people are lead to believe. They are just different to us all countries fire missiles into the sea on a fairly regular basis its the safest way of testing their systems.

It seems to me that the US media really just latch onto this stuff and make it way more dramatic, my friends from north america seem to be the only people who really worry about this.

To be honest, it's just standard North Korean attention seeking and rhetoric. That's all. Kinda stupid, as always.

Agreed. Im not too worried about this, I saw the title and was like "Oh Sh*t" then saw it was the sea, you might want to change that Sin XD Media just blowing proportions out of the water again, pun intended.

What nonsense. If they have to test missile systems, they fire them into their own territorial waters.. and if they need to launch it into international waters, everyone else is informed well in advance

Personal opinion here:

Leave Iraq and whatnot. We aren't needed there. When there is a superior threat such as this, we should control this.
Humans are destructive creatures. Why not take Korea and close in on the Taliban etc from all angles?

just a reminder, I'm not a politician, warlord or anything. Just a suggestion

From: core
Notice the relationship between North Korea and the Sea of Japan

Note the distance between much agreed international waters and territorial waters



I certainly hope you weren't even implying that NK owns the whole of the sea of japan.

Hard to tell who the Taliban are otherwise the war would have ended a long time ago.

I am pretty sure the North Koreans are just trying to grab more attention, they are like little attention whores who think too much of themselves. I am also pretty sure if they for whatever dumb reason decide to throw a nuke near S. Korea or Japan they will be obliterated off the face of the planet.

I seriously have no clue what North Korea aims for, I mean sure there's that leader of theirs that wants to stay in power for eternity, but besides that ? There's nothing….

Yeah. I've never really understood why they think they are the best. As soon as they started thinking that, and the wars and crap, everyone just doesn't like them anymore. Now, if they even touch another country, there will be no North Korea anymore. So, all of their work is basically pointless. XD
