Once again we see the "gubmint can't protect you" REALITY.

hmm.
ok. so... the next time a crazed killer wants to shoot at me and mine, would it be a good idea to somehow shoot his rifle, if you had the capability... I don't... but.
if satellites saw a missile sitting on launch pad, how hard would it be to shoot/bomb/laser the missile so that it blew up sitting there on the launch pad... and oh yeah. don't tell a soul that your team (boat/plane/land system) did it. just get on the news and say " wow, we have reports that a missile in wondonkong n.k. blew up sitting on the launch pad. radiation has spread to the surrounding base is one of the rumors that we are hearing. oh no. we hope the Korean soldiers and noko brass that were there will be alright!"

They said:

Just six months ago, most experts thought North Korea's nuclear arsenal was primitive, some academics claiming it had as few as 6 A-Bombs. Now the intelligence community reportedly estimates North Korea has 60 nuclear weapons.
Just six months ago, most experts thought North Korea's ICBMs were fake, or if real could not strike the U.S. mainland. Now the intelligence community reportedly estimates North Korea's ICBMs can strike Denver and Chicago, and perhaps the entire United States.
Just six months ago, most experts thought North Korea was many years away from an H-Bomb. Now it appears North Korea has H-Bombs comparable to sophisticated U.S. two-stage thermonuclear weapons.
Just six months ago, most experts claimed North Korean ICBMs could not miniaturize an A-Bomb or design a reentry vehicle for missile delivery. Now the intelligence community reportedly assesses North Korea has miniaturized nuclear weapons, and has developed reentry vehicles for missile delivery, including by ICBMs that can strike the U.S.
After massive intelligence failures grossly underestimating North Korea's long-range missile capabilities, number of nuclear weapons, warhead miniaturization, and proximity to an H-Bomb, the biggest North Korean threat to the U.S. remains unacknowledged—nuclear EMP attack.

I may have said this before, but humor an old man. With each new administration, we have a new “boogie-man.” The NAZIS, the Japanese, the North Koreans, the Red Scare, the Militia, the Taliban, IS/ISIS/ISIL, the North Koreans again (now in 3 administrations), Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, healthcare. Did I miss any? I am so glad that we elect or re-elect folks every 4-8 year’s to direct our focus to the proper bad guys. Otherwise, we could focus on developing communities for the common good and growing in His light.
