Default Crazy!

They (N. Korea) Wants to launch a satellite into outer space.

That shouldn't worry the Planet right?

The people who run this country are crazy. Think about the position they are already in. Their country men are eating Dog, Cat and maybe a squirrel as cattle.

They don't care about being destroyed! I pray to God that they( NK aka N. Korea) don't shoot a missile at us.

But if they do!

No Comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the Air Force and have been stationed in South Korea twisted and visited the DMZ 4 times. The NKorean military threat is real and there is NO GOOD mililtary option. Although NKorea isn't yet a serious threat to the United states they are a threat to Japan and South Korea. NKorea has a million man Army and could destroy Seoul and Inchon within hours. The deaths would be in the hundreds of thousands and make OEF and OIF seem like a cakewalk.

What's the big deal about shooting aircraft down in your own airspace after warning that the aircraft would be shot down for entering that airspace??

I'm not getting the controversy here?....Or is this just more American exceptionalism???

We can do it but you can't do it.

I remind you that we are talking about North Korea. If you don't see the problem with them, then you are either ignorant or naive. I hope none of our leaders look at the situation in the same way as you because I would fear for the lives of the millions of South Koreans and Japanese. If North Korea ever develops a nuke that can hit anywhere in the United States, we'll see how you feel then.

I'm responding to the thread subject here and you are rambling on about some bigger issue.

Do you think it is OK for the United States to fly planes into the sovereign airspace of another country after being warned not to?

I hope our country abides by the treaties they enter into, one being the UN Charter which prohibits a Country trespassing in another's sovereign territory.

Are you aware this is a violation of International law? No exceptions are made for N. Korea.

How should the N Koreans react to these intruders?

Yes I do think it is okay for the US to fly planes over North Korea. I'm not rambling. I'm looking at it realistically. They are threatening to invade south korea and to attack japan. We need to put all our satellites on them. We need to blanket the entire country with spy planes and UAVs.

Fine. You are not for the Rule of Law you are rationalizing breaking the law.

This is what an "authoritarian" does. And you'll fit fine in the GOP today.

You also are dabbling in a little paranoia...We would know in an hour if N. Korea was mobilizing for an "invasion" without having to violate their airspace.
Also N Korea has been saying crazy things for decades....LOL

You're a victim of right wing scary stories that has you convinced N. Korea is a credible, threat to any Nation at this time.....Pure B.S. and right wing blood lust and warmongering

...You would have thought Iraq would have taught you something.
