North Korea Nuclear Threat

[Kimon]

Alright so say if North Korea did manage to launch a missile at the U.S. Are the defenses really bad, or would they be enough to stop missiles? Would North Korea even be able to successfully launch a missile at the mainland? It seems the answers are yes and no, but I'm just gonna go ahead and ask.

their technology is too stuffty to have anything able to bypass our stuffty defenses
that being said they can't even touch the mainland

If we had 0 defenses, I would still doubt N Korea's ballistic systems, with the crappy ones we have, we're probably good.

What if NK is pretending to suck and one day they're going loving obliterate us all in an atomic-level curb-stomp battle :conspiracyKeanu:

_{and what if part of me seriously thinks that's possible ;-;}

Guys our only thread here is when we shoot our defense missiles that they don't crash into ourselves.

Assuming their missile has the capability to reach our shores and not slam into the ocean, it would be targeted upon reaching the range of our radar, and then destroyed via various different types of anti missile technology such as ground to air missiles, high flying missiles, fighter jets, laser, ect. If it somehow managed to get passed all that it would still have to fly over almost all of the US to reach DC, which they will undoubtably try to strike first. I don't think they would have enough fuel in all of NK to get a missile that far, so it would probably hit someplace in the great planes. Assuming it successfully detonates upon landing, it would probably take out a few farmers and 4% of our corn supply.

Don't worry guys, this is what their bombs will be like

Japan has a better missile defense system than we do.

Ticonderoga class cruisers equipped with anti-ballistic missile capability include the USS Lake Erie, USS Shiloh and USS Port Royal. Arleigh Burke class destroyers so equipped include the USS Wilbur, USS Stout, USS John S. McCain, USS Russell, USS Paul Hamilton, USS Ramage, USS Fitzgerald, USS Stethem, USS Benfold, USS Milius, USS Decatur, USS O'Kane, on the contrary, japan only has 5 ships with missile defense even remotely close to ours.

 The US's missile defense system isn't even at 100% capability, it's only working hard enough to shoot down stuff rockets from african pirates. Did you even research this?

 Japan's missile defence system is working hard to make sure they don't have to deal with an ounce of spent russian plutonium and the burning wooden planks that once made up north korea's glorious "Pyongyang penetrator." Oh yeah, totally not a threat at all that they are loving crazy people with nukes, that happen to be getting more sophisticated and refined every single year.

Don't worry South Korea got a girl president and she will marry Kim Jong and peace will last forever.

[Tokerovin]

HAHAHA
This is awesome.


If they try to drop a nuke on us we will flatten their country.

not by ourselves
china will get on our ass if we curbstomp nk because they don't want the immigrants

[Bisjac]

obama broke some treaties and him and the UN put a missile shield around russia.
and russia in response recently put nukes back in cuba.


but no one is talking about that REAL threat for some reason.
