North Korea's calculations when launching missiles over Japan

[Mr.tung]

North Korea flashed a Hwasong-12 ballistic missile at a maximum altitude of 550 km, flew more than 2,700 km and crossed the Japanese sky before dropping into the North Pacific Ocean. Experts say there are many reasons for Pyongyang's use of the trajectory, which includes geographic and historical factors.

I think the message is pretty simple here, the North Koreans wants the Japanese to know that they are capable of hitting them whenever they want, Japan and South Korea should have an anti missile shield in place in order to thwart any future attacks by the North Koreans because this is a direct threat.

I think the leadership of North Korea will end up badly with these tests. You can not act so irresponsibly in the world arena.

[tdeannova]

Is this a test of combat equipment? Or is this a warning for japan government?

[d0r10n]

So many risky actions, but North Korea knows SK/JAP/US can't do crap, all that artillery pointed straight at Seoul, if the SK/JAP/US side initiates they can't take out all that artillery before millions in Seoul are shelled to death.

Would not want to live in that peninsula.

[superplus]

Is this a test of combat equipment? Or is this a warning for japan government?

I think it is a warning and also preparation of war as well as north korea shows that they have strong war power and do not want to be underestimated, we see the future like what.

[degaga15]

I also see this news from my tv, I think north korea wants to show the world that their country can not be underestimated, north korea has often been reprimanded by pbb over missile launching, but north korea did not respond to the reprimand and still try to hold the missile . I think later North Korean missiles could circle the earth.

The DPRK knows they are under very real threat, so they are picking on the nice people of Japan who don't even have a standing offensive military. It is widely believed the DPRK they do not know how to hit a particular target. Firing over Japan is not the same thing as hitting Tokyo. Back to the very real threat, the US military is prepared to silence the DPRK when needed. China doesn't want that to happen. China likes to have N. Korea as a buffer. The Chinese will step in before it comes to blows - but if not, the job will get done.

[Samboo]

I think DPRK have the right test any technology for its security purpose but placing trajectory of their missile through an independent country is not a diplomatic gesture. There were plenty other trajectories that may have taken.

No. There was no other choice for the North Koreans. If they try to avoid Japan, then they may need to fire their missiles over China or Russia, which will make these nations angry. Another choice is to fire them over South Korea, but that will result in immediate war.

[RamBahadur.Gurung]

If Kim Jong Un want to fight the Americans, then why he is trying to provoke the peaceful Japanese? Why can't he launch his missiles over Guam, Alaska or Hawaii? Doesn't have the balls to do that?

[VeteranCoin]

You may recall the SCUDs from Iraq and how they fired them at Israel but could not aim them. That is likely the same state of the N Korean technology. They are more interested is fear tactics than build capability in secret and then being ready for war, like Iran and others.

He doesn't want anyone to attack, he just wants to strike fear in people. If he can scare Japan, Japan can put pressure on the US to back off. In normal conditions, firing shots in the direction of another party is considered a warning shot and means, stop, or the next one will cause you damage. There are also hidden activities the public is not aware of. Perhaps Japan is engaging in some sort of cyberwar against N Korea and this missile was a warning shot to say, stop.

[yasher]

Soon, North Korea will be liberated from the Kim dynasty. The governments arrogance and show of power is the reason why this country will be invaded by the US just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

See? that is where the tourists money went for. So if you visited that place you are just funding their idiotness. They are just making an issue again we know how crucial japan is when it comes to missiles and nukes.

[BarkingHawk]

NK won't actually do anything.  They're just the worst kind of attention whores the planet has seen in awhile.  It would be beyond stupid of them to actually do any of the wild things they've said.  The rest of the world will erase them from existence if they follow through.

If all the world leaders had taken the stance that Trump has taken with regards to North Korea we wouldn't have come to this spineless leaders like Obama, Angela Merkel are to be blamed because they always gave into to what the dwarf Kim Jong Un wanted and now they have a Hydrogen Bomb but liberals are still going to defend Obama.

[popcorn1]

The worst thing of all if North Korea build their weapons and arms up to be more powerful than they ever would be that means if war all our poor sons and daughters will be on the front line..

Not the rich kids but the poor kids..

But i suppose us UK and USA love that fact  ..
The more weapons he gets the more of our own could die but all good news to you scum bags i suppose..

The war money machines are all loving this and so are you for backhanders our politicians love weapon money backhanders they love it..

Ford sold engines to HITLER to kill our own people and the USA let him do this for money and backhanders..

Just goes to show what people will do for money and then blame the poor for being the scroungers and that's why we have no money..

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED ..

I pay taxes and that means a politician uses my taxes to pay their that means i am you boss..

Now start doing as your boss tells you ..
Because like a boss we need to kick ass some days and this is one of those days ..

Now should i sack some of your asses just like a boss can ..

And in the uk the leaders are giving more pull to bosses so be careful what you wish for because i am your boss any politician who takes my taxes for wages i am your boss..

So back to work you lazy fuckers..
