It will be interesting to ponder if there are already Japanese subs already in the splashdown area in hopes of finding and retrieving the debris.

I read somewhere recently that NK missiles were thought to follow a supply chain that originated in Ukraine.

Wreckage would certain help in confirming.

Friend of mine in Japan got woken up from a North Korean missile launch alarm.

Honestly, I think I'd be job searching in the US that same day. Big ole "fuck that" to the whole "cultural blah blah" experience.

Because smarter and cooler heads are in South Korea and Japan at the moment also not the first time it's happened I don't think.

In the world where people don't jump at every casus belli they can find, just because they will savescum out if it doesn't go so great.

If North Korea shot a missile straight into a Japanese city, wouldn't this still be the case?

Interesting to see many people here care about NK. Do you guys care about life at NK in general?

The question that's relevant is whether China considers it enough of an act of war to stand back.

The next is whether it's enough of a threat to be worth the cost of responding, even if China accedes.

The answer to both is probably no.

You misunderstood my point. "Here" is to imply teamliquid. There are facebook /many forums online and even reddit/subreddit, and to me teamliquid is a forum focus on gaming most . For example, if I want to read about NBA stuff, I rather go to reddit NBA or reddit Boston Celtics to know what people think, rather than go to teamliquid's NBA topic.

About my question, I am just surprise because i found out there is a topic relating to NK. Most of the news relating to North Korea is relating to missle launching/ nuclear bomb v.v... Other than that, NK is a total myth for the world. It happened to most of the people and myself. Just recently I discover a fanpage who post pictures and videos relating to NK inside life, and thanks to that I know more about it current society right now. So i m willing to establish a topic if there are enough care and willing to discuss, rather than totally focus on current events report by main stream Western media.

he understood perfectly what you were asking, but his response was unnecessarily hostile.
to answer your question i would say no, most people cannot say with complete honesty that they care about north korea's general livelihood, much like most people dont care about africa.
they are aware of it and would maybe express sympathy, or even make the occasional donation but thats about the extent of their interest. to be fair, for the majority of people thats probably the most they can do to help.
but to clear things up for you, most interest about north korea i would say comes from the nuclear missile programs, ongoing hostility and possibility of war. without these things north korea would just be another africa; a country people know needs help and a shit ton of work to make properly livable, but dont really do much about it.

If you are expressing suprise that there is an active thread dedicated to North Korea, you have to remember that Team Liquid which has its roots in starcraft broodwar, which means that it would have a bigger focus on South Korean culture and issues than would otherwise be expected in a western gaming forum. Plus this is the general forum part, where there are loads of random political threads and North Korea has been a hot global issue for a few years now.

Thanks for your answer. In my opinion, your interest comes directly from the media's impact, because most of the time media focus on the the topics you mentioned, rather than other NK's information.

And based on other source which I have read and reviewed, in my opinion, the living standard in NK is pretty medium, not so bad as people often imagine.

Actually when I search key word "korean" or "south korea", most of the topics are relating to gaming. There are two big topics relating to non - gaming issues in Korea (the topic about K-pop and this topic), and that's quite small compare to the thread about gaming here. So you cannot say that Team Liquid has bigger focus on SK culture.

Ok, come back to the topic. If I recall correctly, Japan has a surface-to-air interceptor known as the Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) with the US. Why don't Japan just use that?

There could be many reasons. Those missile shields are notoriously unreliable. Why risk missing the NK missile and causing public panic when it was a test rocket with no payload?
