Ok, you know your country is doing something wrong when even CHINA, your fucking ally and slave-owner of the US, is saying it's a bad idea. Jesus North Korea. Sometimes, I feel like Kespa takes a few hints from North Korea in how they handle things.
I think you got it backwards, China is more of a slave to the US than the other way around by far.

Since the general consensus in here seems to be that defending a missile attack from North Korea would be easy with the current defense systems of the US, can someone point me to a source? I'm reading about it on Wikipedia, but it can hardly said to be conclusive in either direction.. I just question the notion that it is nothing to even worry about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_DomeNot precisely the same system I am sure but I imagine it very closely parallels the Israeli defense system. Given that this is designed to track and stop rockets that are travelling a fraction of the distance at a much lower atmosphere, extrapolating the system to a much larger scale with more tracking details would seem a relatively easy thing. This is far too vague to be called a source. The wikipedia article on missile defense in the US suggests that one of the problems with intercontinentinal ballistic missiles (ICBM) is their high altitude and more importantly their high speeds.

The tactical ABM radar and performance characteristics do not allow it, as an incoming ICBM warhead moves much faster than a tactical missile warhead. Source
The US anti-icbm program is called GDM ( Ground-Based Midcourse Defense). They have had the capability to shoot down icbms even in space since the 90s. I'm sure there's something new by now, the US isn't known to show their hand when it comes to new weapons and there are tons of black holes in defense budgets.

north korean leadership has some serious issues that need to get sorted out right now.

I am more concerned about Russia. I got a feeling one time there will be a big oil fight.

I mean, I know that the U.S. isn't the most "liked" guy around the international block, but like him or not, you respect him when he could beat the living hell out of you in less than 30 days. I mean, North Korea is insane, but jeez. But we won't. Obama won't do it. Even if one of their backyard bottle rockets manages to hit something we still won't do anything.
I'm reasonably certain that if North Korea hits U.S. soil with a nuclear test, even Obama would be pretty mad.

I wonder what North Koreas average IQ is....
Like the whole country acts like an 5 year old

it's just the usual stuff NK does so they can get more humanitarian aid from the UN and the US

What would you believe if believing the wrong thing sends you and anyone related or associated to you into a concentration camp?
These "Lol North Koreans so stupid" posts are disgusting.

in completely unrelated news, a butterfly farted in the general direction of the US, so the government now is preparing immediate retaliation and to bring democracy to butterfly world. stay tuned.
point of my exaggeration was: no need to feel alarmed. they can't do anything and they know it. this is just some posturing. And i had to write that because of the 1st option in the poll.

Although you MIGHT realise this. The north korea leadership is not exactly going to be sorted out, it hasn't been sorted out since it went crazy in the KOREAN war which is still going on.
American's get all patriotic and want to blow up N.Korea everytime something like this is mentioned, but honestly it makes me sick to think about the untold death/destruction that would visit upon that area. It just seems unfair to those people that america might step in and kill them, after they have been suffering for generations.

Meanwhile NK holds the whole region hostage. Not to mention routinely kidnaps people and attacks SK. The world is surely not going to play this game for much longer.

Do you honestly think America would go it alone anywhere near the Chinese border? I am honestly asking because I can't tell.

I don't see how anyone would even manage to think otherwise; if US soil gets touched by a rocket, not even necessarily nuclear, the US will go full blown fire and brimstone and obliterate the NK regime entirely. And I'd hope that NATO and other countries would help to do it; I'd certainly support the UK government moving troops over there.
Even the most fanatical nutjobs in NK must know that actually attacking the US would result in destruction of their regime, and I can't believe that this latest bullshit is anything other than posturing by a government that fears how much of a laughing stock it's becoming.

I don't think people blame the citizens of NK, everyone in the world except them knows they're brainwashed and threatened from a young age. But many of the top brass of NK know EXACTLY what they're doing, and they're the stupid ones. The citizens are victims, the government are lunatics.

Doesn't the NATO policy say that if one country is in war, other members have to help? So I don't think you need to "hope", assistance would be provided. But not from the UK I think, what would they get out of it?

I don't actually know if that's part of NATO policy. Whether it is or not, the UK should help if NK attacks the US 'cause it shows they're totally and utterly insane, and are a threat to everyone. I'm not talking about mobilising the whole UK army, but I'd hope there'd be support.
I could understand not doing much if it was "just" a regular missile. If NK fired a nuke at the US, however, every country in the world should be baying for blood; the whole nuclear deterrant thing only works if everyone is sane, and anyone who actually dares to fire a nuke should pay for it and all countries, nuclear-armed or not, should want to play a part in making sure nukes don't get fired. NK would have to be made an example of.
