Reply to comment by hundredjono in North Korea launches missile 'believed' to fly over Japan by electromagneticpost

Until he miscalculates and it actually lands somewhere that isn't determined to be international waters and an act of war.

Only then will we get to spank the baby.

Isn't flying over it already that?

They launch them so high up they're basically in lower orbit.

Ah, but knowing where it comes from, I think its a matter of time till they go puff and land on the wrong spot and all hell goes loose

I actually think the likelihood of a malfunctioning rocket being fired over Japan is extremely small. N Korea understands that these tests make them just enough of a threat to their enemies that they won't attack N Korea. But if a test goes wrong and one of those missiles drops out of the sky and lands in Japanese territory, Japan and their allies (America first in line) now have a valid reasoning for invading and dismantling their government and military. N Korea is likely only launching their absolute best rockets with the above understanding about how perfectly things have to go for them.
