The US has the capacity, ability and now the fortitude to knock any North Korean "test"....out of the air in mid flight, especially if these (wink, wink) TESTS are directed over the sea of JAPAN in the general direction of a US ALLY.
What would happen? North Korea would have its midget dictator Neutered on the world stage when the world realized he had the skills to do nothing but brag.
so using surface to air weapons is now preemptive strikes?
do we just make things up as we go on this forum?
