FUCK THE POLICE (09-04-2017)

After North Korea overflew Japan with a missile launch early Tuesday, the island nation may have no choice but to knock down any further missile launches or learn to live with such provocations.
North Korea has reached a point in its missile development where it can no longer simply fire missiles straight up in the sky as it has in the past. To continue to learn and advance, North Korea must now start firing its long-range missiles on realistic trajectories, which, due to geography, means overflying its neighbors.
"This ballistic missile launch appeared to fly over our territory. It is an unprecedented, serious and grave threat to our nation," a top Japanese government spokesman told Reuters.
"We will make utmost efforts to firmly protect the lives of the people," Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told Reuters.
North Korea's missile launch Tuesday morning local time doesn't just threaten the safety of Japanese people, it also serves as a direct military provocation. The US and South Korea are currently holding a military exercise, and the US and Japan just completed Northern Viper, a military drill of their own.
Additionally, Japan had just completed a test of its Patriot Advanced Capability III missile defense system before the launch, the New York Times' Mokoto Rich reports.
The US and Japan both field Aegis-radar equipped guided-missile destroyers in their navies, and they both come armed to the teeth with SM-3 missile interceptors. With the ships in the right place at the right time, the US or Japan could likely knock out some North Korean missile fires, which would keep Pyongyang from gathering important data from the later stages of the launch.
But more important than thwarting North Korean missile tests would be sending the message that Japan won't stand for these dangerous provocations.
"NK missile flight over Japan is an Archimedean point for the US," Tal Inbar, the head of the space research center at the Fisher Institute for Air & Space Strategic Studies tweeted atfer the launch. "No REAL ACTION - and we will see more missiles on the same path soon."

About time.....
Been a while since Japan taught them a lesson.... Not sure SK is gonna be happy about it.......
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Don't we fly bombers and surveillance aircraft over NK on a daily basis ?

The point being.........if overflights are casus belli then the US is the prime cause of provocation. Or do you think that it's OK for the West to provoke war because it follows a Judeo-Christian god ?

I'm aware that you're the forum idiot- but invading a sovereign nation's airspace with any nuclear-capable vehicle is a provocation. The fault- as you may or may not come to understand over time- is with the instigator. NK, no doubt, is well aware of what happened to the non-nuclear nations of Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq and others .

Forum idiot;
Do you have PROOF that the US is flying "bombers and surveillance aircraft over NK on a daily basis"??
You're attempting to defend US provocation. I don't have to elaborate any further.

Can't provide anything to support your dumbass accusation, so you're going to act like the pigeon on the chess board; by knocking over the pieces, shitting on the board, then puffing out your chest and acting like you've won.
You're as full of shit as you've always been.
