there's been an E-4 (strategic command's "doomsday plane", it would carry every important member of government if poo poo were actually going down) flying over my head the entire night annoying the gently caress out of me. they regularly take those things up on touch-and-go and cross country training flights

Yeah that's what I thought. I don't think NK would cause a global war because no one cares about them. However, a conflict with them would still result in a massive loss of life on both sides.

I want people to play that stupid Dragon Age tabletop RPG with. That's my bucket list before our Donny-caused nuclear apocalypse.

Oh god.

Whenever I think about Dragon Age I get mad at how badly DA2 hosed up the tone and flavor of mages and magic and how that basically cut down a fantasy universe as it took its first steps, cause they doubled down on it in DA3

Dunno if they're deliberately trying to outsmart missile defenses. The article just states that NK shot off four missiles and that launching four missiles simultaneously would be difficult for THAAD systems to intercept.

But regardless, RIP Japan and, shortly thereafter, everyone else

south korea cares. they still see north koreans as countrymen and wouldnt want to see them killed. south korea is also really scared of a refugee crisis in north korea because they would be expected to bear the burden of millions of malnourished and under-educated north koreans flocking to them.

china probably cares in that north korea is an ally, but not really because north korea is a minor ally that causes a lot of trouble internationally.

that thaad deployment has been planned for a while and fucks up their deterrent

some kind of plausibly thaad-defeating missile test by NK is totally predictable and probably even rational/reasonable

the trick to missile defense is to have nothing worth wasting a missile on. that's bannon's true plan: when america is a desolate hellscape we'll finally be safe because nobody will voluntarily come here.

in my non-expert understanding NK has intentionally limited the monetary and food security of its people so that any major attack will result in mass starvation and a panic driven exodus of its people to both china and south korea. neither of those countries want that to happen because (a) a massive influx of refugees is never fun and (b) the average north korean has literally been starved to the point that their brain couldn't develop correctly and then pumped full of propaganda until their world view is completely warped, so you'd be dealing with a refugee wave of idiots who can't function outside of their current society. also NK's baseline response to any attack is to lob explosives randomly into seoul which would kill thousands of people.

but no worries friend, president trump is very smart and a pro-tier negotiator so between him and his crack team of A+ list cabinet members they'll figure out a way to de-escalate this thing to the best possible interests of all involved.

i guess a NEACP would be like inherently a doomsday plane

but once i was on an airbus a330 going to toronto and i went to use the shitter and i guess i didnt close the door right bc while i was sitting there the door started to open and the two young canadian lady flight attendants were sitting right there and i was embarrassed even though they were facing away from me so it felt like doomsday

Build a new Seoul. Gradually evacuate old Seoul for the new Seoul. Then let KJU lob a bunch of missiles at empty buildings until his excitement causes him to wheeze uncontrollably. Capture him - swaddle him - give him a bonnet - now tell him repeatedly that he is quite nearly the cutest baby in the world - and then follow him around the world as he solemnly trains to become the number *one* most cute baby in the world.

north korea is unlikely to cause ww3

it will however cause probably the single largest humanitarian crisis in maybe ever idk

also the RSC has come out against the AHCA. That's probably murder she wrote.
