I wasn't saying if we preemptively blew up Kim & Co that we'd suffer the fate of WW1 Germany. I'm saying Germany's decision to go to war in 1914 was heavily based on the same rationale as preemptively blowing up North Korea now, and it didn't work out well for them.

Any war with North Korea is going to have bad consequences for all concerned, and I don't think a preemptive strike would make much difference in mitigating those consequences.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm 90 minutes into a debate for the highest office in Germany, neither candidate has so far talked about their genitals, casually insulted entire ethnicities/religions, insulted their opponent like a teenager, there is generally-civil discourse (with the exception of both candidates taking gratuitous shits of varying severity and consistency on Trump), and I've even seen some agreement here and there.

Christ, it's downright boring.

It would appear that everything is still sane and okay in Germany.

English for non-radar dwonks?

Also is there actually any hope of shooting one of these things down at any stage of the launch? Obviously terminal is a no, but could an aegis or THAAD or whatever actually pop one out of the sky during ascent?

Did you immediately climb up on your roof and face the nearest target arms outstretched while on you fell onto your knees screaming in rage at the departing angels while death crept ever closer, ala Willem Defoe in platoon?

If not you did impending nuclear war air raid siren wrong.

Remember when we spent months on Obama's "red line" bluff being called?
Nobody's even going to remember Trump's bluff because unlike Obama, nobody takes what he says seriously at all.

Also, since we're in the ABM game again, do we have any likelihood of mounting some BOMARC style weapons out in the Sea of Japan to try to take out Nork ICBMs?
