Apparently you have sarisataka Sep 2017 #57

How much leeway do you think we'd give a NK bomber flying near us? Hoyt Sep 2017 #19

About the same as sarisataka Sep 2017 #30

I bet we'd buzz them several hundred or more miles out, with rockets fired well in international Hoyt Sep 2017 #37

The only long range bomber sarisataka Sep 2017 #41

They aren't much of a threat, are they? We can tell the militia to stand down. Hoyt Sep 2017 #43

time to text RESIST to 50409 and tell your state.. samnsara Sep 2017 #8

What exactly would trump do if they shoot down one of those planes? The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #20

My hunch is he's going to test it, and all hell might break out. n/t RKP5637 Sep 2017 #25

I think he will then actually declare war and attack NK SummerSnow Sep 2017 #26

Declaring war is so 20th century. We just push buttons now. harun Sep 2017 #27

Full-on bombing campaign, most likely NickB79 Sep 2017 #39

The F-117 was withdrawn from service in 2008. gordianot Sep 2017 #52

Most likely sarisataka Sep 2017 #44

My hunch is Trump will send a drone over/near NK to see what happens! IMO we're on the edge. RKP5637 Sep 2017 #22

Donald & this guy are in cahoots. Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #34

Yup, and that limits NK zipplewrath Sep 2017 #46
