Sat Nov 4, 2017, 11:26 PM

Nov 2017

I'm sure Japan's military leaders told him why. tRump is throwing rotten red meat at his base.

Some arm-chair guesses:
1. Danger of debris falling on populated areas form two missiles.
2. Japan and US experts may want to observe full trajectory.
3. Better odds of recovering usable missile debris from the ocean for study of NK technology.
4. Avoiding risk of NK knee-jerk reaction and starting full-blown war.

The implication is that a country can legally shoot down overflying missiles Not Ruth Nov 2017 #36

I can't see how one can equate an airliner to a weapon in a situation like this. 7962 Nov 2017 #38

Missiles can fly higher Not Ruth Nov 2017 #40

if there was a 90%+ chance of success, I'd agree. Shoot the damn thing down 7962 Nov 2017 #37

We might have to accept missiles flying above the US, unless we ban them Not Ruth Nov 2017 #41

So are all NK's missiles outside earths atmosphere? That could be a difference. 7962 Nov 2017 #42

I believe that a ballistic missile, by design, flies primarily in international airspace Not Ruth Nov 2017 #43
