U.S. May Not Be Able To Shoot Down North Korean Missiles, Say Experts

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Top generals have been insisting for years that if North Korea launched a missile at the United States, the U.S military would be able to shoot it down.

But that is a highly questionable assertion, according to independent scientists and government investigators.

In making it, the generals fail to acknowledge huge questions about the effectiveness of the $40 billion missile defense system they rely on to stop a potential nuclear-armed ballistic missile fired by North Korean or Iran, according to a series of outside reviews.

"They are leading political leaders to believe that they have a military capability that they don't, in fact, have," says physicist David Wright, who has studied the program for years as co-director of the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

This alone is the strongest argument for nuking NK pre emptively

Good goy

So far the biggest danger to Nork missiles is that they're built by Norks. The safest place during an attack would be their intended target since they'd never manage to actually hit it.

Not gonna happen. Especially since Xi is working with Trump. It's likely that Trump will have little to do with what happens next since China is poised to move in, remove the entire government and replace it with a puppet that doesn't go waving a flaccid dick everywhere.
China gets to retain its buffer against us military/western culture and the rest of the world won't have to worry about possibly getting ICBM'd by NK in the future.

>(((Experts))) would prefer trump to drop nukes

>implying NK doesn't have a dead man switch
>implying NK doesn't have a quick enough response time

(((NBC News)))
(((Experts)))

their credibility went to shit Nov 8 2016

don't post this trash again

>Union of Concerned Scientists

Remember, it's bad to be able to shoot down Soviet missiles because that'll just make them build more missiles.

>North Korea cant even feed their fucking population
>Every single missile test has been a colossal failure
>Apparently we wont be able to shoot down a missile that wont even leave NK airspace before it explodes

k buddy

they'll be able to shoot down all the missiles except the ones aimed at southern california due to technical difficulties. :^)

Why are americans pushing for war with NK ? I don't get it.

Even at maximum range, these probably non-existant nukes would barely reach the very edge of alaska

NK doesn't have the miniaturized nuclear warheads necessary to load them onto missiles.
They have between 10 and 16 nuclear devices, all of which are huge and would need to be delivered by plane. The US's defenses in SK, Japan, and the US have no issues with shooting down NK's 1960's aircraft.
NK knows this, which is why they aren't making credible threats yet.
It shouldn't be surprising that the US would have trouble shooting down the missiles which NK is trying to develop - the whole point of NK's missile program is to make nuclear devices which they can actually deliver to their target.

>All the US has been doing the past decades is bullying poor 3rd world nations
>Barely even won those wars if at all
>Burgers actually think they can just throw a bomb on N Korea and be done with it
Top kek

They stop sending rice to NK and the country starves to death in a week

>Targeting civilians
Ah, the classic Burger tactic.

>(((experts)))
WHY DO THEYCNEVER GIVE US NAMES OR CITATIONS

Payos los debtos.

confidential

>according to independent scientists and government investigators.

???
NK doesn't have an intercontinental ballistic missile, and yea the US fully has the capability of hitting these things

>"stoping a missile is hard"

do you really need scientists to know this?

Bull fucking shit

what has Best Korea ever done to US to deserve this kind of treatment? is it because it's not 'free' by 'your' definition of freedom? I pray one day that the average American would wake up and realize what US foreign policy has done to other countries...

The last time that the US put real pressure on the Kim dynasty was in 1994 during the Clinton years. The US made it known to NK that they would conduct military strikes on NK if it was suspected that they were close to developing nuclear weapons. This led the Kim dynasty to ask for negotiations, which ultimately led to the Agreed Framework.
This was the last time we had successful diplomacy with NK. Since then, we've had two administrations which have taken a passive stance on NK, and gotten nothing done as a result.
The Trump administration probably figures that NK's primary goal is the preservation of their dynasty, and that making similar, credible threats if NK gets close to developing nuclear ICBMs (which NK has clearly stated they intend to use) will lead them to the negotiating table again. From there, they can work out what concessions to give NK in return for ending their nuclear program.

>"Say Experts"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
DO YOU LIKE LOOKING RETARDED ON THE INTERNET OP?

>barely won
No we won, its the occupation that we waste our time on, we should have just genocided the middle east and been done with it, they dont want to be civilized like the Japs or Koreans.

50$ the experts are jewish warmongerers

Maybe you should google the Korean War

>not recognizing this as obvious bait so NK strikes first

kids

correct, they don't

Only an idiot thinks that the military is aware of all of the airspace

The part about Korea was shitposting I have to admit. I still wonder who let that man piggyback him

Yes

Good goys more funding for Isra--- I mean Us military

Well, if Trump is such a "deal broker" like he said he is, the Chinese going balls in deep and taking out Kim is the best outcome.

Hell, if the Chinese knew what is gonna happen, they probably removed him after his father's death.

I still remember watching a chinese documentry about NK nukes. They claimed the Russian are the ones that gave NK the chance and tech to build nukes.

>>>>>>>Experts

Tell me more about these people who know more than the strongest military in the world.

The funny thing is, the only thing NK can send to us right now is an ultra-slow Hellfire missle. They don't have anything strong enough to carry a nuke.

We can shoot down hellfires easily. Worst case scenario, they nuke South Korea.

Their nukes are also weaker than the ones we dropped on Hiroshima. lmfao

They just don't know about the secret alien technology we got from Roswell.

Let them nuke Commiefornia.
Make sure to host as many pride festivals/black rights marches/antifaggotrallies/free buffet bar mitzvas as possible that same fucking day.
Then glass best korea, and jizz on the ashes of faggotry.

Unfortunately they don't have the range.

At most they can deliver a small bomb to it.

>translation: this shit with 50th-60th technologies barely can fly but Military–industrial complex wants more budget money gibe gibe gibe

>"union of concerned scientists"
>union
See there is the problem right there

>China is poised to move in, remove the entire government and replace it
>Drumpftards actually believe this

Pls Nuke San Francisco based Norks.

>May Not Be Able
>Say Experts

>(((experts)))

North korea also hasnt had a succesfull icbm test. So this entire conversation is retarded.

NBC is a credible outlet for such things.
NK cant even launch a fucking rocket

Only because they explode before getting high enough into the air

North Korea can't even get their missiles off the ground. They would never attack the U.S. It would be their annihilation.

I guess everyone forgets about that whole worldwide Ballistic Missile Defense System and the fucking satelites we have in space.
Lame libtard media bullshit. scare tactics.

waaaaaaa

>At most they can deliver a small bomb to it.
The only way North Korea is getting a bomb to California is if they mail it there.

>Can't intercept shitty North Korean missiles.

>Think they can handle a full scale nuclear war with Russia and not just get annihilated.

This is what happens when you believe your own bullshit Soviet tier propaganda.

retard

He's baiting them to attack us so we can unleash hell

They won't be able to shoot it down because it blows up 10 feet off the ground. Duh.

Oh well guess San Fran gets to eat a nuke. Such a shame.

>>Union of Concerned Scientists
Is this faggot OPs source? They're literal communists shills from the Cold War days.

if you don't understand why he killed his half-bro then you should refrain from posting. ever

tl;dr lurk moar cancer

>NBC
>Experts

lol

>China's funding both sides.

>try "enviar dinero para tu dueda" next time, proxyfaggot

Just put a nuke in a plane and crash it down in any big city

You can't shoot down something that was never in the air in the first place.

That being said, missile defense is just a meme and is going to stay that way for the next decades as hypersonic missiles start replacing the current systems. The US would get BTFO if Norks were actually any competent in missile technology.
