In reply to mypyrex:
From what I understand the North have the technology to launch missiles into space, and the range to reach some US sites.
We think these may be nuclear missiles , we are not sure, but we are also not sure if they have the tech to let it re-enter without destroying itself.
I understand however, that the technology exists to destroy their missile ( if launched) and if this is the case, I think Trump would be unwise to just unleash whatever it is he is suggesting, if he can simply blow the thing out of the sky as a first response.
(Destroying anything in space is going to release so much space junk that could cause allsorts of problems. )
But as I have no influence over events either way, what is there for me or you to do?
