can't they just intercept it and shoot it down?

"Couldn't all those people who were shot have just shot the bullets out of the air with their own guns?"

 

[DrunkShogun]

Just have to hope they land in the sea. Stay safe Japan.

I can't imagine getting this fucking notification on my phone. Insanity.

 

[kaiju]

Holy shit another missile over Japan?

This is insane!

 

[Chezzymann]

Someone in North Korea should rise through the political ladder, become a close official to Kim Jong Un, and then shoot him in the dick.

 

[MKIL65]

It hasn't even been a month, and they're doing it again...

 

[ponpo]

 

[Shauni]

They aren't slowing down. Time to throw an set of useless sanctions guys

The sanctions are far from useless, but they are less effective because key players (China and Russia specifically) allow them to get away with a lot through them

 

[Agent_Carnage]

It hasn't even been a month, and they're doing it again...

I guess they really need to launch their monthly Missile.

Kevin Liptak (@Kevinliptakcnn)
Trump reassured Americans earlier today they'd be "very, very safe" amid threats from North Korea

Comments probably gonna be put to the test again in his response. Life comes at you fast.

 

[SDCowboy]

I don't understand how this is surprising to anyone. Did people really think they weren't going to test more missiles?

They test them regularly.

 

[gatling]

Wow. I can't imagine living with that sort of anxiety. Having that wake you up.

 

[Extollere]

Someone in North Korea should rise through the political ladder, become a close official to Kim Jong Un, and then shoot him in the dick.

I wouldn't doubt something like this is a constant fear among higher ranking officials. Don't they all distrust each other, and are highly suspicious of one another?

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Ah, the weekly neogaf freak out thread

 

[dc89]

North Korea are bad guys.
/Trump

 

[SDCowboy]

Ah, the weekly neogaf freak out thread

Yep. It's the same story almost every week. NK tests another missile, then we circle through the same discussion, over and over.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Waking up to this is getting annoying.

 

[brian577]

Ah, the weekly neogaf freak out thread

This is happening on a near weekly basis now. Even for NK this is unusual. They are seriously pushing it.

I'm much more worried about South Korea in regards to North Korea, but knowing that America is safe from China is okay too, I guess?

 

[ponpo]

Ah, the weekly neogaf freak out thread

Yeah, everyone stop caring about countries launching ICBMs over countries they threatened nuclear war with 24 hours earlier. This happens around the world with other nations literally daily, it's time to move on.

 

[studyguy]

Downplaying a major ally having a missile literally shot over them with increased frequency seems like the strangest reaction tbh.
Normalizing it seems like a world I'd rather not live in.

 

[Owari]

I don't understand how this is surprising to anyone. Did people really think they weren't going to test more missiles?

They test them regularly.

Yeah no big deal Japan might get nuked but who cares right? The fuck is wrong with you?

 

[Shauni]

The face of the news caster in the second pic is something

 

[SDCowboy]

Yeah no big deal Japan might get nuked but who cares right? The fuck is wrong with you?

Japan is not going to get nuked. Christ.

 

[DarkKyo]

This is happening on a near weekly basis now. Even for NK this is unusual. They are seriously pushing it.

Yeah but what's actually different about this one? Just gonna be analyzed on the news and America might return some rhetoric but nothing'll happen once again because they're just aiming at the sea.

 

[eatingforwork]

Why does Kim want to ruin his gig that he has by turning North Korea into a parking lot killing majority of his people.

Because he knows nothing will happen in response. Sanctions put the squeeze on NK in various ways, but nothing severe enough to have long lasting impact. Also, China and Russia's complacency and push for "more talks" don't lead to any real progress.

North Korea is very, very aware of the impact that any real military action could result in and know the countries in Asia (and the US) aren't willing to go down that road. They're counting on it.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Yeah but what's actually different about this one? Just gonna be analyzed on the news and America might return some rhetoric but nothing'll happen once again because they're just aiming at the sea.

I think they figure America is ran by a jackass and we aren't as a big a threat.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Of corse they are, I’m not disagreeing with that. But as it’s been said millions of times, it’s them trying to Dad dick the international community. They know if they use them, they’re fucked, but they’re smart enough to realize that having them allows them a seat at the table out of sheer necessity.

 

[bitbydeath]

Japan is not going to get nuked. Christ.

This isn't fake news, this is REAL.

 

[mightynine]

It's always frustrating to watch NHK World when something like this happens because the anchor can only read one thing from the Japanese government over and over.

 

[E-Cat]

Asian Steve Bannon?

 

[SDCowboy]

This isn't fake news, this is REAL.

Right. Another real test, that they do regularly. It's a missile, with no payload, hundreds of miles up in the sky. Japan is not getting buzzed with loaded nukes.

 

[MUnited83]

I don't understand how this is surprising to anyone. Did people really think they weren't going to test more missiles?

They test them regularly.

Then don regularly test them over Japan, no.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Waking up to this is getting annoying.

Did they send out warning messages to larger areas of the country this time? Lots of areas covered on the map.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Also...like. Of course a missile went over Japan. That’s the only place it can go.

 

[DarkKyo]

I think they figure America is ran by a jackass and we aren't as a big a threat.

They know we aren't going to do shit and we aren't.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Alright, are we gonna go to war with NK by 2018?

I dont really see how they can keep shooting missiles and nobody takes action.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Yeah, everyone stop caring about countries launching ICBMs over countries they threatened nuclear war with 24 hours earlier. This happens around the world with other nations literally daily, it's time to move on.

yep the thread policing is pathetic

 

[Extollere]

Japan is not going to get nuked. Christ.

Can't you at least empathize with the amount of fear and anxiety this might put into people? North Korea absolutely loathes Japan, and has a history of rhetoric against them. Don't you think people are justified in feeling a little on edge over a nazi-like regime firing missiles over their country?

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

2000 kilos off the coast off Hokkaido again.

 

[Owari]

Japan is not going to get nuked. Christ.

Man we got a psychic up in here. Can you PM me the winning lottery numbers real quick?

Downplaying this is pretty obnoxious. Wow, you're so edgy bro. A real neogaf badass.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

The unnecessary pants shitting is worse, particularly for people unfamiliar with the nuances of this complicated ordeal.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Pretty much this. Japan should just bend over and take it. Missiles flying overhead is no big deal. North Korea is playing 4D chess. They're super smart, guys.

 

[Darksol]

Japan is not going to get nuked. Christ.

As someone living in Japan, I'm not sure if I would call NK the most reliable at firing accurate missiles that reach their destination. They keep shooting shit over us and eventually one of them is going to fail.

 

[JordanN]

Alright, are we gonna go to war with NK by 2018?

I dont really see how they can keep shooting missiles and nobody takes action.

All of North Korea's artillery is pointed at Seoul (home to 10 million people). There will never be another war.

 

[Megawarrior]

Yeah, everyone stop caring about countries launching ICBMs over countries they threatened nuclear war with 24 hours earlier. This happens around the world with other nations literally daily, it's time to move on.

When people start taking them seriously, it'll already be too late. :/

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Not sure this time.
Seemed to be from Niigata up to Hokkaido.

Ah, the weekly neogaf freak out thread

Are you serious?
Why are you even posting here?
Until it happens over your head then kindly refrain from posting here unless you have nothing worthy to contribute.

Who's the edgy assclown here? Hard to tell.

So you might say... they're useless.

There is nothing regular about firing a missile over another country.
