The US Missile Defense System Is Only 50% Accurate Against North Korea

When "deployed" our motor vehicles are not "fully tested" for crash worthiness either, but we still "deploy" them and hope they won't be "fully tested," but nonetheless they will be and have been.

If the other guy believes you won't pull the trigger, regardless of the "reason," it is more likely that one will have to pull the trigger. Originally Posted by LexusLover

They fully test crashing cars. Drive them around for thousands of miles. They make notes and re-iterate. They investigate crash sites. Manufacturers and dealers have a database of flaws and sometimes have to release those flaws to the public. Is every crash investigated for any model of car? No. But enough is known for any instance of newer, common known car to be considered crash worthy and insurable.

Nobody has fully tested an ICBM launch with MIRV reentry at a distance with nuclear detonations. They have tested "pieces" of it. Do I think they will have a 50 plus percent of success? Yes. The same applies with ICBM missile defense systems but I think the success would be lower. But since neither has been fully tested nobody really knows. In fact, the 50% figure is at the same time meaningless and comforting.

North Korea would be committing suicide if they waged a war against the United states. I've provided a clear and concise video to illustrate that.

Which is why they have recalls.

BTW pharmaceuticals are the same.

Computer modeling is about as close as "we" can get with ICBMs.

This country has probably more "live" experience on launches and re-entries as any country ... with the Soviets/Russians right behind. We've also led in target acquisition and strikes once the "payload" is launched with actual detonation at the target.

Will there be failures? Perhaps. Is that a deterrence? No.

The Japanese, South Koreans, and our friends and allies in the Pacific theater are the ones who will suffer the most, most likely. All of them, including the North Koreans, Chinese, and Russians, are historically familiar with "suicide missions," so don't judge their decision making by your own.

In the process of devastating the North Koreans we have the most to lose from a successful strike on the U.S. mainland by a NK missile with a nuclear warhead. Just look at the consequences of 911 ... on this country. Japan and South Korea even more so. So, our pre-emptive strike must be quick and complete.

Play your video. But you should know by now that lunatics are not concerned about the consequences to themselves or the people around them .... anyone who would "flame thrower" his ex-gf really doesn't give a shit.

No, because the analysis of the video was centered exclusively around conflict between N. Korea and the United States.

Things blowing up things at the least.

Carry-on.

I'm surprised he hasn't crafted a good ole conspiracy theory into the NK nuclear missile concern .... such as something cooked up by the Chinese and the Russians ... with a sprinkle of Iranian spice in it.

(I rarely link to posted links on Eccie unless I am familiar with the destination!)

Actually, NK still holds the Pueblo as a captured US warship.
That's more than enough for me.

IMO, Pres Lyndon had a serious judgement error on that incident.

The pre-emptive strike against NK will have to literally paralyze the military/communication/command instantly and eliminate the capacity for NK to launch any kind of a retaliation strike ... to be effective ... and avoid any "Allied" damage.

Small example:
