Doesn't it take you back to last year when Kim was threatening to play Duke Nukem with SK and the USA amongst others?

IIRC he backed down then when the US hinted that if he tried it he'd get a bucket of instant sunshine back. :knuppel2:

Essentially, the Norks can now (in theory, aside from re-entry problems, and aside from how "miniature" their weapons have gotten) hit anything on the Pacific North American coast north of San Diego, and within a line from San Diego to just west of the Great Lakes. Everything in Australia except part of Tasmania. All of Great Britain. Everything in Asia. Everything in Europe west to the Spanish/French border. Everything in Scandanavia. All Red Sea African countries. Most of Canada other than Quebec.

Frankly, it'll be interesting if he gets couped soon.

All enquires of that nature should be sent in triplicate and addressed c/o Chinese Communist Party, Beijing.

If all they can hit is our Left(ist) Coast, I'm not sure I see what the problem is exactly...... 8)

The only problem is that DC is on the wrong coast.

Well, I have some very good friends living on the leftish coast -- I have trouble watching San Francisco get destroyed in movies now as a result of my favorite one living there.  :-[ ::)

Do you really want fallout from LA landing on you?

If the only thing coming out of LA is fallout on a regular day, even without nukes in the equation...that's pretty good.

All I can say is that in "Fear the Walking Dead", which takes place in Cali....I'm rooting for the walkers.
