Trump is a chicken hawk and a liability. Why haven't you Americans gotten rid of him yet?

Because Americans are more content with arguing over stupid difference in beliefs rather than cooperating and approaching stiuations with rational discussion. That being said.... Americans despise Trump. His approval rating is under 40 percent and he has even managed to alienate his own supporters by siding with the Democrats when it came to DACA. This might end up being another Richard Nixon situation.

I had heard that their rockets keep falling apart (perhaps that is true, perhaps it is not, for now I'll assume it is), I don't know about killing hundreds of thousands but if the ones they are flying over Japan happen to break up it could kill a small number of people.  I wouldn't think they would waste any kind of warhead they are still testing.

The missle shot over Hokkaido was a Hwasong-12, a 28 tonne ballistic missle that cruises at 2100+ km above ground, if it failed and landed on hokkaido it would be carrying approximately 5/8th of it's fuel payload, that means along with the missle itself hitting a populated area at high speed, it's propellant chambers would explode, of which is mainly udmh and rfna, that sort of payload, at that sort of speed would potentially take out an area between 12km2 along a linear path, it's flight path put it smack bang over the city of sapporo, which is an area of 1121km2, and a population of 5.47million, thus 12km2 would be roughly 1.1% of the greater sapporo area, or around 60,170 of the population overall, increasing exponentially the closer it got to the city center.

Just because a missle isn't carrying a bomb, doesn't mean it isn't a dangerous thing.

I'm not saying it isn't a dangerous thing but I'd only heard about bits of them flying off not the entire thing crashing and burning. Either way he's taking a big risk flying anything over Japan without warning (i.e. such as the warning when they were "launching satellites" some years back) considering their supposed track record. You could be correct if things went perfectly wrong.  I was imaginging a scenario where just a bit of on of the missles comes off and kills a person, or a few people and/or does property damage.

Cause our education system is shit. This country will continue to elect morons like this until education is treated as a necessity rather than something you can do without

I think that you're addicted to this stuff, starocean.

Because cival uruly behavior of a handful of idiots is the same as a war with the potential to erase an entire country.

Obama said exactly the same thing, wonder how many people taking issue with Trump took issue back then?My guess not many.

Comments like these are the exact reason why NK started developing nuclear weapons in the first place.

It's the only way to defend yourself from random attacks from the US.

threat is less from neo-nazis so I approve of more violent measures against the bigger threat.  If we would have done this in the 90s with NK we wouldn't need to fear such retaliation but now it's been put off by this kind of attitude so we have to deal with nuclear Korea.
