Exactly. Russia only keeps nukes as a defense to the US. They would not waste any of that to defend a dictatorship that they only support to be contrarian to the US

This might sound a little messed up ,but I wished that the missle had a malfunction and hit Japan (with little to no casualties) because that way NATO can do something before it gets way out of hand. If we keep sitting on our ass we are screwed and a lot of people will die.

I partly agree. It is the only way to hit'em without as much backlash

For committing the largest atrocity in the history of the world? Poisoning the East Asian coastal region? Becoming a threat to the existence of life in the world?  You can bet the entire world would hastily retaliate by throwing everything at you to eliminate the genocidal trash from the planet.

Apparently you don't know about North Korea. There will be some consequences for sure, but better than having North Korea destroying the world like they are trying right now.

They're going to have a horrible end one way or another. It's a matter of who strikes first. Us striking first prevents the US, Japan, and South Korea from getting hurt. Will there be consequences? Yes. Realistically the North will strike the South with a nuke and the US will end up wiping out the country anyway. There's no peaceful end. Sure, the Chinese could take it, but that involves dismantling their gov, which, given how long that would take, would be too late

So, you'd promote mass genocide? How on Earth can we claim moral superiority if we kill over 20 million innocent people?

You think dropping a bunch of radioactive nuclear weapons right next door to Japan and North Korea are going to prevent them from being hurt? You think committing genocide, murdering tens of millions of people, is the best way to deal with Kim Jong Un?

If the US proves their insanity by nuking tens of millions of people, how do you think the rest of the world is going to respond with their own nukes? I'll give you a hint: it would be swift and deadly.

could the missile have landed in japan ?

It doesn't have to be nukes if it makes you so mad. It can be regular missiles. We have powerful enough ones to wipe them out. What do you propose be done? Because I can't see NK even existing in the next 10-15yrs
