US, S. Korea on high alert in anticipation of Pyongyang’s missile launch

And I'm supposed to believe the radiation stay in a 10 mile radius?

There's so much rumor and fear mongering in the public about radiation. It's worth reading up about what happened after Chernobyl, and how many people actually died (mostly it was kids from thyroid cancer). It's so much less than the majority realize.

There is not ever going to be any radiation. The only major weapons NK has we're given to them by the US. Do you really think the US would give them the ability to nuke LA?

Ok, going to call you out on this. Proof please. If any link you post contains "light water", then luke owes me 10BTC.

North Korea EMP attack could destroy U.S.

Could they put any more rhetoric in that piece? That article is nothing more than a cry for expandad powers and budgets.

I suppose some people will always see what they want to see.

To me, it seemed pretty obvious that it's an article about a NK satellite and how they could use that sat technology in an EMP attack.

It's not about a satellite. It's about detonating a nuclear bomb tens of miles above ground, so its EMP will affect a wide area.

"...North Korea’s successful orbit of a satellite demonstrates its ability to make an EMP attack against the United States..."

It's clearly about a NK satellite and how that technology could be used in an EMP attack.

This isn't rocket science, guys.

Dwight you're a fucking poet. Can I have the publishing rights bro?

While I thank you for posting that link here, I sadly have to agree with you that yes, people like you will see what your warmongering little minds want to see.

To me, it seemed pretty obvious that it's an article about a NK satellite and how they could use that sat technology in an EMP attack.

Meanwhile, to people who aren't warmongers, words like the very title of that piece are incredibly scary:

North Korea EMP attack could destroy U.S. — now
Obama must take immediate action

Holy velvet Elvis, it was a literal call for action, about a nuclear war, right in the title! Literally!

You can't get much more warmongering than that.

Hopefully this writer is just some uber-douche, scaredy-cat, liberal ass-kisser who is affected by the news too much and nothing much comes out of this, but if it does, remember that it takes a warmonger like yourself to elect warmongers like our peace-price-winning warmonger POTUS and of course to support newspapers that hire uber-douche, scaredy-cat, liberal ass-kissing warmongers.

Just like you.

Satellite has to get there somehow. It is rocket science, literally.

No shit, Sherlock. Thank you for spelling out the puns for the less fortunate here.

blah blah warmonger blah blah..

I saw a wall of text with the usual buzzwords decrying "warmongering"(7 times in one post? Really?) and not a single statement on the only interesting part of that article, the NK satellite.

Huh. Imagine that.

It's almost like..

I suppose some people will always see what they want to see.

The article is talking about this satellite?

Astronomers Say North Korean Satellite Is Most Likely Dead

By WILLIAM J. BROAD and CHOE SANG-HUN
Published: December 17, 2012

The North Korean satellite launched into space last week appears to be tumbling in orbit and is most likely dead, astronomers are reporting. The evident failure will not cause the spacecraft to fall quickly back to earth but seems to represent a major blow to the North’s portrayal of the launching as a complete triumph.

“It’s spinning or tumbling, and we haven’t picked up any transmissions,” said Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard astronomer who tracks rocket launchings and space activity. “Those two things are most consistent with the satellite being entirely inactive at this point.”

The last episode of common sense talked a lot about north korea if you are actually worried I think it might relax your fears, otherwise it is very interesting. 40 something minutes, skip to 8 minute mark to begin the N.korea topic which lasts for the rest of the show.
