If North Korea fires missles off the coast of Guam, how should the United States respond? **POLL**

[WineBottle]

Just wondering what y'all think. Are we at a breaking point with NK?

 

[ThenCosmeSaid]

umm blow them the fuck up?

what a dumb thread

 

[Jumpem]

There would be no choice but to respond. You don't simply ignore it.

Technically they aren't invading Guam's territory, I believe it will be in international waters, is that correct?

And if we blow them up, won't they retaliate?

 

[ERock]

Thankfully we've elected someone with extensive political experience, diplomatic experience, and known for making level headed decisions as leader of our country so there is nothing to worry about.

I believe that would fit in the "other" option

The only circumstances by which the US should attack NK is if they have attacked us, or there is clear evidence that they have set in motion the plan of an attack.

So are we looking at all out war if they do this?

This thread annoys me because you're doing the same shit the AP did yesterday when they published this scenario. You're intentionally being unclear that what you actually mean is NK firing a missile aimed far off the coast of Guam, but in its general direction.

 

[Skyhawk]

NK is lucky to get weapons from their coastline into the water

That's not what he's talking about.

Or a limited retaliatory strike telling them to knock it off. That could easily end up in war though. Technically we have still been at war with them for over six decades.

Wouldn't that be an act of war on our part? By the rules of war.

Countries test weapons in int'l waters all the time. This is clearly more provocative, but I believe in int'l waters nonetheless

20 miles off the coast...

Wouldn't that strike immediately cause NK to retaliate?

Shoot them down as soon as they leave their air space

Most likely.

We have no system capable of doing this

By the time the "evidence" is culminated and disseminated it will be to late....
We ought to just start doing target practice when we detect a launch...test out this new fangled anti-missile system
