Multiple links included not based on my choice of "news" outlet but to give a bit of variety.
Ultimately, the facts that matter to me: North Korea made a point to claim its potential to strike U.S. military installations in Guam and in Japan.
Personally? I can't stop laughing. North Korea generally seems to be so far removed from the real/modern world that I just can't lend any credibility to the idea that they would actually successfully conduct a missile strike at that sort of range. I don't doubt that they would attempt it if provoked, but I'd be dumbfounded if they pulled it off.
I should probably be more concerned, given that I live on a Navy base in Japan...but I'd rather make a "North Korea is best Korea" joke.
Anyone have any insight or thoughts to share? [/COLOR]
