So let me see if I have this correct, We (the USA) is not supposed to have nuclear weapons in South Korea, but we do. But, we are upset that North Korea has nuclear weapons on their soil in their own county (just like we have). I remember reading something along this line once before. Country A had placed missiles in Country B that was close to Country C. Country C was pissed that those missiles were there and claimed it posed serious threat to its security. Country C demanded the removal of those missiles under threat of literally having its fingers on the nuclear button. Now, I just can’t remember but wasn’t that the Cuban Missile Crises? What if N. Korea looks at the US like we looked at the former USSR, and they view S. Koreas as a puppet regime of the USA, like we viewed Cuba a puppet regime of the former USSR? Wouldn’t that mean they have the right to threaten us and S. Korea with whatever weaponry is at their disposal, like we did?

Actually, I don't think anyone in Hawaii truly believes a N.Korean missile could make the 4,500 miles from there to the Hwn Islands.

I read the actual article’s translation and at the end the Japanese, South Korean and other non US intelligence agencies admitted that the N. Koreans don’t have a missile capable of reaching Hawaii. The actual article is a lot more speculative in nature, something many US media outlets seemed to have omitted.

Now that also brings up the other issue. Didn’t I read a few months ago in the Honolulu Advertiser, and right here on Punaweb about the success of our military on Hawaii to shoot down these incoming missiles? Yeah, I know we failed a dozen other times and failed several times since, but judging by many peoples Rah-Rah cheat beating, flag waving response, I would think they would welcome the opportunity to show that our military success that day was not the exception, but the rule.
