North Korea moves warplanes into US bombers’ flight path after warning Trump they’ll shoot down any American jet they see
The dictatorship's foreign minister yesterday claimed Pyongyang could target US jets flying outside North Korean airspace after President Donald Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea.

NK leader fat boy is crazy but not (too) stupid...He is well aware of what will happen if he does attack the US in any fashion...China is NK's only friend and protector, and they have flat told them that if they attack the US they aren't going to help them and they are on their own...
Apparently South Korean intelligence stated that have observed the movement of Nk fighters to the east coast. What is surprising about this fact is that it started happening after the U.S. told the public of the bomber flights we had north of the DMZ. This is odd in the fact it suggests that Nk wasn't aware our flights occurred until after news sources put it out there. In any case, thinking Kim isn't stupid to try and shoot down our aircraft is a miscalculated thought as his country has done it multiple times before with no repercussions.
Kim Jong Un is like that noisy yap yap dog next door that keeps barking and barking, but never bites.

That's the attitude that led to him firing missiles over Japan and testing hydrogen bombs.

He's like a dog that growls and his fur stands up, but he never bites. He's just putting on a show. Iran likely has the same nuclear capability, if not more. They just have the common sense not to grandstand about it and remain secretive. I'm much more wary of them, than I am North Korea. China has North Korea on a leash. Nobody has Iran on a leash.

He's literally shooting missiles over our allies. You can pretend that it somehow equates to a frightened puppy, but in reality, he's an unstable lunatic with nuclear capabilities.
No matter how hard you try to downplay that, it doesn't make it any less true.

Dude, he's shooting missiles that may or may not be carrying nuclear warheads right over Japan.
NKs war planes look like the prop plane from major league.

It's the rockets I'm more worried about. The most modern fighter jet they have is a MiG-29. As in, the MiG-29 that was top of the line when Top Gun came out.

Would you care if Mexico was shooting rockets over Orlando?

We'd just build a net and make the Mexicans pay for it. Right?

I prefer lasers. Let's build lasers and make George Lucas pay for them.

Have you seen how rarely George Lucas' military weapons hit the target?

Only when wielded by Stormtroopers. The Death Stars (and that planet killer thing) were highly accurate. Although, I mean, shooting at a planet from a few hundred thousand miles away, you'd have to be Greedo to miss that.

Han shot first. Greedo was accurate, just a slow trigger.

Deflection aside, any hostile country shooting rockets over one of our allies should be a concern.

Orlando is part of the U.S., Japan is not. Major difference.

Based on our relationship with Japan the difference in very minor.

... always deflecting.
They're an ally; we're obligated to protect them if it hits the fan.

What? If someone hits my kid, yes I'm obligated to protect them. If someone hits a friend of mine, I'm not obligated to do squat!
