oh oh...the shit might hit the fan now.

You would hope that the pot-bellied dictator would actually pay attention to what the rest of the world is saying on occasion. Good tyrants get economic incentives. Bad tyrants get hanged.

[ShepherdsDog]

well, the first two stages worked.

[Canadian_Mind]

Where do they get the money for this?

[ShepherdsDog]

their peasants eat grass and dirt.

[Canadian_Mind]

even so, I'd assume their GDP is 0, or next to it. So how can they afford a rocket?

Hopefully you're wrong but this launch combined with the myopic little bastards increased threats to attack South Korea, don't bode well for the future.

It's time that the international community stopped caving in to his threats and took a stand even if it means the few remaining people in his peace loving Socialist Democracy starve to death.

Or maybe we could just get lucky and have the dictorial midget asswipe attack South Korea, giving us the excuse to remove him and that spawn of satan son of his permanently from planet earth.

This time I can't see the Chinese comming to his aid, like his daddy, since if they did that, it'd mean a giant loss of the foreign income that they've become so addicted to.

All right, you're in charge of that, then.

The GDP is 40 billions US$. But I guess they receive a lot of help from China and some others to get food. So much of the GDP must be for military.

Not allowed to. International regulations prohibit shooting down other nations states' satellites.

If you think it was actually a satellite I have some ocean front property in Alberta to sell you.

Can't shoot down other nation states' missiles either unless directly threatening OR there is active hostilities between mentioned states.
