North Korea Missile Launch
Is anyone else really concerned about this? North Korea has been out of control for so long.

I know they don't have missiles that have the capabilities of reaching North America but this is truly frightening regardless.

Re: North Korea Missile Launch
They have the ability to launch nuclear payloads to South Korea, most of Japan, China, and a few other locations. This is definitely a terrifying situation.

I am truly terrified because I feel like we aren't doing anything to stop him.

Re: North Korea Missile Launch
This happened under the Obama administration as well. Where was the outrageous then? Where was the Dear Mr. President get off the golfield course?
The guy has been a loose cannon for a long time. Trump didn't create this problem.
My hope is behind closed doors that thought out plans are being made. Until I know what or what won't be done in won't get crazy.

The outrage was missing because Obama WASN'T on the golf course all the time.

If I had more time, I'd dig deeper to see if I could compare Obama's first month and a half to Trump's, but this at least gives an idea.
While presidents obviously must work remotely, he's been seen at the ninth hole often enough, plus he's made multiple comments about leaving the real work to others.
He has more than earned any scorn and outrage directed his way.

I'm not one for playing the blame game but frankly this has been going on for a long time that they have been able to develop these weapons with little to no intervention. And it STILL doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves. This is a scary immediate threat to the world! In my opinion this is one of the things that should be getting center stage right now.

I agree! It's so frustrating to me that everybody--press and otherwise--is still yapping about the wiretapping thing when this is such a prescient threat.

Re: North Korea Missile Launch
Kim Jong-Un (and IL) have been doing this for a long time.
I'm not too concerned. Have you seen the documentaries about North Korea? Or been to the DMZ? They have nothing there. It's all a show.
The only thing I'm concerned about is if they actually get Japan, S.Korea, China that it will trigger a world war, but that seems quite unlikely.

There was a huge, constant outrage over Obama's golfing...
And Obama did work with the UN to enact sanctions in 2013 against North Korea hours after they made nuclear threats against the US.

And then more sanctions in November 2016.

TOKYO — North Korea was practicing to strike United States military bases in Japan with its latest barrage of missiles, state media in Pyongyang reported Tuesday, and it appeared to be trying to outsmart a new American antimissile battery being deployed to South Korea by firing multiple rockets at once.
Kim Jong Un presided over Monday’s launch of the four missiles, “feasting his eyes on the trails of ballistic rockets,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported in a statement that analysts called a “brazen declaration” of the country’s intent to strike enemies with a nuclear weapon if it came under attack.
“If the United States or South Korea fires even a single flame inside North Korean territory, we will demolish the origin of the invasion and provocation with a nuclear tipped missile,” the KCNA statement said.
...
North Korea has tested these types of missiles before, so the point of Monday’s launches was not to see if the rockets would fly, but to test how quickly the unit could set them up and deploy them — classic training for a wartime situation, said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Middlebury Institute.
...
But KCNA reported that the 33-year-old Kim had ordered the strategic forces to be on high alert, “as required by the grim situation in which an actual war may break out anytime, and get fully ready to promptly move.”
...
Kim Jong Un is getting dangerously close to being able to start a nuclear war. Even though they will get destroyed immediately, any nuclear fallout will devastate the region, and possibly cause a major catastrophe world-wide from residual fallout....
