North Korea: why bother with a test?

Why would Kim nuke the United States? I mean, he is not completely retarded. He probably knows that his country would be "away from keyboard" a couple of hours after the attack.

Also, don't you guys have those awesome missile-defense systems?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, they say it's experimental. My guess is they would be ready like what if it happened. The material, that is. Dunno about the people, since it basically was mankind that fucked up on 9/11, not the defense systems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

US military is strong enough to deal with Iran and North Korea at the same time. Have a look at North Korea's military - it's basically a joke. Sure, they have millions of soldiers, but equipment-wise, you can compare them to Middle Age knights. Nobody says it would be easy, but the USA don't have to cover before anyone.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well then they will be attacked as well.

That's major bullshit right here. Nobody knows whether they have those nukes. Kim could be just bullshitting us. Ahmadinejad is too dense to have them. And even if they had nukes, our missile defense systems would kick any fuckin nukes ass, so don't act as if we had anything to worry about.

I was speaking idiomatically.
