North Korea's satellite has been put into a polar orbit. Well done to them I say. Ridiculous that the US are condemning them for it. Idiots.

Sure, a warmongering dictatorship gaining the ability to launch nuclear weapons to any point on the planet. What's to worry about!

Oh yeah I forgot people believe whatever rubbish the media spews out.

A probably non-functional imaging satellite from a country that doesn't have the tech to produce anything more than an average a bomb.

Clearly a huge threat.

Rofl, even china their allies are saying it's intent is as a icbm.

"The Chinese side regrets that the DPRK insisted on using ballistic missile technology to carry out the launch in spite of the pervasive opposition of the international community.

"The Chinese side hopes that relevant parties could react with calm and caution, refrain from taking actions that may further escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and jointly uphold regional peace and stability.

"The Chinese side always maintains that dialogue and consultation is the only way to ensure lasting peace and stability in the region. All parties should resume contacts and talks as soon as possible and avoid further worsening the situation on the Peninsula."

So yeah you may want to rethink.

Just out of interest how many countries have North Korea invaded, how many wars have they got involved in that didn't concern them and how many times have they used nuclear weapons?
