North Korea test-fires a new type of anti-aircraft guided weapon system, with its leader Kim Jong-un watching at an observation post in this compilation photo released by Pyongyang’s state media on May 28, 2017. (KCNA-Yonhap)
North Korea is nuking up because of Iraq, Syria, Libya and few other country’s that has been invaded by other big country’s. Now do you blame them. It just prudent common sense.

The real news would be if North Korea has a test target that comes anywhere close to approximating they type of aircraft they will need to shoot down…
…unless a sub-Saharan African nation chooses to attack.
Knife, you are right. America has a baffling record of attacking countries and disposing useful and stable dictators who gave up their WMDs… only to replace them with disorder.
It must be part of a master plan.
Seems the only accomplishment so far is to put grandkids in debt to Chinese so defense contractors can meet quarterly goals for the forseeable future.
More Americans are waking up to the fact that there are those within the ruling class who promote falsehoods to start wars that are profitable to their companies and to themselves.
Sadly, I fear it won’t ever be enough to make a difference.
I am not happy that we sent cruise missiles into Syria after a supposed chemical attack. Maybe Assad did. Maybe he didn’t. I can only hope that Trump was operating at a higher level than the obvious when he ordered that strike.
Chickenhead, what do you make of us now finally supplying Syrian Kurds with weapons to help take Raqqa. They seem to be the only group in the region worth a shiit when it comes to battle. The Turks are probably going to be pissed. I don’t know enough about the Kurds to say, but doesn’t it always seem like the people we back in any given middle east conflict will be the ones we are fighting within 15 to 20 years at the most.
Saddam, Mujahadeen, ISIS just to name a few.

Hmmm… not too knowledgeable about Kurds. It seems they want a Kurdistan… free of Iraq and Turkey. Good on them if they can get it.
In reality, the more everyone over there is fighting each other, the less time they have to plot on the West… or develop stable economies that can plot on the West in a more institutionalized fashion.
That’s probably a consideration in the Master Plan.

You are nearly on the money; but it is nearly 100% accurate to point out that the folks we arm who later fight us are the people armed by Democrats.
