30,000 feet = 9km
Am I missing something?

From highest to lowest, the five main layers are:
Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles)
Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles)
Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles)
Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles)
Troposphere: 0 to 12 km (0 to 7 miles)
Did anyone actually see this, other than maybe a plop! in the ocean..?

It seems that you have to have the qualification of being a nutter to be a world leader these days. The sad thing is that the US, Russia and China play silly schoolyard games where despite probably being able to come up with the answer if they got together as a team they just never, ever agree with each other no matter what the issue is. If they all agreed on a mutually agreeable strategy over Korea then this would be nipped in the bud swiftly.

The Buk shot down the plane at 30,000 feet not metres.
The latest Korean missile when it overflew Japan, was at a height of 770 kilometres.

The Buk that shot down the plane at 30,000 metres, could that not shoot a missile out as well?

Couldn't the Japs just shoot the missile down?
No, too high. It would need to be coming down on their territory to be within the envelope, of defensive systems they have.

"This "little mad cunt" isn't going to do anything! This is all drama for those that get excited over nothing."
shooting a missile over another sovereign state is not "nothing."
I'm guessing you'd be saying the same stuff if you were around in the 30's Piston

Were all those missile tests during Obama's era the fault of Trump as well? You know, the ones in 2013 that lead to a crisis on the Korean peninsula that almost created a war?

So North Korea - one of the most archetypal examples of a loony totalitarian regime in modern times - shoot a missile off in a show of strength, and it's Trump's fault.
Lolz.

I wouldn't be worried about this if it wasn't for trump. I think n. Korea are pushing all this solely for his benefit. They are trying to find his limit here. They want him to actually show he doesn't have any real options but to talk and give them what they want.
The problem with trump is that he hates looking stupid and n. Korea seem to want to do that so much that I'm kind of worried he'll actually start something.
If anyone attacks anything it will be the USA. A load of people will die and then they will talk anyway. Just like they always do.

He's playing a fucking dangerous game, sadly though the Chinese cunts will let him carry on and it may well end in huge amounts of people being vaporised.
The Chinese could stop all this in an instant by turning off the oil, but they are so terrified of Fatty being ousted and a western leaning leader taking over that they wont do anything that will destabilise him.
They may well regret that when chunky oversteps and a huge pall of radioactive fallout starts drifting across the NK/Chinese border.
