A not so stealth message



 According to a statement from the United States Military, two B-2, nuclear capable Stealth Bombers were sent from their resting place at Whiteman Air force base to South Korea as a routine supply and training mission. This mission was targeted at the transportation of supplies to South Korea well keeping with the United States Fear Factor. The United States feel that this mission was necessary in the sense that they must display their power in a way the North Koreans will understand, rather than following the apparent new mainstream idea of just ‘telling’ your enemy you don’t like them.
 
Completely necessary. North Korea is beyond crazy if they feel that they can still launch nuclear weapons onto the United States. Not only is there no substantial evidence that suggests that they have the facilities to manufacture a nuclear weapons small enough to put on a war head, but even if they did it would not get very far. Let us review a little bit of basic US space shall we. At the current moment, North Korea is at the United States ‘top of the list’. Anything that could have or somewhat resembles a launch site for North Korea is currently under watch by the united Sates, thanks to the United States DPS satellites. So let’s say they do manage to get a nuke, and have it mounted and ready to fire. As soon as it is airborne, STSS satellites will pick up its range and trajectory, calculate it and then send that information back to the United States, I would guess in less than 60 seconds. In this time, the United States can contact one of their many missile defense programs and deal with the problem swiftly.
Let’s make this simple. For any nuclear device to have the correct trajectory to hit its target, it must circle the earth at least once. At any point in its assent, cruse or decent stages, the United States has many different means to take it out. From low land based missiles, to contacting the missile defense agency, there is no possible way that North Korea could launch an ICBM that would EVER hit the United States. What is not for sure is if The US will respond with nuclear power in the same way, but this B2 flyby could have been a warning to just that.
