"Maybe We Shouldn't Be That Concerned About A North Korea Missile Strike"

http://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwarz/maybe-we-shouldnt-be-that-concerned-about-a-north-korea-miss


The characters on the map translate to "U.S. Mainland Strike Plan."



The only problem is the world isn't flat, it's round.


So the path of a missile sent from North Korea to Austin, Texas, wouldn't be a straight line. It'd be like this:


And the path of a missile from North Korea to Washington, D.C., would actually go across the Arctic Ocean.

flat earth believer. Your map is a product of the depraved Western culture. Furthermore, North Korea has secret burrowing weapons that will strike devastation on the United States by passing through one side of the flat earth and emerging at the target. There is no friction or gravity on the underside of the flat earth.

This amazing new technology was first envisioned by Josef Stalin and is absolutely true. Kim Jung Un has declared it so, and so it is.

Know fear, puny America!

He'll shoot the missile past the tiny, hot star at the center of the earth and nuke DC that way.

straight line thinking doesn't work out and his missiles land in some ocean somewhere. He may hold more than one theory.

I'm not sure where they fit into his pointy head, but who knows?

Missiles falling well short of their intended targets, taking a dive in the Pacific Ocean, will be dealt with later.

It is as inept, for sure. Can leader Kim see Alaska from there?
The picture of dear leader and his generals w/the strike plans map looks like a bad prop created by the Tea Party republicants.
