Good fucking god are we losing our minds? :wall: Just what the fuck does NK have to gain by attacking us?   They can't even consistently launch missiles without them blowing up yet.  

North Korea tensions have Hawaii pols revisiting emergency attack plans

As tensions with North Korea mount, Hawaii lawmakers anxiously are dusting off the state’s emergency plans in preparation for the possibility – however remote – of an attack on the islands.

The plans were last revisited in the 1980s. But the Hawaii House Public Safety Committee on Thursday formally called for the state’s defense agency to repair their hundreds of Cold War-era fallout shelters and restock them with medical supplies, food and water.

"They haven't been updated since 1985," Rep. Matt LoPresti, a Democrat who serves as vice chair of that committee, told Hawaii News Now. “I was 11 years old when they were last updated. Many of the buildings that are on the fallout shelter list don't exist anymore.”

While the bellicose threats and displays of weapons capability in Pyongyang are playing out on the other side of the world for most Americans, Hawaii residents – some old enough to remember the last time their home was at the frontlines – see the dispute much differently. Honolulu is roughly 4,600 miles from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.

TRUMP ON NORTH KOREA: 'GOTTA BEHAVE'

A North Korean missile launched Sunday to showcase the country's nuclear and missile capabilities in honor of the birthday of its late founder failed just seconds after launch.

However, satellite images show a sixth nuclear launch has been primed. And experts have said North Korea possesses, or could soon have, the capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles or nuclear warheads at Hawaii.

A long-range missile launched from North Korea could reach Hawaii or Alaska, said Dean Cheng, senior research fellow with the Asian Studies Center at the conservative Heritage Foundation. Hawaii is possibly a more desirable target, Cheng said, since the state has 11 military bases, including Pearl Harbor, and is the headquarters for the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) at Camp Smith.

Cheng warned that since North Korea likely has an imprecise system, missiles launched at Pearl Harbor could actually hit downtown Honolulu or other areas of Oahu.

The impact of a missile hitting the island chain would be horrific, Cheng said. Burn cases would flood the hospitals. The state would need a plan to treat people out of the urban Honolulu center, he said, particularly if Honolulu were hit directly.

While preparing the state for such an attack will take time, Cheng said the state must begin.

“This is a long-term issue that is not going to go away,” Cheng said.

Should North Korea initiate an attack, the state would have just 20 minutes to prepare, said Toby Clairmont, executive officer of the department’s Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. He told lawmakers it could take seven years, however, to prepare the state for such an emergency and ensure adequate facilities for the state’s 1.42 million residents, including its substantial homeless population, as well as millions of visitors.

Because the vast majority of Hawaii’s food supply and other goods are brought in via Jones Act-approved cargo ships to Honolulu Harbor, lawmakers also called for the state to prepare alternative sites for food and supplies to be delivered should the harbor be destroyed.

LoPresti told Hawaii News Now he's not trying to spread fear, but he wants the public to know the government is taking steps to protect them in the worst-case scenario.

The resolution, which passed the committee unanimously, requires further House and Senate approvals.

Selling some war rhetoric? Hey they "COULD" launch a nuke at Hawaii!!!!! So if this guy has a death wish why doesnt he just use his nuke on himself? Sounds like another bullshit story from Bullshit Mountain to get us into another war. Im betting this guy doesnt even have nuclear capability.

We have how many military bases in the area? Does anyone really think he would be able to AND have the intent to launch a missile at Hawaii? Fuck man, Japan, China and Russia have to be freaking out over this crap.

Just as soon as that weirdo can taunt the world with his real nuclear capabilities, they will overrun South Korea.  Those two nations hate each other more than any other two I can think of....Isreal and their "fans" included.  Iran will have a gaggle of warheads almost immediately also.

I think China is gonna quell this little shit stick for us though.

The are very militarized and have our weapons and about 25k+ of our military personnel and ALL of our military support.  This will be a train wreck though as it is determined NK would overun all of our forces and be inside Seoul in less than a week.  It'll be the first conflict where tactical nukes are used...by both sides.  TRAIN FUCKING WRECK!!!  THESE TWO NATIONS HATE EACH OTHER WITH A PASSION!

Yep.  But that crazy far kid is truly INSANE.  I really wonder if he may sacrifice it all to show the world he's no punk...which he is anyway.  China can hopefully talk some sense into him.

You want to live here? You want this, swing by the local recruiters office, every town has one

NK is easy.   Simply inform China 100% of their exports to the US will be halted if they do not get them inline.   Something tells me Trump already said something of this nature to China already.

He exhibits all the signs.  These types hierarchies start with the most "sane" person at the helm...but after each generation gets more brainwashed by their own as being "god-like", they actually start to believe it.  While most of his grandfathers weirdness and propaganda was for show, I believe his father's and now especially his, displays a severe detachment from reality showing he is a true sociopath with a lot of destructive resources at his disposal, a huge chip on his shoulder, and the mental instability to sacrifice millions to go out as a fashionable martyr.
