    I'm leaning more towards no way - North Korea is pretty closed  they don't even use the Internet so their system couldn't be hacked. Successfully launching a ballistic missal isn't as easy as lighting up a roman candle so things can go wrong. Anyway it's not the size of the missal test failure that matters it's how you use it. Trump might use it to make fun of North Korea's missal program and North Korea might step up the pace to spite Trump. Cheers!

    I have no idea, but I'd like to think we could have done so if we wanted to.

    It seems brilliant to me. Why wouldn't we want to do that if we could? I saw something on the internet suggesting that maybe we had a hand in it! Thank you for your reply tom! :)

    When Hitler put prisoners to work on assembling his V2 rockets, there were failures.

  • Highly unlikely.   North Korea is so isolated and the chance of even the US having a spy with enough authority to do so is unlikely.

    Occam's razor suggests it's North Korea's own primitive and archaic methods and inferior production means that are at fault.

    You don't have to have a spy in North Korea.  The system could probably be hacked remotely.  Just because the citizens don't have the ability to access the Internet doesn't mean their govenment doesn't.

  • I very highly doubt there missile systems are online to the internet.   While you say is true I don't see why they would have there systems connected to it in any way.

    I still say it's their crude weapons designs and inferior materials and manufacturing methods.

    You may be right.  Let's face it, they don't have a particularly strong economy, so there may not be a lot of money available for nuclear research.

  • They don't have many strong allies either.  Even their strongest ally, China,  is shy of them.

    I'm not sure they have any allies other than China.  China has probaby had enough of their antics.  It's like having a delinquent child.
