    Some analysts have stated that the USA is now perceived as much weaker than two years ago. So the heavily armed nations across the globe are stepping up testing of missiles...

    What are you talking about? North Korea has been testing missiles steadily since 2016.

    Testing missiles is like testing muscles.
    If you flex in front of someone and they don't flex back bigger and better, then you won the round.

    The North Korean missile went 2,800 miles, all the way over Japan, terrorizing the populace.. they had to dive into shelters. Another possible target is Guam, which the USA owns, is only 2,100 miles away, so it's a target too.

    N. Korea hasn't fired a missile in Japan's direction in over 5 years..... The tensions are rising now because the USA is weaker with the President we have now. in 2020 Trump met with Kim Jong Un and made him back down...

    Trump met with Kim twice, the second time was in 2019. After two meetings, Kim launched eleven missiles later that same year.

    You call that making Kim "back down"?

    You are correct it was 2019. Trump was much tougher by having sanctions against n. Korea .

    Sanctions have not pressured North Korea to denuclearize.

    Yeah they are so weak NK’s pointless and impotent missile exercise was a response to a joint exercise by the US, Japan and South Korea around the peninsula.
    NK is acting on the orders of China and Russia who give them cover in the UN Security Council.

    As if the USA never tested any missiles.
    This is just another example of how other nations are condemned for doing the same thing we do. Super stupid hypocrisy. That is what it is.

    It’s flying them over a neighbouring state that’s the problem.
    Plus you’ve just posted a shock horror story in another thread about Poland maybe hosting nukes but you obviously think it’s ok for Russia to have them and threaten the west with but not for the nations they threatening to have them.
    Hypocrite much.

    Look at the DPRK on a world map. What direction should they launch missiles to do missile tests?

    "Plus you’ve just posted a shock horror story in another thread about Poland maybe hosting nukes but you obviously think it’s ok for Russia to have them"

    No, I did not. Somebody beat me to it. You are confused.
