Yeah, far from N. Korea... But how far can a missile really go? The Russians or some former Soviet Republic DOES have ICBM's that DO move around quite rapidly aimed at various locations in the US... And do you think those computerized tracking plans have changed?
And given the fact that Clinton was thinking about taking out NORAD...
I've given you my source...
Either way, we've gotta a problem... We still have nuclear tipped warheads from some lunatic fringe groups/countries that are aiming toward the US... And detente is NOT working in these folks minds...

An ICBM is an InterContinental Ballistic Missile. Despite the name, it is understood to mean that it can hit a target, half way around the globe, in under 30 minutes. You probably meant an IRBM.
Do you actually know what SU-22s and TU22s are? You can read about the SU-22 here:

These are
very old designs. Why would China buy them from Russia? Also, considering China's reputation with intellectual property rights (I'm thinking specifically about the many Soviet/Russian military designs that China has stolen over the decades,) why would Russia sell to them? MOST importantly, how is this relevant to anything discussed in this thread?
AIn addition to all of this, you have not provided any sources.
Also, what are you talking about with NORAD? Is that just a non-sequitur thrown in for fun?
As far as what's going on in the minds of North Koreans, how do you know?
