AS PYONGYANG N KOREA SENDS A 2 TON SPACE JUNK DEBRIS INTO SPACE WITH ITS RECENT MISSILE TEST THAT WOULD BE AN EVENTUAL PAYLOAD OF NUCLEAR TO TARGET THE FREE WORLD AS A FIRST STRIKE TO MAKE THE PROVOCATION FROM A COMMUNIST TO THE REST OF THE WORLD - THE USA AND S KOREA CAN ONLY DEFEND ITSELF WITH THE THAAD - AS THE THAAD TO BE RELIAZED TO COUNTER THE CHINESE AND RUSSIAN PUPPET OF THE KIM

The US military wants to send a sophisticated missile defence system to South Korea "as quickly as possible", the Pentagon said Monday as it seeks to counter an ever-defiant North Korea.
After Pyongyang's launch of a long-range rocket on Sunday, South Korean and US military officials said they would start formal discussions on placing the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence System (THAAD) on the North's doorstep.
Though the launch saw North Korea successfully blast a satellite into orbit, the United Nations and world powers quickly condemned the action as evidence Pyongyang is continuing to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the US mainland.

The launch came only weeks after North Korea carried the latest in a series of underground nuclear tests.
"Without getting into a timeline, we'd like to see this move as quickly as possible," Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said of a possible THAAD deployment.

"We are beginning the consultations now and in the current days with the South Koreans, and we expect that this will move in an expeditious fashion." America's highly deployable THAAD system fires anti-ballistic missiles into the sky to smash into enemy missiles either inside or outside the Earth's atmosphere during their final flight phase.
The interceptor missiles carry no warheads, instead relying on kinetic energy to destroy their targets.
While China firmly opposes the deployment of such anti-missile hardware so close to its borders, the move to place THAAD in South Korea underscores Washington's frustrations with Beijing's failure to take a tougher line with Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons program.
