1. Norks to launch as missile from their east coast into the Pacific.
2. Hawaii is east of Korea.
3. The missile is headed in that general direction. (east)

Um, see, the thing is, that part you just made up. The report doesn’t say that. It says “toward Hawaii”. Might be true, might not be. But you’re just adding in filler to support your position.

to me being weak on defense

Let’s just say I found it surprising that your first reaction to a report about the Norks’ expanding ICBM capability was a nonchalant, “they have lousy aim”.
