We will mercilessly conduct spying missions, only for the life of me, I cannot imagine why.

I think this refers to the NK's larger 'claimed' airspace which we dont recognize. I dont think this represent territorial (land) overflights.

I hope we are spying on these bastards. We need all the intel we can obtain on them.

Its not spying!!! We are in international waters and airspace in clearly marked warplanes. This is not spying. This is routine observation and wether they like it or not, its not spying so suck it up.
