Examples of go ballistic in a Sentence

1. Moon Hong-sik:

   The missile testing is not just done in Tongchang-ri so it does not necessarily mean all ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) will be disabled. But the most well-known one is this, so there is a great symbolic meaning if this is shut down.

2. Ronen Bergman:

   I just returned from the Munich Security Conference where I met with some very senior U.S. officials, the way they describe it they are ballistic about Netanyahu. This mindset is common wall-to-wall in all corridors of the [U.S.] administration; the Armed Service Committee, the intelligence community, the State Department, the Defense Department. I heard only one thing, and that is that this shouldn’t happen.

3. Charles Krauthammer:

   We gave in on the idea of them having to dismantle their enrichment, but even worse is the final capitulation, which was a giving in to a lifting of the embargo on ballistic missiles and conventional arms. I think even skeptics of the deal have been shocked by the degree of the capitulation.

4. John Kerry:

   The missiles are a violation of the U.N. Security Council resolution because they are longer than the distance allowed for ballistic missiles and, because of that, they represent a potential threat to the countries in the region and beyond, we have made it very clear that the missile concerns remain part of sanctionable activity with respect to Iran. If Iran chooses to violate that, they will invite additional sanctions, as we put them in place just a month ago as a result of the prior tests.

5. The North Korean spokesman:

   What the U.S. is taking the issue is not about the range but the prohibition of the launch itself using ballistic technology, this is, after all, tantamount to a demand that the DPRK should give up its self-defensive right.
