I've never heard of the phrase 'out of sense'
and one of my buddies mentioned it today,
and I told him there is nothing like it.

Wondering if I was correct, I googled to find this.

------------------------
In a rare press briefing on Tuesday, An Myong Hun, North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador, emphatically denied his country's involvement.
"My country has nothing to do with the Sony hacking. It is out of sense to do that, and we very want United States to provide evidence," An said.
--------------------------

( https://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/13/asia/north-korea-sony-hack/index.html )

The N. Korean representative actually said 'It is out of sense to do that'
when asked if it was North Korea who hacked Sony.

If he was an English-native speaker, I would think there is totally nothing wrong with the phrase 'out of sense.'
As he's a North Korean, I still have this doubt.

Now, do native speakers say 'out of sense' widely and commonly? Is it more like 'insane' or 'crazy'?

I'd appreciate your comment.
Thank you.

@ehBeth,

"we very much want the United States to" is also correct...

@Region Philbis,
Could also use 'senseless'.
