Russian lawmaker warned last week that North Korea is preparing for another weapons test after he visited Pyongyang He claimed to have seen calculations showing rocket could reach US West Coast Test is likely to take place on Monday to coincide with Columbus Day holiday Founding anniversary of North Korea's ruling party will also take place Tuesday

Kim Jong Un could test a new missile tonight in order to coincide with the Columbus Day holiday in America, it is feared.

The test would also come ahead of the founding anniversary of North Korea's ruling party, which is due to take place on Tuesday.

Russian lawmaker Anton Morozov warned last week that Kim was preparing another launch 'in the nearest future' after returning from Pyongyang.

Kim often times weapon tests to coincide with American public holidays.

Few international observers believe the North would actually attack the US or an allied country because there is no possibility it could win a war with America.

I think the reason why we haven’t done anything like that is due to the massive amount of artillery launch sites the Norks have set up along the DMZ.

Unless we have a plan/weapons that can counter that.

“He claimed to have seen calculations showing rocket could reach US West Coast”

I can find those in any college physics book.

The folks in Seoul need to be evacuated slowly over the next few weeks. Just assign a new street to evacuate each evening until the whole place is virtually empty.

Then fire when ready.

IDT is what matters.

International Date Line will make it October 10

October 10 is anniversary of founding of North Korean Communist Party.

The missile test would be a celebration of that for North Korea.

These tests have occurred between 11pm and midnight CDT -- as I recall.

Should have been IDL — not IDT — for International Date Line.

No one said anything about winning a war, they would just have to mortally wound us.
