North Korea Rebukes Russias Denial of Its ICBM Launch
Russia called North Koreas missile fired on July 4 an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) rather than an ICBM

As The Diplomat asked earlier: why is Russia denying that North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on July 4, 2017? North Korea is also asking the same question, and is apparently furious about Russias denial.
On July 4, North Korea successfully flew an ICBM, the Hwasong-14. The ICBM launch was acknowledged around the world including United States, Japan, and South Korea but not Russia. Rather than calling the missile an ICBM, Russia insisted that the missile was only an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), based on data collected by Russias radar systems.
On August 9, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) the state news agency of North Korea hit back. KCNA published an article Is Russia Sightless or Is It Mimicking the Blind, written by a researcher of the Institute for International Studies of the DPRK. The article rebuked Russias far-fetched assertion and demanded Russia to drop its big power concept.
In the article, the researcher first explained North Koreas big success in launching the ICBM, which made the whole world turn its eyes to [North] Korea with admiration. However, when the international community was unanimous in commenting in high terms on North Koreas ICBM even the empire of evil, the United States, dares not deny the fact, the article noted Russia is feigning blind and deaf and calling the ICBM a medium-range ballistic rocket with 681 km of height and 732 km of distance.

All the hoopla in Syria comes down to Russia holding a warm water port to project power

The B1 Lancer bombers will be in flight before your arrow arrives. If it arrives,and China has given us the green light to knock you out.
Why on earth would Hitler invade his main supplier of oil? Why would Mao threaten invasion of Mongolia? Why would Li'l Kim threaten the United States? The point is perception. The Koreans have a long standing cultural animosity towards both Russia and China. Yes, at the present time, Russia and China are very useful to the DPRK, that doesn't mean that they actually like them. With the rhetoric against Russia's claim that the launch was an IRBM vice an ICBM, the Russians may be rethinking their relationship with the Norks. By the way, paranoia seems to be built into the Russian DNA.
Who said they "liked" them? I'm saying they are a significant part of the Russia-China-Iran-Syria-Venenzuela-Cuba... "new international order" alliance, vs the US and its allies. Therefore, ain't no way in hell there's going to be any major hostilities between them.
