Does anyone doubt for a second that there isn’t some Deep State involvement in this? A launched missle from the dictator is great propaganda for the MSM to portray Trump’s North Korea policy as a big failure!

If he test gives Trump more leverage because they’ll get another round of international sanctions. It would be a dumb move by them but that hasn’t stopped them before.

It’s not like we need Kansas or anything.

You are correct. This is their play to get Trump back to the table. Trump’s next move should be to add more sanctions and squeeze harder. This will force NK back to the table without Trump giving them anything.

Anyone catch who ‘shared’ these images with NPR?

One “expert” said it looks like a site to launch a satellite...not a missile...although the technology is relatively the same.

LOL, it’s funny watching how fast people trust the word of the BBC, NPR a think tank in Monterrey and unnamed State Dept and Intel community sources.

The very people who would do absolutely anything to stop any success for Trump in Korea. Their freaking nightmare.

This is merely media indians waving blankets to stampede the buffalo herd.

Analysts believe that it is more likely at this stage that Pyongyang is preparing to launch a satellite rather than test a missile.

Our correspondent adds that experts say the rockets used to launch satellites are usually unsuitable for use as long-range missiles.

NPR? Really? This is a negotiating ploy. Nothing to see here, move along folks and BTW nobody is nuking Kansas or anywhere else.

HERESY! Are you insinuating that the MSM would wave rhetorical blankets and stampede the buffalo who believe everything BBC NPR and their deep state and neocon buddies say?

So, seems China is willing to sacrifice NK. Little rocket man and China both will be deserving of a very expensive lesson if they continue to try jerking around President Trump. If a hot conflict breaks out, there will be no winners but there will certainly be one big loser. Hoping it doesn’t come to that.

And our 100,000 Americans here, including 50,000 US military and their family members?

Is it ok if it only goes over Guam, or Anchorage Alaska and not the US lower 48?

1 month ago there would have been an avalanche on this thread calling it “Fake News” and giving the Norks a pass and the benefit of a doubt. What gives? Why the sudden shift? Who said it was ok to go back to distrusting Kim or seeing them as liars?

I think this viewpoint is noticeably dwindling on FR, because Trump is on the verge of saying its OK to hate them once again, and the group think and bovine instinct to go with the prevailing winds kick in again.

IF true, a little rod from God will take care of the issue.
