North Pyongan Province
P!
Clever folks, these North Koreans. Just keep poking sticks at the “paper tiger”, and you find out what is behind the facade.
Whatever resources the North Koreans may be holding back now are sure to drain very quickly, once the spigot is opened.
For a comparable historical comparison, consider the position of Japan in 1941. With oil from California and what is now Indonesia cut off by embargo, it was clear that Japan, which then could only produce about 10$ of their peacetime needs domestically, was soon to be starved out altogether. Seizure of the oil producing areas of the Netherlands East Indies and Borneo was their lifeline, until they were finally interdicted as the war turned against them, with the engagements in the Philippines and Okinawa, cutting off the transport of oil from these southeast Asian sources. The Japanese were strangling, but defiant almost to the end.
Does North Korea wish that kind of outcome? Because it WILL happen if they persist.
Area of N Korea is about the size of Indiana.
Pretty sure we can pinpoint anything we want.
Is this about MULTIPLE launch sites being set up?
And if it is suspected to be just a “test” of A missile, then why would they need multiple launch sites being set up, and multiple missiles?
What am I missing?
Yes, it is possible to be paranoid with North Korea today, and yes paranoid they will seek to perform some sort of “first strike” and NOT on the U.S. but on South Korea to “soften it up” for an invasion.
It’s a defensive move... they’re saying ‘if you hit us we’ll still have the ability to hit you back’... One more reason to make the first strike the only strike needed.

Looks like Fat Boys trying to show the elites in Pyongyang city he’s “protecting” them from US threats, which they do believe is happening. Which actually he’s protecting himself.
