Wild stuff, TKL. Looks like they're going to go through with the missile test. What's the weather like in Korea at the moment? Looking clear for a launch? I don't even know if that would matter with an ICBM.

Domestic propaganda value aside, why broadcast this to the people? Whatever is said to them to get the masses fired up will only infuriate the Japanese, worry the South Koreans, and concern the Chinese. They don't seem to be pretending that this is another 'satellite launch' like last time. This looks like straight saber rattling.

Gee, it sure would be too bad if it was to have some kinda accident or sumptin.

What's the t-minus right now?
