North Korean leader Kim Jong-un suffered a double whammy as a medium-range rocket launch failed and ally China castigated the reclusive regime for its military misadventures.

P!
If at first you don’t succeed....
BOOM!
Busy Busy.
the US should conduct another nuclear test ,delivered by a deep ground-penetrating munition ,right in the middle of their capital city of Ping Pong
Lil Kim will tie a few of the techs from the failed missle launch to the test bomb.
Perhaps “Dear Leader’s” showboating will pop that volcano that sets next to his testing grounds and messes up his playground along with China’s and Russia’s.
Someone is out of control..dude is very unstable...god help us...all it would take is one unit to follow his order to attack south and then we got us a shooting war. Don’t thinkit could happen?
Now, where is that utterly useless United Nations on things such as this? Throw them out of NYC/U.S. They are and have been anti-USA for quite some time, especially since Obama became the anti-USA cheerleader.
Yup.
And before you know it, he’ll have no more nuclear engineers!
Yay!!!!!!
How is another nuclear test related to a failed rocket launch? Why would a failed launch promote another nuclear test?
I can’t see the logic
Kim 1: Rocket?
Kim 2: Check.
Kim 1: Warhead?
Kim 2: Check.
Kim 1: Matches?
Kim 2: Check.
Kim 1: Launch!
Success brings loyalty and respect. Failure invites disobedience and contempt.
