US Strategic Command systems detected a failed North Korean ballistic missile launch Saturday evening near the northwestern city of Kusong, the Pentagon said.

"We strongly condemn this and North Korea's other recent missile tests, which violate UN Security Council resolutions explicitly prohibiting North Korea's launches using ballistic missile technology," Pentagon spokesman Gary Ross said in a statement. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America. Washington called on Pyongyang to "refrain from actions that further raise tensions in the region," Ross said.

Obamas possed because his upcoming false flag may depend on a successful nork “launch”.

The Norks don’t have any missile that could hit us; the concern is with Japan and South Korea. The missile launches are a way to keep our radar focus on protecting Japan and South Korea.

What NK does have, though, is a satellite in the right orbit to EMP attack us. And the miniaturized hydrogen bomb that they tested earlier would be right for that kind of attack, if I’m understanding correctly.

An EMP attack would keep an election/inauguration from being ABLE to happen. All these leaks show us how crooked and desperate these “leaders” are. If even more critical leaks actually happen, they will be wild animals lashing out for their very lives. It is an extremely dangerous time.

IMHO, of course.

As I said earlier on a thread about their nuclear test claim of having a warhead that would fit on a missile... The thing to watch for now is missile tests with dummy warheads that are instrumented to see if they would survive and function after a missile flight. Of course, that assumes the missile actually works and lofts the warhead...

Im sure this “test” was meant to be retaliation to Russel’s comments.

All missile and nuke tech in NK is also shared/bought by Iran.

Yeah. Iran is the one that has the satellite that’s not tumbling so that’s likely the one that would be used if they EMP’ed us.

IIRC, Iran is the one that has the embassy in Venezuela that could be used as a control center for an EMP attack while the satellite is over the US, and North Korea has one in Cuba that could similarly be used. That’s just from memory though, and my memory lately is not very good so a person would have to look it up to be sure.

I don’t know if Obama’s plans have changed, but earlier this year he was planning to spend November and December in Cuba and South America yukking it up with his communist buddies including the terrorist organization FARC.
