North Korea responded Wednesday to European concerns about being in the path of Pyongyang's potentially nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) by assuring the leader of Western military alliance NATO that such weapons were only intended for the U.S.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said during an interview last week with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun that "Europe has also entered the [North Korean] missile range, and NATO member states are already in danger."

They'd vote for Kimmie to launch. And blame us for it.

I wonder how relaxed they’ll feel when we launch against NK and, potentially, the rest of the Aholes that have nukes pointed at us.

North Korea and Iran are both pawns for Russia and the ChiComs.

They are almost certainly instructing both in their current actions, the increased nuke testing and provocation.

North Korea nuclear crisis: Putin calls sanctions useless

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said pursuing further sanctions against North Korea is “useless”, saying “they’d rather eat grass than give up their nuclear programme”.

The US said on Monday it would table a new UN resolution on tougher sanctions in the wake of the latest test of a nuclear bomb by the North on Sunday.

Mr Putin also said that the ramping up of “military hysteria” could lead to global catastrophe.

He said diplomacy was the only answer.

China, the North’s main ally, has also called for a return to negotiations. ...”

North Korea will start trouble with any country that writes them fat checks and then stops.

NATO is done. The only thing that matters now is the United States and Canada, we’re attached at the hip. I’d even further narrow it down to USA and western Canada. Screw the east side, they’re leeches.

My uncle was on hill 677 battle of kapyong. Let’s do it again.
