U.S. flies bombers, stealth jets as Kim's sister threatens
Associated Press ^ | December 20, 2022 | Hyung-Jin Kim

All of North Korea’s ICBM tests have been performed at a steep angle to avoid neighboring countries. Some experts have said without the standard-trajectory launch of ICBMs, the reliability of North Korean weapons cannot be guaranteed.

Touching upon those doubts, Kim Yo Jong suggested North Korea might fire an ICBM at a normal trajectory, a launch that could be considered as a much bigger provocation to the U.S. as the weapon would fly toward the Pacific Ocean.

“I can clear up their doubt about it. They will immediately recognize it in case we launch an ICBM in the way of real angle firing straight off,” Kim Yo Jong said.

Kim, whose official title is a vice department director at the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party, is considered as the North’s most influential official after her brother, according to South Korea’s spy service.

Launching an ICBM toward the USA will trigger our early warning system, even if it’s fake, it would be very interesting and dangerous to see how the USA would react.

During the cold war the USA and Russia had several close calls that could have resulted in a nuclear war if cooler and sane minds were not present.

With North Korea you can’t be really sure what their motives are, an ICBM launch could trigger who knows what kind of response.

The North Koreans just want to be Putin’s new BF, get in on the New Axis. They are trying to deflect things but its all talk. But, if WW III starts you know what side they will be on.

as a substitute, suggesting a mud wrestling match between Kim’s sister and Jill (less radioactive byproduct footprint). Maybe make the match location somewhere like Phuket, and allow betting...

If the Norks launched a nuke towards the US, Beijing becomes a glass parking lot.

It must have made more sense in the original Klingon.
