Something is going on internally, because viewed externally, his actions make no sense. The TD-2 was his hole card, and he flipped it in exchange for zilch, in fact for negative value.
Not if he wanted to monitor the reaction and capabilities of US/Japan forces. The next Scud array might carry neutralizing force against tracking so the TD-2 can escape detection in the launch phase.
Feint with the right, hook with the left.
I thought that too on the 4th. Why would he idiotically show all his cards, than a thought came...WHAT if this is an SOS by his military to bring the USA in a liberation type situation like Iraq...hmmm, makes you wonder!
Maybe the Iranians wanted some proof that their money was being well spent. I can't imagine that their observers in NK were too impressed with the launch. I'd hate to be the NK engineer in charge of the project right now (if he's still among the living).
Very good point. I been asking the same. Maybe Kimmy is dying and decided to fire away.
But, you are attributing logic to a nut-case. The fool is simply starved for attention. Probably his mommy didn't love him enough.
I propose sending in Hillary as an AmbASSador. She might get through.
