Korean BBQ when?
(Yonhap) — North Korea launched a ballistic missile on Saturday from an area north of Pyongyang, South Korea’s military said.
“North Korea fired an unidentified missile from a site in the vicinity of Bukchang in Pyeongannam-do (South Pyeongan Province) early this morning,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement.
The JSC is analyzing the type and flight distance of the projectile.
Well, I wish they hadn’t gone and done that.
Things get messy now, and people will die.
We did all of our most important testing 72 years ago.

It is amusing that all of North Korea’s apocalyptic fantasy videos depicting the destruction of the US, use stock images of mushroom clouds created by US nuclear bombs.
“This is where we have got when we have two bellicose, belligerent leaders, both ratcheting up the rhetoric. I believe Japan, South Korea and the allies have to stand up strong. We have to bring Kim Jong-un to the negotiating table, not to his knees."
Missile landed in the Sea of Japan as per Fox news.
Coincidentally , launched on a Japanese National Holiday - Showa Day . It honors the birthday of Emperor Showa (Hirohito), the reigning emperor from 1926 to 1989.
The space agency in North Korea is known as NATRS.
Their primary mission in life is not to explore space, but to get an ICBM into it... (not really caring where it lands)
Their N.A.T.R.S acronym stands for:
N eed
A nother
T eam of
R ocket
S cientists
(failure is not an option)
we should advocate a re-militarized and nuclear armed Japan. It doesn’t have to happen, it only has to freak the Russians and Chinese out enough to snuff out the little whack job junior in NK.
Geosynchronous satellite, bursts transmission telemetry hack.
Kaboom go the NORKY missile?
Or the laser cannon?
Or both?
The problem with north Korea is the government is itself inherently unstable. Its not a matter of if it will collapse but when and what happens just before it does.
Normally when countries like North Korea collapse the leaders get rounded up and shot. The Kim Regime is already made it clear that they intend to try and destroy the world just before that happens. They want to go out in a fireball.
So South Korea, japan, and the USA is in a tough spot. We are all within range of their nuclear missiles, and likely targets for different reasons.
South Korea because they are still at war, Japan because they still hate the Japanese for World war 2 occupation, the USA because we are their biggest current threat, and are certain to defend Japan and South Korea.
We could probably trigger revolution in North Korea by simply hacking into their News network and broadcasting the stark difference between north Korea and the west.
But again that might just trigger the collapse and war we wish to avoid. Unfortunately the only alternative is to try and buy off the regime leaders to get them to open up their country peacefully, and allow it to collapse into South Korea and China.
This however has not worked to well in the past when South Korea attempted it by building factories in the north. The Kim Regeme is too crazy, unstable, and eager to cut off ties to make demands. The only thing that matters to them is internal politics and their own power.
