North Korea says missile launches were nuclear attack simulation on South

North Korea says its recent barrage of missile launches were a "simulation" of a nuclear attack on the South. It comes as intelligence suggests North Korea is preparing to hold its first nuclear weapon test in five years. In recent weeks, Pyongyang has launched seven sets of missiles in response to recent US and South Korea drills. On Monday, state media published extensive reports claiming the missiles were designed to carry tactical nuclear weapons. These are small short-range weapons intended for use on the battlefield. They said the military practised loading the missiles with dummy versions of these miniaturised warheads.

The supposed rift between Putin and Xi over Ukraine is pure fantasy. Expect coordination between the two allies as the proxy war in Europe reaches critical mass. I would say this release is coordinated with what the Russians appear to be doing in Europe today. Perhaps the Chicoms will step up soon as well. Little Rocket Man is very small potatoes compared to what’s going on in the Uke situation.

Whole world teetering on the brink of global implosion.

If he does a nuclear attack on South Korea he may want to think what way the wind is blowing from.

Aren’t you glad we don’t have any more mean tweets, and now have an alliance with the NORKS?

[Old Yeller]

All talk, no rooster.

Can you remember the situation before the scamdemic? The NORKS were in line. Trump had China by the economic throat and we were going to reverse 30 years of RINO sellout. You’d have to check your Bible to find the last time the prospect of peace looked so good in the Middle East. The Russians knew Trump would reign in NATO’s latent hegemony and Putin also knew Trump would drown his economy in cheap Bakken oil if he tried anything like Ukraine. We were looking at the Trump Pax Americana. Now, we’ll be lucky if any of us survive the results of the theft of the ‘20 election.

Empty threat! Who nukes a nation that you want to take for food and technology?

The Kims have have never given up on their dream to be treated as a first World power.

I don’t think nork missiles can deliver a nuke.

This is what happens when you have a weak nitwit in the White House.
