This adds weight to the speculation from a few days ago that the NK missile launch MUST fly at some point, as there is a deal between NK and Iran that includes the launch as a demonstration that would fall thru if it did not.
I cant help but wonder what good a missile is that takes days to prepare. This missile has to be fueled and set up. A job that takes several days.
American intelligence sources would know days before a launch that preparations were being made. The only hope of using this as an offensive weapon would be the surprise of calling it a test and using a warhead. The country using it would only have the one shot. Of course we realise this is just a prototype for better things to come.
It would appar to me that Iran, N.Korea, Venezuela , and perhaps a few other half assed countries are working together to get themselves destroyed.
