I can tell what kind they are: they are long-range missiles that didn't quite go too far.

With the E-8 Summit going on without him, Dear Leader had to do something to garner the spotlight.

This may not be something to laugh at.

Something I hadn’t considered was NK launching an attack against SK and Am. forces in SK coordinated with China attacking Taiwan. The combined attack would split a US defense.

We’re not sure how much China has supplied NK with. We do know that China’s build up solid-fueled missiles along the coast facing Taiwan has been massive, and they have built the launch sites to withstand attacks from the US.

But were they intended to be long range missiles that just didn’t funtion properly...if Korea is projecting phalllic power, I’d guess that they might experience some missile E.D. or premature launch!
