If the NK’s follow form they will launch on this Sunday because it is Flag Day. They loved to show off on our holidays.

At this rate they are going to provoke Japan, if they do, Japan will start their own program and then China will start to worry and maybe do something about their little puppet.

Since the local Pravda and Izvestia don’t seem to be covering this much, are we relegated to hearing this from the Sovi... I mean Russian press? Oh, the irony!

I wonder if the crazy little bastard would be doing this if Ronald Reagan was still president. Or Harry Truman.

Somehow I think you answered your own question.

There is some evidence to suggest that the Kaiser would not have been willing to start WWI if TR had been president.

I wonder what the hell happens if one of these launches results in a mushroom cloud somewhere? These people do not live in the same universe as we do. They may occupy space in it, but they don’t live in it. They are just nuts enough to show the world their muscles.

Probably both the ICBM and the medium range rockets. NK has a history of multiple launches around the same timeframes. The shipping bans in the waters off the coast of the launch sites points to this too.

The Iran hostage crisis ended on January 20, 1981. Coincidentally (to liberals), that is the day that Jimmy Carter left office and Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

I don’t think it was a coincidence.

lot of analysts speculating on what direction this new ICBM is going to be fired as it is being launched from a new missile base . . . this is not going to make the Japanese happy
