Two key officials involved in North Korea’s nuclear and missile program were reportedly nowhere to be seen during public events this week, fueling speculation that another missile launch or nuke test could be imminent.

Ri Man-gon, supervisor of the department for the nuclear and missile development, and Kim Rak-gyom, the head of the strategic rocket forces, were noticeably missing at a Saturday mass rally in Pyongyang and a Tuesday celebration for the anniversary of the Worker’s Party of Korea, according to South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo.

Parachute drop? Scotland?

Iran has been bankrolling this.

Obama bankrolled Iran.

Now Trump has stocked the flow of cash.

My understanding is that Iran had trouble with their NUKES and missile development.

So they asked North Korea to develop and test them for them.

I believe the $160 million Iran received from Obama and others was enough to bankroll this.

[topher]

Kim, aka FAT BOY, went from "I will nuke the United States".

He stopped and said, I will shoot down US Bombers.

Now he is pretty much silent. The last thing I heard is he claims the US is pushing him to war.

Parachute drop? Scotland?

Followed by 40 years in Club Gitmo?

[topher]

Believe it or not, Hurricane Ophelia is headed for Scotland.

It is supposed to hit Ireland first. But the forecast can changed...

catching up with gourmet food he missed

LOL Doesn’t look like he has much catching up to do—doesn’t look like he has missed any meals over the last decade.

In fact, he looks fatter in every photo!

Rocket boy is being microwaved. He’s plumping ....

Just like Jiffy Pop popcorn ;)

[TigerLikesRooster]

He has a big body but even bigger appetite.:-)

[Joe Boucher]

Soooo,
How about our vaunted military which gets roughly 700 billion a year shoot one of these rockets out the sky?
Or use one of our space based rail guns to destroy it on the launch pad?
Course we needs a boogie man to continue getting them big bucks for the war machine

[trebb]

Fears that he may be assassinated?

[jonrick46]

Maybe the Pig is preparing to become a Pig in the pit.

[topher]

In this day and age, snipers are able to kill at one mile or more, as I recall...

Also, drones could fire a fire-cracker at FAT BOY. Maybe a HELL FIRE missile would be appropriate. [Fat Boy, what is your final destination today...]

[topher]

I now have a concern that FAT BOY and his minions may be in Russia (perhaps headed to Iran) to deliver the Missiles and warheads Iran paid FAT BOY to build.

A transfer of technology meeting.

It should be noted that Iran's head of Parliament is in Russia.

Russia has borders with Iran and North Korea.

[DoughtyOne]

Sounds about right.

I’m not reducing my threat level setting though.

I doubt you are either.

He needs to be dealt with now.

[topher]

That this is re-inforced by Little Putin.

He recently put out a propaganda piece that US is not doing anything against ISIS.

I think Trump has burned Russia (badly) on Syria (60 missiles fired at an airbase their, one had a problem).

Now the Iran Nuke deal is about to be burned.

Now Trump is putting North Korea in its place.

Little Putin better watch out, or Trump will find someone to BANKRUPT Russia. You listening, Little Putin.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks topher. I appreciate the note.

Interesting take on it. Putin can still be a pain in the ass. I'm not sure how big of one he can be.

We have to allow a certain amount of leeway, but he's not as powerful as the old U.S.S.R. was.

Take care.

One theory: They were spirited out of the country by China or Russia. They may possibly be in Iran getting their nukes built.

[BlueLancer]

Maybe the last test didn’t go quite so well and they’ve all been fed into the wood chipper ...
