Good shooting there noodle twister...

And all the skinny Generals in a row oh oh...

Part and parcel ? Norks probably told the locals it was the US bombing them.

[P.O.E.]

As if surviving starvation, threats of torture & imprisonment, and crappy TV shows wasn’t enough. Then fearless leader drops a bomb on your town. Not auspicious!

They said in the press that the head of the test lab had been executed. I wonder if that is why.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What goes up,
must come down.

[BlackAdderess]

Bet they blamed us

[lavaroise]

Orwell’s streamers blamed on the enemy...

[WayneS]

Gee. That’s a shame.

[Doogle]

Kim’s a short timer...his army is starving...won’t be too long before he disappears

[oldasrocks]

Too bad someone can’t hack the next one to “return to sender”

That’s a nice brecelet Lil kim. “Where did you get it”? “It was a GIFT from that lowly US president trying to appease me.”

North Korea accidentally crashed a missile into its own city last April: report

Back in '96 the chicoms did the same thing, wiping out a village, but never fear, Bubba Clinton came to their aid with rocketry and missile guidance technology (in exchange for generous campaign contributions) and now they can hit every American city with amazing accuracy.

An intermediate-range missile launched by North Korea last April crashed into a town near Pyongyang, possibly causing an explosion and casualties, The Diplomat reported on Wednesday.

Well, it WAS an intermediate range missile - it would be unfair of us to expect the nation-equivalent of the short bus to be able to clear their own territory with it.

Matt Damon of F.A.G. must have been in charge

This - the relative unreliability of NK missile technology - is why Russia and China should be almost as concerned about NK's nuclear threats as the US.

The flight path for launches from centeral NK launch sites to US west coast targets generally goes over or very nearly over Vladivostok. Flight paths to central and eastern US targets go over significant chunks of Chinese and Russian territory. Notably, they spend the first 1200 to 2200 miles or so over them. That means critical/dangerous/tricky staging and max-Q events events happen over Chinese & Russian territory.

Even if, and that's a big if, everything works as intended those spent stages are going to be coming down on Chinese and Russian territory.

“Dear Great Leader, one of our missiles hit one of our cities”
“How awful. How terrible. How did it do?”

Gravity, it’s the law.

These are the dimwits the Trump Administration treats as a big, horrible enemy. We give them too much validation.
