The Japanese government says North Korea launched what's widely believed to be a long-range ballistic missile on Sunday.

The government said the missile was launched at 9:31 AM Japan time from the western coast of North Korea toward the direction of Okinawa Prefecture.

They should have splashed it.

Is this a message to the GOP candidates......

[McGruff]

UPDATE: @YonhapNews report that it appears that the first stage of the North Korean rocket has separated and landed in the ocean.

Why is “missile” in quotes in the title? I doubt it was a Volkswagen.

I guess we’ll have to send them a few billion dollars soon. That should solve everything.

[Nextrush]

The Japanese say it went over Okinawa into the Pacific Ocean after launch.

Not much of an ICBM

No payload, no guidance, no tracking. Basically a big Estes model rocket.

Let us see now, The One was at the golf course and could not be disturbed and Sec of State was being served his peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches by his Man Servant and could not be disturbed. Then Biden heard, but fell quickly to sleep.

Japan, you have our permission to blow N. Korea off the map and take the weird little fat boy as your sex slave.

I’m waiting for someone to claim it was a cruze missile and someone else to trump that comment.

That is what my husband thinks. It is all for protection money. Have we done this before?

[lulu16]

Please Japan, save South Korea. I want to visit the land of my favorite dramas and visit all the great eateries.

South Korea, has requested a emergency meeting of the U.N. security council.

NK might have said they were launching a “satellite”, not a missile.
