North Korea fired what appeared to be multiple land-to-ship missiles off its east coast on Thursday, South Korea's military said, the latest in a fast-paced series of missile tests defying world pressure and threats of more sanctions.
The launches comes less than a week after the United Nations Security Council passed fresh sanctions on the reclusive state, which said it would continued to pursue its nuclear and weapons program without delay.

Bump
Could get real special, real fast.
Enough time to leave our “friends” to fend for themselves as they want. Good border wall defense for us. May they find solace in their new found rubble.
You’re the dictator of a nation.
Nobody but nobody wants your land. Superpowers don’t. Neighbors don’t. People on the other side of the planet don’t.
You’d think the leader of such a nation would simply be content to rule and come up with policies that would cause his people to respect and trust him. Hey, you’ve got the most power in your nation. Flout it. Enjoy it. Enjoy life.
Instead this lout starves his people and tries to come up with means to attack the world’s only super-power.
That has to define you as clinically insane on some level.
The Head Nork is trying to get his guns all primed for the attack he is inviting.
SHHHHHHH .... loose lips and all that!
Kimmy was hoping i think to see just what would be sent after them so he change tactics, he wants to sink those aircraft carriers, either by a shotgun salvo or as a diversion.
Lil Kim is just angling for more food for his troops. His payday is when Iran can drop a billion or two in his lap for one of those nukes.
They've made their decision. It is clear what will ultimately be required here; we might as well get on with it to protect ourselves and our more sane allies, like Japan.
Contrary to popular fears, he has zero chance of so much as scratching the paint on any of our carriers. One Arleigh Burke class destroyer alone could easily swat out of the sky anything he can throw at them. They’re even capable of dealing with simultaneous salvos of multiple sea-skimming missiles, something I highly doubt lil’ Kim can pull off. I don’t think most Americans realize the full capabilities of the escort ships in a carrier battle group.
I'd go a lot further than that. If SK won't allow our defensive missiles, it's far past time to remove the thousands of American troop stationed at the DMZ. They'll be the first victims of an NK attack. Enough is enough with the new China-loving SK administration!
Give south korea a few short range nukes and let them use it..that is what China is doing with the north
I don’t think it is any coincidence that on the eve of well publicized testimony our enemies see an opportunity to rattle things even further. The democratic and main stream media witch hunt has dangerous repercussions that extend beyond their limited “Get Trump” mind set.

We usually don’t station 3 carrier battle groups in the same location without a good idea of what is going to happen!
August and Sept. are peak Typhoon months for the Sea of Japan. Seems like action the sooner the better from that perspective.
