North Korea to Parade Dozens of Long-Range Missiles Before Winter Olympics

North Korea to Parade Dozens of Long-Range Missiles Before Winter Olympics

North Korea is planning to show off dozens of long-range missiles at a February 8 parade, the day before the Winter Olympics is set to begin in South Korea, two diplomatic sources with deep knowledge of North Korea’s intentions told CNN Wednesday.

The display of “hundreds” of missiles and rockets would be an attempt “to scare the hell out of the Americans,” one of the sources said.

The parade is expected to include dozens of intercontinental-range Hwasong-15 missiles, which the North Koreans test-fired for the first time in late November, the sources said.

They also didn’t rule out a missile test “in the near future” to send a strong message to American forces currently deployed in the region.

The news comes after US President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union speech, during which he criticized the Kim Jong Un regime’s human rights abuses and “reckless pursuit” of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that could soon threaten the US homeland.

In his address, Trump highlighted personal stories of victims of the Kim regime, inviting as guests North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho and the parents of Otto Warmbier, who died shortly after returning from North Korea where he spent 17 months in captivity.

Would be nice if somebody can pull Ryongchon at the parade:

One Israeli assassin, a North Korean train explosion, dead Syrian scientists, fake Canadian passports, Dubai and New Zealand arrest warrants, and a poisoned Hamas guerrilla

Ryongchon disaster

Parading them is fine, just don’t shoot them.

You really wonder how many of these parades FatBoy ‘needs’ before he realizes they’re just simply another parade so that he feels better.

Would be a nice place to demonstrate what a full load of cluster looks like when dropped from a B-2 (aka The Eraser).
