Fast moving / breaking. Waiting for confirmation this was a SLBM (Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile) of the Pugguksan class very problematic. Breached Japan EEZ zone off the west of us here between South Korea and Shimane, Japan. “Lofted trajectory” apparently. Prime Minister Abe called urgent Japan NSC Meeting this morning

DJT is hurting China economically and they’re sending him a message.

No problem. The US Government is too busy spying on POTUS Trump.

It is primarily North Korea which is sending a message here

Our SLBMs and ICBMs are MIRVed. Are theirs? I doubt it.

Yep. No doubt this is piling on with the beltway coupists against POTUS at the behest of the Chicoms.

How is POTUS to deal with the Norks while a full blown coup aided and abetted by his own party rages in his executive branch? It just boggles the mind what President Trump is dealing with. We live in historic times, no doubt.

There are actually several ways to deal with the ‘Dong. Smart ways. Clever ways. Tactical ways. Stupid ways. Naive ways. Appeasing ways. Ignorant ways.

Each guaranteeing its own reciprocal response from Kim, who is fully in control. This ain’t rocket science. Pardon the pun.

I think NK calculates Trump won’t be around much longer so they are ... moving on.

ONE sub-launched nuke is enough to wipe out a city.

That’s why this is serious.

Bolton was probably right, Kim has his fanatical generals talking in his ear, he has no intention of giving up his nukes.

I wish Trump would tell our military to shoot down any missile launched by NK that leaves their airspace.

In the meantime it would be a good idea if we tried to recover one of those missiles. If possible. Study it.

Let him take out a US city and see what happens to the DPRK. There won’t be one brick on top of another. BTW I’m a twice decorated Korean intelligence analyst and I wrote the DMZ Report for the president every day. Not to toot my horn, but it’s true.

Peace with NK may be the 2nd bell in the death knell of Chinese communism. Praying that chairman Kim bets on the opening of markets that peace would bring about.

Your post #17 came in probably the same time as mine.. Good for you. I think since the Chicoms have MIRVs now they may be sharing the tech with the Norks.
