North Korea appears to be preparing for a possible intercontinental ballistic missile test within the next 48 to 96 hours, just as President Joe Biden is scheduled to travel to Asia, according to a US official familiar with the latest intelligence assessment.

Can Biden even find Japan or South Korea on a map, much less remember 5 minutes later he found them on a map, if he even did?

Kim Jung Un wants to have fun, just like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.

I think he fired missiles in the direction of Japan.

The purpose of Biden’s trip is to lecture Asians on their racism against blacks.
