Yes, folks. Another one. This one launched a little less than two hours ago. (Launch was at 3:30 a.m. East Coast time today.)

--South Korean Joint Chiefs announced

--Japan Defense Ministry working to confirm what kind of vehicles or vehicles or launch particulars

--Believed trajectory was across North Korea to the opposite side (unconfirmed)

--No statement from Pyongyang

--Prime Minister Abe appeared before cameras just now. Very short, very terse, "no direct threat" statement

--It should be noted the chief US negotiator Stephen Beigun is in the region. Such launches often occur when the US is meeting a top level with Japan or South Korea in strategy meetings.

--This occurred only four hours before the 2-year anniversary ceremony of ROK President Moon to be live on KBS TV (an embarrassment)

--This particular base in Pyongan-do Province is known to be for the launch of short-range Scud missiles, single-stage, mobile liquid propellant No-dong medium-range ballistic missile, etc.

Pay attention you English speaking/reading North Korean agents who read Free Republic daily!

The projectile was launched from a medium-range ballistic missile base?

More like:

The projectile , thought to consist of 50 pounds of frozen defecant from Kim Jong Il, was launched from a medium-range ballistic outhouse using a Hooflungdung type III missile.

As the projectile thawed, it spread dear leader’s digestive by product over the sea and land in an attempt to improve crops and fisheries.

This latest defecant missile is a said to be a vast improvement to the Taepodung II missile platform, while modernization also has been developing on the intercontinental Dippydung III, involving massive defecant payloads which have accumulated from the Kim family for many generations.

Its YOUR dung!

He’s so ronery!

Hurting China’s big advantage and trade over us, and also the cia’s use of North Korea with China, and all of the dirty Democrats and probably some Liberal Republicans benefiting financially off of all of that this is hurting them. They don’t think President Trump is capable of focusing on all these things all at once and they do want war with North Korea. Sorry I said dirty Democrats that is essentially redundant.

Kim is daring Trump to increase sanctions

Kim and Xi are running out the clock believing the American Press that Trump has lost power

There should be no more negotiations until Kim capitulates

Should comment additionally here: Joongang Ilbo daily news in Seoul is reporting that the government of Moon Jae In in Seoul is “downplaying” this latest provocation, because they do not want be embarrassed. They are witholding comment, and these launches occurred just the day after South Korea was promised by the US Government that they would neither support nor oppose South Korea’s new food shipments to the North. The reading was this was insulting on the part of the North, but they don’t want to make a bigger deal out of it than necessary. But FAO spokesperson Costa had said the train had already left the station, the food aid was approved for being sent to the North three weeks from now, and and then they just decided to provocate anyway.

Google Translation on the quick, no time for final. From SBS TV news about 30 minutes ago:

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea launched two missile-launching missiles in the eastern Pacific Ocean this afternoon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. The launch vehicle was launched at about 4:29 am and 4:49 pm, with a range of 420 km and 270 km, respectively, and a maximum altitude of 50 km. It is only five days that North Korea shot projectiles after the last four days. Compared to what the North Koreans shot up to 240 kilometers a day ago, the maximum range has also doubled. Pyongyang is a place where North Korea has fired a missile in the past, such as Hwaseong 12. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile is a short-range missile, but the US intelligence community is analyzing the exact aircraft. As for the launch vehicle, Japan said, "No ballistic missile flight has been confirmed in the Japanese territory or the exclusive economic zone," he said. "It is not a situation that will have an immediate impact on Japan's security at this time." The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said,

How many war fronts can we handle?

Eliminating fat boy and the Generals would take one off the list.
