"an estimated range of anywhere between 2,500 and 4,000 kilometers (1,550 to 2,500 miles)."

Actually, it's range is about 23 feet.

They just announced that a second missile has been fired. No word on how successful (or how much of a failure) it was.

What is it with these phallic symbols?

Wow, so not only did the LDP plant a story in Yonhap about this, but they actually infiltrated the DPRK military and launched missiles, just to get attention for the upcoming election? They sure are crafty. /sarcshouldbeobvs

In a remarkable show of persistence,

Hey, that's not a bad lead-in for the article, although I would have preferred "In yet another bizarre show of aggressive goofiness..."

While we are worried about Kim and the missiles, think what China and Russia is doing to see Japan, S Korea and USA's "readiness" procedures and processes and taking down detailed notes as to how to circumvent the defenses. Did japan place their missiles in the same spots as before? How long did it take for them to set it up? Could it set up efficiently and on time if there were no warnings?

There is a lot more we should be concerned about when viewing these situations.

Also think and look for what action China is or has taken anywhere in SE Asia or Asia or the China Sea while this was going on. Take a look at what has happened or happening at least week to the instant prior to this event.

Did China move a major part of their forces to SE Asia near Vietnam, Malaysia or even Thailand?

For all we know, through China all this may be related to Iran. So take a look at Iran for the same period.

Think.. is it not odd that Kim is doing so much so often and without reason that we can see and understand?

I do not believe that anything is happening by chance or by some rash impulse. There is a reason and a cause and for activities such as this. There is carefully programmed, logical, rational plan with a rationale for every action action taken.

I also do not believe that Kim is stupid or irrational as being portrayed.

I just wander what is really going o between China, N Korea, S Korea and even the Middle East.

According to what Donald Trump says, if he is elected President, he will hold talks with Kim of the DPRK and then this will be defused. Kim so much likes Donald. If, however, he is not elected President, then things may just go downhill from here. See what happens.
