Annoying little cuss. Like a gnat that just won't go away

Almost wish things would escalate so NK will get their backside thoroughly handed to them.

Every missile he fires now is one that he cannot use with a warhead later. Wish he'd fire 100 a day in the the Sea of Japan.

North Korea is very wealthy actually, their missiles were very expensive stuffs and they doesn't mind shooting at sea foe sending hostile message!

-6 ( +3 / -9 )

Again the US is poking provoking North Korea by its careless statements. As if the ongoing wars aren’t enough. These globalists thrive in misery and chaos to gain more power and control to push their one world govt agenda.

Every one missile NK fires, Japan and SK are ordered into buying 100 from Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop, general dynamics, to name a few. Then USA holds live drills where Japan and SK must blow them up…then buy more to replace. Cycle cycle $$$

All this barking sure is sure annoying. And think about all the poor fish. Getting spook constantly by these missiles hitting the water.

@christofor osan

your figures are a little inaccurate and don’t include Overseas deployed warheads.

Sorry JT was premature to hit the post bar. Can delete the previous.

Really?

Allowed? Deemed lawful? Only the USA?

Are nuclear weapons legal in the US?

Article 1 contains prohibitions against the development, testing, production, stockpiling, stationing, transfer, use and threat of use of nuclear weapons, as well as against assistance and encouragement to the prohibited activities.

I would suggest having a read here.

"Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons"

America wants to end the nuclear race.

A yes the Chinese and Russians now have hypersonic missiles.

Now we have to jump in to keep up...

Russia and China are trying to restart the cold war.

Below is the the current count of weapons and held in those countries.

Russia - 6,257.

United States - 5,550.

China - 350.

France - 290.

United Kingdom - 225.

Pakistan - 165.

India - 156.

Israel - 90.

DPRK- unknown amount

I am greeted everyday on Osan Base with the missile alert system and giant sires. No biggie.

Its just the North having a temper tantrum. The real concern over here.

The North needs recognition and it needs something. Its not happy with all the exercises yes. But that is not the entire reason for the Norths sudden defensive posture.

They want talks with the South to resume. Industry to resume. They want revenue. Plain and simple.

The North knows they will lose the war. They know they are out gunned. Out matched. Out dated.

Nothing to worry about or get caught up in the hype.

Its funny though......Not one missile fired during the previous administration tenure in the oval office.

How much does it actually cost to make, house and launch an ICBM?

I'm seeing all kinds of numbers from $25 M - $400 M (A PIECE) or whatever the figure may be.

And how many has Lil Kim shot this year? Like 30? 40? 50?

You telling me he has that much money to blow?

Or is he just launching faux shells into the sea like everything else in NK?

Little kim Hanabi, he must be celebrating Trump running for 2024, LOL

I agree with the above analysis, let little kim on firing his toys, the more the better.

The recent history of North Korea shows mayhem and murder conducted by Japan and the US.

If I were the leader of North Korea then I would NEVER give up the nuclear deterrent as again, recent history shows what happens to nations that cannot defend themselves.

Another Meeting and more Condemning. MC's is what my friends and I call them.

When NK runs out of stock, I'd bet US will send their salesmen to peddle "made in America"...

Recognize North Korea now!

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

Don't let's waste time over this.

It even looks like someone is trying to divert attention from the Japanese People.

Japan's real threat is China.

Once again, every media outlet uses old missile launch footage from N.K. Why ?! Doesn't it seem strange to ANYONE that there isn't a single photograph or video of the alleged missiles across the night sky or daytime for that matter? Extremely similar missiles are used by Russia in Ukraine, with hundreds of iPhone videos of them mid-air. Everything about N.K. is fake, but ESPECIALLY their missiles....

North Korea is very wealthy actually

Perhaps 1%. The rest are captives, prevented from leaving with annual shortages of food. https://www.nknews.org/2021/10/north-korea-securing-every-grain-of-rice-amid-apparent-food-shortage-nis/

Ever looked at the light output for different parts of the world? NK basically goes dark at night. https://ourworldindata.org/light#night-light-and-living-standards shows the drastic difference between NK, SK, and Chinese living standards.

Not wealthy at all. More like the neighbors who buy a nicer car to impress others while their stove doesn't work, clothes and furniture all need to be replaced and toilets are stopped up because they can't pay to fix it.
