North Korea boasts of its new long-range missile targeting U.S.

Just more hot air, and Kim knows it. All political theatre as usual.

North Korea boasts of its new long-range missile targeting U.S.

Great. While the majority of your people live in misery and many on borderline hunger. Congratulations!

A noisy, yapping dog, fed and protected by China. (And now by Russia too.)

North Korea now safe from US attack.

A noisy, yapping dog, fed and protected by China. (And now by Russia too.)

True but a yapping dog with a very big bite that other nations will not want to get.

The obese dog FatBoy Kim rattling the cage yet again. Only complete fools believe the propaganda coming out of Pyongyang.

How about feeding the millions of peasants in your nation instead of just your disgusting family and friends, FatBoy Kim?

he have just sent many soldiers to Ukraine/some saying 8.000,some12.000,some1.200.000/

Absolutely no-one, anywhere, has claimed North Korea has 1.2 million troops in fascist Russia.

Exaggeration will never help your argument.

Many asked what the Un family got in return for its 10,000 soldiers it sent to fight for Russia.

I think we all know the answer now. Funny how these new rockets resemble early

2008- 2015 Russian rockets aren’t it?

Ooooh! Balloons full of trash. Sending forced draftees to fight in a foreign land to assist a weakened dictator. Now this stunt.

Ooooh! Kimmy thinks he's macho, thinks he's 'baaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa-aaa-ADD!!!'.

No you're not, Fat Boy. Go back to your gilded palace and startr doing your job, like feeding the hungry and taking care of the Covid epidemic which isn't over yet. Chump.

I think is also noteworthy that my country has a missle that can hit any target in the North launched from anywhere inside the US. This missle can hit them in less than 30 miniutes.

It would only take one to bring the North to bend the knee.

LR-HW Dark Eagale. And yes it can be tipped in multi war head options including nuclear and biological.

One day the North is going to cry wolf one too many times.

He is not the cause of the need to feed the people of his country. It is the U.S. and its near total sanctions and embargo.

What would you say if the US imposed an economic embargo on Japan for invading its neighbors. The Koreans are trying to settle their civil war.

The Korean War ended 70 years ago.

A noisy, yapping dog, fed and protected by China. (And now by Russia too.)

That is a common fallacy and assumption. You don't just group everyone who is not in your circle together. China has no control over Kim and Kim certainly does not yield to China. Protected by China is ludicrous.

You seem to be assuming the China 70 years ago in the Korean War was defending North Korea or aiding North Korea in its fight against South Korea. They were driving out US and UN forces and pushing them back to Seoul.

You were sufficiently warned by China that if you approached the Yalu River, China will enter war. No country is just going to sit, watch and scratch.

So embargoes starve the people but don't starve the missiles, huh? Sounds like the Nork leaders need a new priority.

Not settling it peacefully by any means.

The Korean War ended 70 years ago.

And it takes deterrence to keep it that way. Just like another civil war in the area.

After giving the tacit approval to Kim Il Sung to invade the South. Two attempts by the dirty pair to invade the South and turned back twice.

You were sufficiently warned by China that if you approached the Yalu River, China will enter war. No country is just going to sit, watch and scratch.

There would have been no need to try to eliminate North Korea if China had kept its dog on a leash.

So there is no need for your country's people to get all bunched up about nothing. You can hit them, and they can hit you. Who says your country get to be impervious to missile attacks? Learn to live in fear of war. Most of the world can deal with it.

And it takes deterrence to keep it that way. Just like another civil war in the area.

You appreciate Kim for creating this deterrence to maintain status quo and contributing to peace.

What would be really peaceful is the Kims turning over their kingdom to a responsible country like the ROK, but we will take what we can get. Also the sanctions come off never.

No, they are they're own country. The US gave tacit approval to Israel in Gaza? No, Israel is its own country.

Great. While the majority of your people live in misery and many on borderline hunger. Congratulations!

Are you saying the homeless in San Francisco and the squatters in blight ridden Detroit living in misery are also the doing of the US government spending on military?

North Korea cannot spend enough on missiles. These very missiles contribute to deterrence according to posters here.

that a high-angel trajectory launch cannot verify a missile’s re-entry vehicle technology

Does anyone have a convincing explanation for that? OK, the time of heating up would be longer and the exposed surface bigger due to another and lower angle, but on the other side, the material is stressed more point-concentrated with those shown high-angle trajectory re-entry and seems to stand it. Also, I don't see the point when it is said they would have a need for sophisticated randomized trajectories or to have the missiles equipped with multIple warheads. That is all only an additional nice-to-have' for them. Simpler outnumbering strategies will serve their intentions too and can potentially work already now. We have already seen in the Gaza conflict, that the best and most sophisticated defense systems can perfectly prevent from missiles in a smaller limited case, but just quickly fail and simply can't handle outnumbering scenarios.

It looks like he's gained a lot of weight since his last photo.

Every country in the world has homeless that doesn't use the police to force them elsewhere. You can guess at the solution China uses. Detroit is doing pretty good actually.

These frequent launches are all calibrated to impress the NK public, and to keep them in line with the mighty Kim's brilliant strategic leadership.

Sending many thousands of raw UN-blooded North Korean youth to fight as cannon fodder in Russia's war against Ukraine, making North Korea a direct combatant against Ukraine. I wonder if Ukraine will send naval or air drones against NK once they are officially combatants. Sink a few NK ships and destroy a few ammo storage facilities and Kim will rattle his nuclear dummy at Ukraine next.

These continuing tests provide usable data for Russia's arms specialists to choose to purchase them, or not, for use against their arch foes, the people of Ukraine.

With nobody actively threatening North Korea, they must do as all despots do and create an evil enemy who will stop at nothing to eat the children of hard working North Korean families, who can depend on the strength and wisdom of their fearless and steadfast leader, President Kim to defend them and their righteous cause.

North Koreans go to sleep hungry, but satisfied after another hard days toil that their mighty rockets will defend them during the short nights rest before they again rise in darkness to begin another days toil for the Kim family to whom they all owe so much. With much evil in the world, why is it all aimed at the peace loving citizens of North Korea? Because the world is jealous of the North Koreans having such a god like family that for decades has given everything to protect the lucky people in the land of North Korea.

Some fantasies can be powerful and all consuming when lived 24/7 and it is all you know. No matter how twisted or far from the truth they may be. Welcome to Kim's world.

NK always complains about harsh sanctions from the UN, etc., but never, ever addresses why sanctions were placed on the country in the first place, and never makes any attempt to correct things or become a welcome, functioning member of the international community.

Reality check: Russia and NK signed a mutual defense agreement, similar to Nato article 5. Ukraines invasion of Kursk would trigger that, so assuming that the claim about North Korean troops is correct, NK would actually be legally obliged to send them. No matter how you feel about who is right or wrong.

Speed

Great. While the majority of your people live in misery and many on borderline hunger. Congratulations!

Actually, no borderline hunger right now. NK is in a sweet spot currently, thanks to the profitable deals with Russia. It all could have been avoided, but as far as Kim is concerned, it looks good for him.

Reality check: Russia and NK signed a mutual defense agreement, similar to Nato article 5. Ukraines invasion of Kursk would trigger that,

Incorrect. NATO has nothing to protect any member that invades a nation unilaterally and the invaded nation retaliates against the invasion. NATO is for defense only, not to support invasions as North Korea is doing with Russia.

Russia is an aggressor nation and is not a victim in any scenario. Ukraine is taking Russia's invasion back to the people of Russia. A simple fact some are unable to grasp.

Peter14

Kursk is Russian territory, and UKR intrusion there would clearly trigger the treaty.

Russia is an aggressor nation and is not a victim in any scenario. Ukraine is taking Russia's invasion back to the people of Russia.

That is your opinion and has nothing to do with the mutual defense agreement that I mentioned.

Kursk is Russian territory, and UKR intrusion there would clearly trigger the treaty.

No, perhaps if Russia was not involved in an invasion of Ukraine your assessment would be correct but the incursion into Russia is part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is a direct result of that invasion. Russia is not a victim.

That is your opinion and has nothing to do with the mutual defense agreement that I mentioned.

Of course it does. The same would apply to any defense agreement Ukraine signs while in conflict. It very much matters who started invading who, and when. Russia started this and it is recorded in history now, and the worlds timeline of that history. There is no hiding from it nor shifting of blame. This is 100 percent on Russia and Putin. Win, lose or draw that will be noted for all time in the worlds history books no matter if Russia writes its own history books, anyone with unfettered internet access is able to read the real truth.

Peter14

That is all your opinion, and I suggest you read up on background of the situation.

It is beyond the scope of the readers section to explain more, and the moderators do not allow me to anyway.

Facts are: There is now a mutual defense treaty, and Kursk is undisputed Russian territory.

Fwiw, I still doubt that there will be NK frontline troops.

That is all your opinion, and I suggest you read up on background of the situation.

I am well aware of the situation, and Russian responsibility for everything that has happened in Eastern Ukraine since 2014.

I have no doubt NK troops will be sent to the front lines and they will likely get better treatment and equipment than the Russian conscripts and cannon fodder. This will further reduce Russian morale but with Putin needing a supply of new troops, for now the NK guys can expect better food than they get at home and to be given choice assignments initially.

I do doubt that part. Kimmy doesn't care about his own people or even his army. And make no mistake, these NK troops are draftees, not volunteers. The NK Communist regime doesn't care about them, so why would they get better treatment in a war they really don't want to be in?

Russian morale is already bad, there's been defections. I see the same for some of these NK troops too. I truly doubt that they're getting any better treatment than the Russian soldiers. They're being used just like the Russians and the Greasy Fat Poobah is sending them on a highway to hell.

If Putin treats them badly it looks like they use Asians for the meat grinder and have no respect for them, lowering the ability to get more NK troops. But if word gets back to Kim that his troops are respected and treated well, it reflects better on the alluded "friendship" between Kim and Putin. It wont last but in the early days it will be important for Putin to let Kim know he has his respect and his troops are effective.

You just said the 'magic' word, WORD. If 'word' gets back to KommieKimmy about his forces being treated right (like he truly gives a damn) it could, could give him incentive to send more NK troops to Russia.

But who's saying the 'word'? Is the Russian brass going to be telling NK the truth? I doubt it. They're just pawns, mercenaries, cannon fodder. Kimbo don't really care anyway, and the Russian Bears are going to tell NK what they 'want' them to think/'know'/believe. As for 'respect and good treatment', the NK pawns ain't gonna get any.

Their Russian overlords will be doing the 'talking' for them and everything will be 'whitewashed' and kept all out of sight, in the dark. Not that KimmyKlownKlutz truly gives a **** about them in the first place.

The US has ballistic missiles criminally and cowardly aimed at the entire planet.

The officers Kim sent as part of the troop deployment will tell Kim how they are being treated, and if they are shown respect or disdain. You are correct in assuming the Russians wont tell the truth, but care about his own troops or not, he will listen to what they pass on about their experiences with the Russians and with the combat missions they were given.
