Lil porky is throwing another fit! More new years fireworks

North Korea fires ballistic missile as Blinken visits Seoul

Despotic Pyongyang's perverse idea of a peaceful good will to all, "happy new year" fire work display.

No doubt  Lee Jae-myung, leader of the SK liberal Democratic Party (DP), is bent double appeasing totalitarian tyrant, Kim Jong Un, in a demented paroxysmal display of excitement.

Treasonous scallywag.

US voters fired Blinken...so there is that

The North is shooting off rockets while Biden's secretary of state is visiting the South -- more proof of the weakness of this (thankfully outgoing) joke of a presidential administration.

Two more weeks.

January 20 can't come fast enough.

Yawn. More "look at me" hissy fits from Fatboy Kim.

UN-recognized North Korea is entitled to conduct defense training/tests, as is every country.

Surprising these events are even deemed newsworthy.

As for the guy with the odd grin on the left, the less said about his farewell junket, the better.

January 20 can't come fast enough.

Your country will be the laughing stock of the world again... we will pity you a little too.

January 20 can't come fast enough.

There were 37 weapons tests during 45’s admin. 37. Thirty-seven.

From January 20th, do you predict zero?

US voters probably don't know who Blinken is.

FatBoy Kim throwing yet another tantrum. So predictable.

Looking forward to the day the oaf is put up against a wall.

What a Blinkin embarrassment.

US voters probably don't know who Blinken is.

"Ain't that what happens when you like, shut and open your eyes real fast?"

It certainly is hard to look natural and confident if you happen to be the unelected 2nd acting president after a ridiculously short and lame attempted coup from the leader of the same party (Choi). Blinken has that smiling, positive camera face with plenty of practice selling his Ukraine and Israel policies.

""North Korea fired what appeared to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile at around noon, which flew more than 1,100 kilometers east before falling into the sea, according to South Korea's military.""

Poor Sea.

I think he enjoys his name appearing in media from time to time, since I have no faith in their trajectory or its accuracy, I do fear by mistake it’ll hit “something” by mistake.

Reminding the US that North Korea is not a pushover like Iraq,Syria, Libya, Afghanistan etc etc.

Yes, it is just a completely impoverished state we will have to wall off until it collapses.
