The Ukrainiazovs have been killing fellow Ukrainians in the east for 8 years now

almost as if Zelensky backed the Russian separatists himself

but have shown what they could REALLY do after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. *

How was it a terrorist attack? It was a legitimate military target as it was being used for military purposes. Ukraine still hasn’t claimed it either, and even Russia identified many different actors from nations including their own.

The chief monster, zelenskyy is sitting in the dark

we saw yesterday how Putin PERSONALLY oversaw his nuclear exercises REMOTELY.

North Korea is so prosperous they can now afford to launch many expensive missiles almost weekly. They clearly need no aid for their citizens at the moment. Someone is giving them the money. Who could it be..."

Don't be surprised if you discover it's the CIA...

 How many HIMARS has the U.S. supplied and have been fired by the Ukes at their own people? 

lolol Nope. Russian invaders aren't the same as Ukrainian citizens. Hilariously bad take."

Turn off the baseball and the talk radio and start reading the World media. The Ukrainiazovs have been killing fellow Ukrainians in the east for 8 years now and are still doing so and blaming it on the Russians who, given their almost certain capabilities in an 'all-out' war, have been amazingly restrained but have shown what they could REALLY do after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. The chief monster, zelenskyy is sitting in the dark and still safe hiding among the people which would NOT have stopped the U.S. from carpet bombing his location for a heartbeat... as for 'invaders', shall we tote up U.S. 'invasions' since the year 1900? And all justified and rationalized according to the principles of 'democracy', Corporate style. But, maybe you'd be interested in buying a brand new, never used HIMARS system on the dark web, crypto only...

Actually they were Iskandars performing evasive maneuvers. They are uninterceptable by SM-3 and THAAD, only KM-SAM and PAC-3 may attempt an interception."

"BALLISTIC missiles"

"Two short range ballistic missiles" Essentially, HIMARS.

"Two short range ballistic missiles" Essentially, HIMARS. How many HIMARS has the U.S. supplied and have been fired by the Ukes at their own people? And what "threats" exactly has Joseon made that come anywhere near the threats aimed at Joseon by proven warmongers in the U.S., Hanguk under Yoon and, here, Nihon. There are NO THREATS when a small, poor country KNOWS that any active defensive aggression will be almost immediate suicide meted out by the heavily armed and pathological forces all around it salivating for the opportunity to destroy a disobedient voice, a voice that called for PEACE to America under trump and was made into a fool by him. And we see clearly that even 77 years after the worst disaster Nihon has EVER suffered at the hands of its 'leaders', the mentality of Nihon's 'leaders' has not changed a whit and the "Empire" still lays snarling and waiting to strike again in the depths of the Japanese elite. And the mindless are blind and condemn the target in ignorance and programmed reflexive responses not seeing that the psychopaths NEED a boogieman, however small, to manipulate their fools and justify their LIES.

Haa,it too little to late ,when Japan adversaries already have Nukes

the first time any of these nations strike another country with a nuke ensures their own destruction. Conventional warfare not so much. Do you think Japan should not have the ability to strike back? Not nukes but with other weapons.

NKs master - China - is funding and allowing these launches. Most likely supplying the majority of the tech.

Tiny little Rocket Man still desperately crying for attention.

They have been threatening for 50 years, but nothing has happened yet, and nothing will happen. They only serve as a kind of tool for certain interests.

Russia,China and China can strike Tokyo five minutes after a ballistic missile is launch,from most part of their country

So do you have a problem with Japan having some means to defend itself from such attacks?

@ Michael Machida

It is probably more likely to be a response to South Korea's amphibious landing drill yesterday that was designed to practice landing on enemy territory and seize a target area.

My guess is they are blaming America for them [NorthKorea] for shooting off rockets like Putin does.
