Go figure!

Even the legislators are synchronized. How cute. I hope they got extra rations tonight.

As fun as it is to mock the Kim regime, one must recognize that the Kims have survived losing a war to the US, and more sanctions and isolation and with fewer resources than other dictators like Saddam and Ghaddafi.

North Korea providing material help to Russian's war on Ukraine was their business. The US state department issued warning at them was definitely a provocation. If you leave them alone, they will never mess with you. Remember there was an American guy known as Otto Warmbier went to North Korea and torn a political banner and his tragedy..... someone just don't like you and they don't need to explain why.

You can do pretty much anything with the backing of a 1.4 billion pound gorilla.

They do need to explain why someone ended up braindead for tearing a poster. Otherwise we have to make our own conclusions about whether NK is civilized.

I’m not praising them, I’m just saying it would be foolish to underestimate them.

China only supports NK just enough to keep it from imploding and maintain a buffer between US allied SK.

It's not about underestimating them, we are scared of them because they live in a totally different time of thinking and value life very differently. Kim is an extreme version of Putin and Xi, wouldn't blink an eye about killing off half of his own population in exchange for just the belief of looking more powerful. That's the only reason other countries always have to be on their toes about them, otherwise it would just be another poor country that Americans couldn't place on a map.

Nobody is underestimating a nuclear power, but they are still an economic basket case worthy of derision just for that. We're not going to be driving North Korean cars anytime soon.

Yeah and how poor do you have to be at diplomacy to upset your benefactor like NK?

FYI, Japan's next opponent in the Asian Games soccer knockout stage is North Korea.

Really? That changes everything about North Korea's nuclear programme. Thank you for that valuable information.

Why can't we humans spend resources on finding cure for disease and saving lives instead of spending our resources on weapons that kill so many humans? Well, I guess we get what we deserve....

@TaiwanisChina: The POTUS met the Supreme leader of North Korea K.J. three times in Singapore,Hanoi and the DMZ in North Korea. He was not interested to ask about what has happened to Warmbier and he didn't want to know such an issue, pointless!

That was also our treasonous president who thought he could get a quick win with a quick sellout to NK.

Life can be a wonderful experience. Food is a precious resource. Hunger needs to be fought on a war-footing. May each citizen of the Planet have sufficient food to eat and water to drink.

Kim must have watched "Beneath the Planet of the Apes."

The mutants believed they owed their very existence to weapons such as this, and as such, worshipped the missile as a deity – often referring to it as the Divine Bomb.
