Just North Korean doing North Korean things.

One of these days he is going to hit something during one of his little tirades. Reminds me of a kid who needs attention every few months.

I don't understand his thinking. The US and other major countries fire off missiles just to shoot them down as target practice all the time. Not to mention that attacking a UN country would be suicide.

Pyongyang's launch comes after it threatened retaliation against what it said were recent US spy plane incursions over its territory

It also tried to launch a spy satellite in May which failed.

This is why I can't take them seriously 🙄

I don’t really understand how North Korea continues to exist. I guess they aren’t sanctioned hard enough? I guess it’s hard to get in spies? I guess it’s hard to remove Kim? They seem so weak, but they keep slowly developing into some weird sort of threat.

It's just not worth it for anyone to do anything.

They’re kept afloat by China, basically. Chaos in NK has the potential to spill over the Yalu and cause problems in China.Plus, Seoul is within artillery range of the DMZ, so any “kinetic” end to the regime is quite risky.

N.Korea is essentially used as slave labour by China, and is propped up by them in return.

Look up "bureau 39". They have installed a nice cash flow institute, that goes around the sanctions.

I don't understand what his endgame is. If one of these remarkably hits US territory, how does he hope to win?
