Seoul says weapons tested by North Korea were new missiles, launch overseen by Pudgy himself
[IsraelTimes] South Korea says the two weapons North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...fired earlier today were a new type of ballistic missile. South Korea’s presidential office issues the assessment after a national security council meeting. Seoul said earlier based on analysis of the launches that one missile flew 690 kilometers (430 miles) and the other 430 kilometers (270 miles) before landing in the waters off the east coast. The presidential office says national security council members expressed "strong concerns" about the launches because they won’t be helpful for an effort to ease military tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Kim Jong Un oversaw test-firing of two ballistic missiles [Jpost] North Korea said on Friday its latest missile launch was a warning to South Korean "warmongers" to stop importing weapons and conducting joint military drills, a message that analysts said was also aimed at the United States. North Korean leader Kim PudgeJong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... personally watched the test-fire of two short-range ballistic missiles on Thursday, the first test since Kim met with US President Donald Trump  ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...last month and agreed to revive denuclearisation talks. The missile tests raises doubts about the revival of denuclearisation talks, which stalled after the collapse of a second summit between Kim and Trump in Hanoi in February. "We cannot but develop nonstop super-powerful weapon systems to remove the potential and direct threats to the security of our country that exist in the south," Kim said, according to state news agency KCNA. In a statement on Friday, Colonel Lee Peters, a front man for the combined command of US and South Korean troops, said the launches "were not a threat directed at [South Korea] or the US, and have no impact on our defence posture." In public statements, Pyongyang has shown increasing frustration that South Korea has not followed through on promised economic cooperation or peace agreements, all while importing the latest F-35 stealth fighters and conducting military drills with the United States. The KCNA report did not mention Trump or the United States, but said Kim criticised South Korean authorities for staging joint military exercises, which Trump promised to end after his first meeting with Kim in June 2018. North Korea accused Washington of breaking that promise by planning to hold joint military exercises with South Korea next month and warned of a possible end to its freeze in nuclear and long-range missile tests. While Friday's message is very clearly directed at Seoul, it does send signals to Washington as well, said Jenny Town, managing editor at 38 North, a project that studies North Korea. "On some level, this is like North Korea's version of maximum pressure on South Korea and the United States." North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun showed photos of the missile launching, Kim Jong-un looking through binoculars and at screens appearing to show the missile trajectory, and smiling and clapping with his officials. Kim said the test was "a solemn warning to the south Korean military warmongers" and accused South Koreans of "double dealing" for saying they support peace but simultaneously importing new weapons and conducting military drills. South Korea's leader should stop such "suicidal acts" and "should not make a mistake of ignoring the warning," Kim said. Kim said he was satisfied with the rapid response and low-altitude trajectory of the weapon, which he said would make it difficult to intercept. Posted by: trailing wife 2019-07-26 |
