| North Korea rolls out missiles, other weaponry at parade (Video) |
| 2017-04-15 |
| [ABC] North Korea rolled out intercontinental ballistic missiles and other military hardware at a massive parade on Saturday to celebrate the birthday of the country's late founder, as third-generation leader Kim Jong Un looked on in delight. State television showed Kim, wearing a black suit and white shirt, stepping out of a limousine and saluting his honor guard before walking down a red carpet. He then stepped up to a podium and clapped with senior government officials to address the thousands of soldiers and civilians taking part in the parade at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, the capital. The festivities, celebrating the 105th birthday of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Un's grandfather, took place amid concerns that North Korea is possibly preparing for its sixth nuclear test or a significant rocket launch, such as its first flight test of an ICBM. |

| #8 From Dr. No "There were reports of interference ("toppling" - throwing off the gyroscopic controls of a missile with a radio beam) with Cape Canaveral rockets, originating from the Jamaica area." Just saying. |

| #7 Saw THIS on a headline at Drudge linking to the UK Daily Mail article on NORK missile explosion. Wonder if we have some kind of countermeasures in play here.......we can hope. Had another launch phase explosion a while ago. |

| #5 I don't think China will do anything significant. Does the hand puppet have an existence independent of the hand? |

| #4 Something has to be done about the Norks, and sooner is better. I don't think China will do anything significant. Will Trump grasp the nettle? |

| #3 Bill Clinton, huh? Wasn't he the president who first allowed Pudgy's dad to violate UN agreements on the prohibition of nuclear weapons development? |

| #1 Caution: The monkey pawed, turd flinging George Stephanopoulos seizes the opportunity to mention "President Bill Clinton" and use the word "bromance" in interview with ABC's Martha Raddatz. |
