#4 Let me guess: it will fail to achieve orbit and the 'payload' will land somewhere near L.A. ...

#6 Wehell, the US now affirms that the Norkie rocket launch may break the US-DPRK food deal.

Personally, I'm not convinced - as times before, IMO the DPRK's NucProg is as much agz domination or annexation of North Korea by China as agz anyone else, espec vee the non-Kim ruled, pro-democracy South. PYONGYANG IS HUNGRY FOR NORCOM + DPRK-N-ONLY-DPRK IDEO, GEOPOL CREDIBILITY.

Truth be told, its in South Korea's [+ US, Nippon] to let the North have Nukes.

A few decades of grass-eating can do that to a country.

FAILURE OF MAINLAND CHINA TO FORMALLY INTEGRATE + RE-UNIFY WID TAIWAN = CHINA'S GONNA KEEP NORTH KOREA "AS IS", OR ELSE ANNEX IT. Again, by most accounts the new SIno-DPRK FTAS will onlt expand China's influence + control oer the DPRK, NOT LESSEN IT.

#7 Which way will they launch, round the world or only as far as America before a "Major Breakown" and the satlite "Falls" iuto the LA basin?

Sounds like a trial run to me. Shoot it down over the Pacific if westward, or over the Atlantic if eastward.

BUT SHOOT IT DOWN.
