#7 The Net has various Blog Artics indic that, despite being a Commie + Dictatorial State, there is often a lack of proper or good internal Inter-Govt. Coordination amongst the Pyongyang Boyz = Politicos + Military.

Regardless of whom is the current "Top/DEar Leader" is, a number of Govt. Bureaus allegedly tend to act "autonomously", even "independently, UNLESS "FORCED" TO COOPERATE/OBEY = TOW THE KIM FAMILY LINE???

IMO iff these Nork Bureaus don't obey the Kims, etal. THEY MUST BE OBEYING BEIJING???

#9 OOOOOPPSIES, forgot DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA + RUSSIA CONDUCT WAR EXERCISES AGZ JAPAN + SOUTH KOREA.

Maybe its just me, but I suspect the timing of the MilEx + Rocket Launch is not an accident???
