Kim's going to die very soon, and the best strategy is to ignore DPRK and give them nothing, no matter what they do. THere are factions in DPRK who support different policies. The hardliners will gain power if the US and Japan cave in to blackmail tactics. Sooner or later there will be change in Kim Dynasty. Until then, the best strategy is to do nothing, so that the hardliners won't get a victory. We want the greedy "reformers" to take over when Kim Dynasty implode.

NORAD and USNORTHCOM monitor North Korean launch

April 05, 2009

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command officials acknowledged today that North Korea launched a Taepo Dong 2 missile at 10:30 p.m. EDT Saturday which passed over the Sea of Japan/East Sea and the nation of Japan.

Stage one of the missile fell into the Sea of Japan/East Sea. The remaining stages along with the payload itself landed in the Pacific Ocean.

No object entered orbit and no debris fell on Japan.

NORAD and USNORTHCOM assessed the space launch vehicle as not a threat to North America or Hawaii and took no action in response to this launch.

This is all of the information that will be provided by NORAD and USNORTHCOM pertaining to the launch.

The message this sends may very well get people killed.

A test of an IRBM/ICBM. Question is, was there any attempt to check for accuracy of fall? Using up 2% of your industrial GDP to spasm one into the wild blue makes no sense unless you have a sponsor who uses you as a Carny schill.

I'm no cake eater. Call them Iran.

Herald, do you think this was a DPRK show to Iran that the technology they are selling / have sold to Iran can hit Israel?

What I know was that there was an Iranian delegation in that country that entered at least two weeks prior to the shot, and that some of those Iranians were engineers-specifically rocketeers.

Garbled report....

Draw your own conclusions.

I am sure that is purely coincidence. I wait, I do not believe in coincidence.

Now is not the time to have an amateur at the helm.
