Default DPRK launches long range missile

Most likely straight into the sea but it's still too early to tell.

Apparently they're trying to develop a missile that will reach the west coast of the North American continent.

First, though, they've got to make one that will reach the west coast of the Korean peninsula...

EDIT: Updated news seems to indicate that the first stage of the rocket detached as planned and came down in the Yellow Sea, and the rest of the rocket passed over Okinawa but the Japanese decided not to shoot it down (perhaps in the hope that it would crash anyway and save them the missiles) but whether the 'satellite' made it into orbit has yet to be confirmed.

Instead of building really bad missiles, Kim Jong Un, why don't you, I don't know, FEED YOUR PEOPLE?!

Same reason why some factions in America want to cut medicare, because we are broke, but always seem to find the resources go to war with Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan etc..

It is all about enriching your friends.

The people are pawns, occasionally, once in 100 games we can become a queen, but the chances of us making it across the board is slim to nil.

(chess reference, booo me)
