I unnderstand I should have been more detailed in my last comment

I didn't mean KJU is going to put a nuke on the top of his ICBMs and fire them towards Guam or other USA controlled areas.

He is what i fear going make another test of his ICBM and fire 1.2 of them towards Guam-Where they will drop near the coast.

It's from hearing, reading all these expert on Danish and Swedish TV talking about KJU I get this fear-
He's going to do something like a spoiled child who didn't get what it wanted by his parents.

Your newspapers and local TV stations probably sell advertising and air time too just like ours. Someone is making money off of fear of NK and hurricanes and Putin

You mean like this?



Yeah, that's the Pukkuksong-1 you're after. Range is anything between 700 to 1500 miles. Launches from the Sinpo class, which seems to be some kind of Kilo or Golf derivative, but smaller.



Only one in service at the moment though. Might be another five in the works though, actual missile capability is low, one or two, and the acoustic dampening ability is questionable, but it is a diesel electric so it could cause some problems by hiding in coastal areas.

Take a serious look at this 6 and 1/2 minute very rare video taken in May last year from a Piper Matrix PA-46 Light Plane ... no moving trucks or cars or ships ... does everyone walk or ride bicycles?

[Jimbuna]

They're probably all hiding from their illustrious leader.

Nonsense, I saw moving cars on impressive boulevards of the Potemkin village.

Saw this on a not so trustworthy news page on FB

"UN Security Council unanimously approves resolution on North Korea"

Tried to find other sources to this and I found Washington post had a little notice about it, but in the bottom it said something that made me unsure if I could link to their article.

Saw it on BBC News.

The United Nations has imposed a fresh round of sanctions on North Korea after its sixth and largest nuclear test.
The measures restrict oil imports and ban textile exports - an attempt to starve the North of fuel and income for its weapons programmes.
The US had originally proposed harsher sanctions including a total ban on oil imports.
The vote was only passed unanimously after Pyongyang allies Russia and China agreed to the reduced measures.
The sanctions, which were passed at a UN Security Council meeting on Monday, were met with anger by North Korea.
A statement on state news agency KNCA warned that if the US did eventually push through harsher sanctions, North Korea would "absolutely make sure that the US pays due price".

North Korea: As UN sanctions bite, Chinese tourists flock to gawk at their poor neighbours.
Just a few kilometres north of the thriving Chinese border city of Dandong, a daily routine plays out that highlights the huge gap between Asia's two socialist allies.

Every hour during the day, dozens of Chinese boats speed off from a jetty on the Yalu river, packed with tourists, cameras and selfie sticks.

They speed down the water into North Korean territory, past fishermen, soldiers and agricultural workers tending bullock-carts.

As they gawk at their neighbours, a tour guide explains through a crackly speaker that North Korea isn't as economically developed as China.

The latest round of sanctions won't work either: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/w...-industry.html http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/13/news/economy/china-north-korea-trade-data-us-trump/index.html

Some exemptions were to be allowed for imports from North Korea for the what was translated as “the people’s well-being,” or “livelihood purposes.” It appears that China is interpreting the “people’s well-being” as meaning North Korea should be able to export record amounts of coal in defiance of sanctions against the rogue nuclear-armed state. This would appear to be a very broad exemption as other than the brief decline in April, imports of North Korean coal have been rising, allowing the country to once again become China’s third-biggest supplier of the fuel behind Australia and Indonesia...
About 90 percent of Pyongyang’s trade is with China, and coal accounts for nearly 40 percent of that in value terms, according to a Sept. 24 report in the Nikkei Asian Review. This means coal is an essential lifeline for North Korea, and it also means China has an extremely powerful hold over its neighbour, should it choose to exercise it. But it’s also likely that the coal trade with North Korea has prospered this year as type of coal supplied by Pyongyang is in high demand. North Korea’s exports are almost exclusively anthracite, a high-grade hard coal that Chinese buyers use mainly for steel and ceramic manufacture,

Australian coal is more expensive thus cheaper N. Korean coal is alluring to China... whatever their professed 'sanction intents'. Without hard enforcement, sanctions are a feel-good shell game and fatboy knows it.

I sometimes doubt that anyone in the US making these suggestions has done any research on "Juche" as it applies to the North Koreans

Sanctions won't change the North Korean government and only the people will suffer.

Pretty sure that North Korea watched what happened in Libya.

"Sure, abandon your WMD programs, we promise not to do anything... you can trust us. Would the US violate a promise?"
