I've already heard a call to nuke DPRK after the launch today.

All I have to say is DPRK thanks Mr Rump for making them feel less secure and accelerating their development programs.

So now this is Trump's fault and not the multitude of administrations that went before all the way back to President Truman.

The acceleration is Rump's fault. Truman is guilty for starting it. It had come to a complete stop some years ago and peace was there for the taking, then shrub happened. shrub has consequences. Aren't shrub and Rump in the same group of deplorables?

thanks Mr Rump for making them feel less secure and accelerating their development programs.

Thanks Mr President Trump for having the GUTS to call a spade a spade and realizing you can't negotiate with a shovel.............only tools believe that.

Anyone participating in or attending the Winter Olympics will regret their choice.
Big Slime Mold will not be able to resist the opportunity to 'make a big noise' while the world is focused there.
Munich '72 will look like a teddy bear picnic in comparison.

Yes.
Now, South Korea's reunification minister says that additional missile launches can threaten the Pyeongchang Olympic Games.
"It could mean the death blow to the Olympic Games," Cho Myoung-Gyon said at a forum in Seoul.
(Strange that there is a reunification minister in South Korea. If reunited think Kim Ping Pong as a member of the Korean Parlament. Horror!)

Not strange at all. The people of Korea(north and south) want to be reunited. Families have been divided and estranged since WWII. The question is under what philosophy. I'm sure if given free choice the decision would be pretty easy for all and not in the favor of a little fat joke who's crazier than an outhouse rat.....

Partly true.
There is already trade between the countries. Non authorized of course.
But all those privileged people in Pyongyang I guess doesn't like the idea.
Especially those living in "Pyonghattan” who gets presents from Kim as being loyal to him:)
Presents like a new apartment, a fancy car or perhaps even better. A photo of him visiting his loyal people:)

Anyway, it will probably take decades for a reunification to happen.

If the N. Korean people were allowed to freely and in no fear vote their wishes. I doubt that China would allow a Pro Western Country on their border.

Quite correct although they might not have any more options about it than the USA does about DPRK getting nuke SLBM's. In any case it will be the terms of the necessary surrender that dictate the result.

I doubt that China would allow a Pro Western Country on their border.

I think China will say as Trump said after the latest NK missile launch.
"We will handle it":)

In return for China doing what is necessary.
We support a Peace Treaty, which allows an Independent, Non Nuclear, Pro China country on their border.

Do you have any example of any Pro China country?
Trump wrote this only 3 hours ago.

The Chinese Envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man. Hard to believe his people, and the military, put up with living in such horrible conditions. Russia and China condemned the launch.

I doubt that China would allow a Pro Western Country on their border.

I'm not so sure....i.e. Hong Kong.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-politics/hong-kong-activist-candidates-disqualified-from-election-idUSKCN10B01I

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A second local activist in Hong Kong has been disqualified from running in next month’s Legislative Council elections after declining to sign a new form saying the city is an “inalienable” part of China.
The requirement that candidates pledge that the former British colony is part of China, and that advocating independence could make them ineligible to stand for election, is the latest in a series of issues that have raised concern about what many people in Hong Kong see as mainland China’s increasing control.

In case someone have missed news reporting from NK.
Here she is.

Since we all know that Kim ll Sung invented both beer and hamburgers.
Well sort of. Drinking beer in NK is very restricted.

"Fan, Rätt sjyssst asså"

More than 200 hundreds are believed to have been killed due to the nuclear testings in North Korea.
People in China are of course very worried to NK's nuclear testings.
The mountain Punggye-Ri is close to China.
And in the Chinese town Erdaobaihe

Changbaishan is a tourist paradise all year round. But for how long, that is what many are asking more and more in China.
"I think if tourists from the south of China find out the risks here, they will not want to come here for fear of what the tests can lead to," said Dong Zi Liang.
He has lived in Erdaobaihe all his life.
Are you afraid?
"Obviously I'm afraid, there are no small tests going on. And at each test there are new earthquakes. All we can do when it happens is to run out of the house, "said Dong Zi Liang.

The US neighbors to the north should be very concerned by threats of Fat Dim Sum to 'Nuke' Washington DC......the ballistic trajectory of that 'Nuke' will cross a lot of Canadian territory en-route (and over some population centers, not just empty forest)........not to mention some Russian towns.


Everybody had better hope the US Anti Missile system works as designed.

I would be worried about that fact if NK had thousands of ICBMs, but at least for the present I doubt that they have 10 at the most and more likely only a couple.
