North Korean state media reported on the most recent test-firing of its “super-large” multiple rocket launcher, saying it was the “final review.” Since it was apparently successful it is expected there will be a deployment soon.
South Korea expressed ‘strong regret’ over the test, but doesn’t appear to be intent on doing anything beyond that. President Trump has not commented, but in the past expressed ambivalence about tests of short-range rockets.
North Korea has established its deterrence to attack around massive amounts of artillery aimed at South Korea, and the rocket launchers will even further add to their ability to project strikes if a fight begins.
Japanese PM Abe Shinzo condemned the North Korean tests, leading North Korea to mock him as “the most stupid man ever known in history” who can’t tell the difference between rocket systems and a missile.
Abe was complaining about ballistic missile tests, which North Korea hasn’t done in some time. The North Korean statement warned that “Abe may seewhat a real ballistic missile is in the not distant future and under his nose.”
Do Kim and Trump have the same speechwriter? Or are they just similarly insane?
No – but Hillary Clinton did.
Nah. Otherwise it would have been: “We came with the most spectacular intense force, we saw with unbelievable clarity not known to man and he died by being impaled with a bayonet that was longer and sharper than any other bayonet of its kind”.
You paraphrased her actual words. We were discussing speechwriters.
Right. I added the words that would make her speechwriter seem the same as Trump’s. That’s what I thought churockz was referring to. Basing it on “super large” rocket launcher.
lol – well obviously Kim’s speechwriters are in a zone all of their own. Did you see that other article that expanded on the comments in this article? Hilarious

The situation facing South Korea has not changed, and so its policy has not changed. There is an effective deterrent against attack from the South, yet the North could not possibly make a successful attack of its own. So the South tries to find a deal.
The situation of Japan has gotten worse, and of the US evolves, but for South Korea it is what it has been for a long time.
If it was up to South Korea, they would find a way to make peace with North Korea.
