"North Korea has been floating balloons over the border with a cargo of propaganda leaflets denouncing the United States as well as South Korean leader Park Geun-hye, calling her “political filth.”

Recently, the leaflets have been accompanied by genuine filth: cigarette butts and used toilet paper."

Stay classy the only fat lad in NK.

He doesn't get on with some people.

Oh, no, he fed him to hungry dogs, I forgot.

Fed him to the dogs, aye, right!

"Kim, where is your uncle?"

"He...gone away (burp)".

So satellite launch or long range missile?

What will be the repercussions if it is the latter?

It seems NK isn't bothered by the UN, it's sanctions, the never ending stream of global condemnation, or the fact that it's making itself even harder to get along with.

Crunch time aporoacheth.

We either accept the inevitable forthcoming existance of a nuclear bomb and delivery system owning North Korea...

or, try and talk some sense to them...

or, nip this in the bud and send a strong message in the form of half a dozen Paveways and 1000 pounders by next day delivery to level said facility, and bear the consequences.

The South Korean capital, Seoul, is within conventional artillery range of the North Korean border. It is home to 10 million people.

or perhaps realise that trying to take a country's sovereignty, forcing them through laws imposed by other countries, threatening them, flying over them continuously, preventing trade so they can work their way out of poverty is fking ridiculous, and what is making this whole situation 10 times worse.

but yeah, bomb/threaten/shoot people to show them whats right, seemed to work in vietnam/Cuba/Iraq/Guatemala etc etc.

not saying I like/agree/support Kim at all in any way shape or form, but what do you actually expect these sanctions to do? It's certainly not him that starving!

[loose cannon]

Well I think china will soon be left with no choice but to deal with him in some fashion as he will become to much of a pain to be a safe buffer zone for them for much longer , even they must be fed up of the naughty boy by now perhaps,
