North Korea is being reported to have fired another missile over Japan in the past hour or so.
Nothing confirmed right now. That's all I got.

The missile was fired exactly 30 minutes ago as I write this.

Lil' Kim just keeps on trying to find out where the line is....

Now I hope that Trump makes good on his threat to impose trade embargoes on the countries that still trade with the Norks...Russia, India, and China.

The South Korean diplomatic legation in Washington DC has formally requested the US to forward deploy nuclear weapons to South Korea to deter any attack by Lil' Kim.

The problem there is that particular cure is worse than the disease. That would cause an international trade war and recession.

Beats the hell out of a nuclear war and then a recession!

He just gave the bear another poke...
Sooner or later that bear is going to rise up and take his head off.

So the South fired a couple of missiles into the sea 6 minutes after Kimmy's.
250km and then water, which is the same distance as the border to Pyongyang. 
Air raid sirens went off in northern Japan, along with phone messages,
oh boy, spooky stuff.

I don't understand why Kim Jong Fatass seems to have no survival instinct? Keep poking the bear, and eventually the bear will eat you.

It's simple. He thinks that the Dragon will always be there to protect him from the bear and when you're the poster boy for sociopaths everywhere any foray into a reality that doesn't suit your vision is completely repressed.

After seeing that documentary on North Korea, I think it's that he's got himself into a never ending spiral of propaganda that if he stops it, his tenuous hold on the country will end.
He has to amp up the rhetoric, because his people think they are winning, and that is the only reason they endure what they do. When they realize they have been duped, his reign is at an end.

I'm not sure that's it. He's racing towards nukes because he knows that makes him untouchable once he has them.
