Are You In, Or Out: North Korea with missiles...

Just a short post on what happened this morning during the Germany versus Italy.


North Korea test-launched 3 missiles, 2 medium range Scud-like and one long-range Taepodong-2, the launch of a fourth missile was being determined.

From CNN.com


"North Korea launched a long-range Taepodong-2 missile early Wednesday in an apparently unsuccessful test that failed in flight, a senior State Department official said.

North Korea also tested at least two smaller missiles, U.S. sources told CNN.

Both missiles were launched from a site other than the one intelligence officials have watched for weeks ahead of the long-range missile test, a senior State Department official said.

The United States, Japan and other countries have warned North Korea against a long-range missile test, saying such a move would be considered a provocation."




Even though the official opinion is that the results which failed indicated that Nort Korea is still a long way from launching a proper ICBM (Intercontinantal Ballistic Missile) I kinda doubt it.

I'm not a pessimist, but it seems that North Korea is practically on the verge of causing some major global chaos in the near future.

Just something to ponder about...




Edit: Italy won. Tough luck for the Germans. Ah well.

Star wars hoax !
Put your money in stocks of military contractors making
defense shields for Japan and China.
