The North Korean regime has launched the two missiles over the Sea of Japan, according to a BBC report. The launches are the first for 2020, and indicate that North Korean tyrant and Trump's love interest Kim Jong Un is moving forward with testing their missile technology with the aim of improving control and accuracy.
The South Korean military believes that the missiles are short range ballistic missiles. The launches come after U.S. - South Korean joint military exercises were cancelled. With talks between Kim and con man and buffoon Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump suspended indefinitely, the North Korean regime is moving ahead with its military efforts:
"Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said the tests seemed to be 'less provocative than North Korea is capable of.'
But the country is still 'making it clear it will continue to improve military capabilities and make outsized demands.'
Prof Easley added: 'The US and South Korea postponing their drills and offering humanitarian assistance has earned no goodwill from a Kim regime that sees little benefit in restarting diplomacy.'" (our emphasis)They played on Trump's narcissism and ignorance for the better part of two years, while they continued to develop their missile capabilities. Trump also managed to give international credibility and legitimacy to the Kim regime at no cost to them. Kim bought that extra time cheaply with a couple of flattering letters and photo opportunities that an easily manipulated Trump was eager to get. Look what we're getting in return.
