In a move which can only be construed as calling President Trump’s bluff over his ‘fire and fury’ threat over further provocations, U.S. Pacific Command announced that North Korea has launched several ‘Short-Range’ ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan today.

Earlier today, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that several ‘unidentified projectiles’ from area of Gitdaeryong in Gangwon Province at around 6:49 a.m. local time, flying over 250 Km (155 miles) towards the North East.
“Our military is closely monitoring for North Korean additional provocation and strengthened surveillance and security postures and maintaining readiness postures,” the South Korean release said.
Meanwhile, Japanese officials told Kyodo news service that the North had fired ‘a projectile’ into the sea between Japan and the Korean peninsula.
The launch marks the 15th missile test by North Korea in 2017, and the first since new UN sanctions kicked in earlier this month.
Can’t wait for all that ‘fire and fury,’ can you?
NK is a sovereign nation and if they want to test their military gear they should be able to…it’s not like they are bombing some other country under the pretense of enabling democratic process by bombing the entire nation into stone age and then shackling them with debt in order to rebuild what was destroyed by them in the first place.
Was the US or any of it’s territories hit?
Didn’t think so.
6:49 a.m. aye? I’m guessing someone had a hell of a night and wanted another super retardo version of a fireworks show, pronto
How would we ever know if NK actually fired these missiles of if the fake stream news media is lying on behalf of the MIC?
Metalleg : I was wondering the same. There is no way to verify anything reported on NK.
Maybe if they shut their mouth and didn’t voice their intention to turn parts is the USA to ashes.. But that was never the case.
The game here is obviously to get the Norks to fire all their missiles into the sea and then attack
