North Korean ballistic missile launch FAILS

[Siddharta]

North Korean ballistic missile launch FAILS: Kim Jong-un launches new 'game changer missile' hours after it was introduced at a military parade - but it BLOWS UP almost immediately in embarrassing failure

• North Korea is thought to have attempted to fire a missile amid rising tensions
• But the launch failed in what could prove to be embarrassing for the country
• According to military official the weapon is 'presumed to be a new ICBM'
• Comes hours after North Korea unveiled 'game-changer' ballistic missiles
• US Vice President Mike Pence due to land in South Korean capital Seoul

 

North Korea has attempted to fire a missile it introduced just hours ago at a military parade - but the launch was an embarrassing failure after the weapon blew up almost immediately.

It is thought to be one of the country's new 'game-changer' intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) which was revealed to the world in a display of military might yesterday.

The South Korean defence ministry said it had detected a failed launch from Sinpo - where North Korea's biggest submarine base is located.

According to a military official the weapon is 'presumed to be a new ICBM' as it is longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 missiles.

US defence secretary James Mattis said Donald Trump is 'aware' of the launch and has no further comment.

The South Korean defence ministry said in a statement: 'North Korea attempted to test an unidentified type of missile from Sinpo area in the South Hamkyong Province this morning, but we suspect the launch has failed.'

In a statement, the US military said: 'U.S. Pacific Command detected and tracked what we assess was a North Korean missile launch at 11:21 a.m. Hawaii time April 15.

'The launch of the ballistic missile occurred near Sinpo.

'The missile blew up almost immediately. The type of missile is still being assessed.

'U.S. Pacific Command is fully committed to working closely with our allies in the Republic of Korea and in Japan to maintain security.'

The Foreign Office has said it is 'concerned by reports of a missile test by North Korea' and is 'monitoring the situation closely'.

It comes just hours after North Korea unveiled new weapons during a display of the country's military might in the country's capital Pyongyang as Kim Jong-Un warned of an 'annihilating strike' if the US attacks.

President Donald Trump had previously pledged to 'take care' of the issue following his surprise cruise missile attack on Syria over its use of chemical weapons.

Meanwhile Pyongyang threatened 'catastrophic consequences' when Trump sent an armada of warships to the Korean Peninsula.

At the same time, China has moved 150,000 troops to its border to deal with a possible influx of North Korean refugees amid fears Trump may strike Kim following the surprise US missile attack on Syria last week.

The festivities, celebrating the 105th birthday of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong-un's grandfather, took place amid concerns that North Korea is possibly preparing for its sixth nuclear test or a significant rocket launch, such as its first flight test of an ICBM

The intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), which Pyongyang claim could travel thousands of miles, have increased concerns that the secretive state is preparing for a possible attack on Washington after they were paraded during the country's Day of the Sun celebrations.

US Vice President Mike Pence is due to land in the South Korean capital Seoul in hours for a 10-day trip to Asia.

Just hours before the apparently failed launch a gleeful Kim, wearing a Western-style suit at Kim Il-sung Square, saluted formations of soldiers who yelled out 'long live' to celebrate the 105th anniversary of his grandfather's birth.

 

 

 

The two new kinds of ICBM were enclosed in canister launchers mounted on the back of transporter erector launcher trucks as they were paraded in front of crowds during today's festivities.

Pyongyang has yet to formally announce it has an operational ICBM but experts believe they the new rockets could be liquid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missiles, or an early prototype.

Submarine-launched ballistic missiles were also among the military hardware on show for the first time.

Sir Malcolm Rifkind said it was possible the missile’s operating system had been sabotaged by a US cyber attack.

A BRIEFING ON THE HISTORY

OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS

By Zoltán Grossman, October 2001

Published in Z magazine. Translations in Italian Polish

Since the September 11 attacks on the United States, most people in the world agree that the perpetrators need to be brought to justice, without killing many thousands of civilians in the process. But unfortunately, the U.S. military has always accepted massive civilian death

A BRIEFING ON THE HISTORY

OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS

By Zoltán Grossman, October 2001

Published in Z magazine. Translations in Italian Polish

Since the September 11 attacks on the United States, most people in the world agree that the perpetrators need to be brought to justice, without killing many thousands of civilians in the process. But unfortunately, the U.S. military has always accepted massive civilian death

http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/interventions.html

UK in bed with most of this and ?

 

lets begin with the Armenian massacre... or did that not happen..then lets look at all the invasions Russia and then lets look at how japan acted since the late 1800 to 1945 did in the recent past too///or it seems you wish to ONLY   look at one countries discretions... countries do bad and stupid things...ALL COUNTRIES.... not just your cherry picked ones

 

[Siddharta]

Quote

it dont look like war will be a  option unless they want to go to war with Russia , China  and North Korea

 

Similar situation as 100 hundred years ago ain't it? The so-called alliances, the arms race, a highly belligerant country, everybody preparing for a war.... I wonder who will kill Franz Ferdinand now? That is, anything could trigger the conflict, they will find an excuse. Or do you believe North Korea has been producing so many weapons for their children to play with or not to use them at all? Poor South Korea....poor human race!

 

P.S.

In history lessons  we were taught that we should learn it to avoid making the same mistakes all over again, but another history teacher also showed to us that everything recurs....

[SnakeMasteR]

Kim's fat ass might sooner be wiped from the face of earth than he might be able to see his dick under his belly.

[Siddharta]

Yeah, hope so. A dron could do the job! But I wonder if that may not start the war....

 

[SnakeMasteR]

Reality is, it wouldn't change anything. It's like with the mafia, born into this, you either get your ass up to the standard, or else you are gone faster than you can bind your shoes, giving the space to someone doing right - to their standards. 

[Akaneharuka]

In my country Korea said in the news We only test the missile to check if it work or not, We are not gonna really using it.

The old saying is a house divided  can't stand  the USA should of finished what they started  in  1953. They never did win that war it was a tie . The way things are now is totally different from the way they was then. In that  war it was the US vs China. If  Truman would of  let General MacArthur done what he wanted too he would of wiped them off the map long ago. Truman saved Korea from MacArthur.

 

That's the  reason nuclear weapons cant be fired off  from the USA  without a direct  order from the president was that Truman pulled the power out of the military hands to do it.Because General MacArthur wanted to use the A Bomb . So Truman fired him  The people of the USA at the time were behind MacArthur and got mad at Truman that's why we ended up with Dwight D. Eisenhower.. Truman knewn he would not be voted in so he did not run.

Quote

In March 1952 he announced he was not going to run for reelection. By the time he left the White House in January 1953, his approval rating was just 31 percent; it had peaked at 87 percent in July 1945.

 

In War they can run  for more than 2 terms.

When the U.S.A., Russia, the U.K., China, France

-as well as Pakistan, India, and Israel-

have all developed Nuclear weapons,

it is legitimate.

 

When another country,

like North Korea, Iran etc.

tries to develop Nuclear arms,

it is not legitimate.

 

I find it purely hypocritical...

well one of those countries on the bottom list repeatedly vows to kill everyone and or drive them into the sea in one of the countries on the top list...now that's mental stability ain't it and proof they would act in good faith and that the world would be a safer place with a nuke in the hands of those leaders if anyone ever heard it

[Siddharta]

Yeah, some people develop weapons to defend themselves, whereas other countries develop weapons to annihilate their neighbours or to enslave others. Should we allow that? Should we close our eyes to that? I don't think so....

Of course, you're right. so how the hell the zionist regime has nuclear weapons when all they do is killing children and innocent people, their neighbors? they are aggressive, not stable and at war, not to mention that they accept ISIS members in their hospitals, which you can find in the news.

now tell me how US is allowed to have nuclear weapons? oh you mean they are stable that's why they nuked Japan? Lol

 

[Siddharta]

They have never used their nuclear weapons to kill their neighbours. If their enemies had developed nuclear bombs, Israel would not exist nowadays. Children and innocent people on purpose?   I have seen Palestinian forces launching missiles from where those innocent people and children are. By the way I am not Jewish

Russia says hopes USA will not act unilaterally against North Korea

 

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Moscow could not accept North Korea's "reckless nuclear actions" but said he hoped the United States would not take any unilateral action against Pyongyang.

 

Lavrov warned against anyone responding to North Korea's behaviour by "breaking international law."

 

In televised comments, he also said that Russia was ready to restore relations with Washington and would judge U.S. President Donald Trump's readiness to do the same by his statements. (Reporting by Polina Devitt; Writing by Maria Tsvetkova; Editing by Andrew Osborn)

Lol so if someone come and burn your children alive and rape your family, you stay like a carrot and do nothing?  

Idk what you mean by "seen". most western media blocks those content, don't let people see the truth, Youtube for example.

btw I never said they use nuclear weapons on their neighbor areas, where did you get that? oO

[Siddharta]

Maybe they shouldn't be launching missiles from hospitals where those children and innocent people are. Non lol.
