NDtBF is playing brinksmanship again, attempting to launch a medium range ballistic missile today in recognition of the 105th birthday of the late North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, NDtBF\u2019s grandfather. Unfortunately, things didn\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n
\u2018North Korean missile fired from the east coast of the country Sunday \u201cblew up almost immediately,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n
Trump did not release a statement on the launch. Defense Secretary Mattis said Trump and his military team “are aware of North Korea’s most recent unsuccessful missile launch. The president has no further comment.”<\/p>\n
Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland on Sunday declined to say whether the U.S. cyber-sabotaged North Korea\u2019s failed missile launch, saying only that it was \u201ca fizzle.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n
Sabotage or not, I\u2019ve been involved in flight test now for, well, a long time. One can learn a lot from failures. On the other hand, had this launch been successful, I believe it would have been shot down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
