Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird is pleased. Everyone gets an extra two grains of rice for dinner next week.<\/p>\n<p>From the August article:\u00a0 SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea said Sunday (8\/25) that leader Kim Jong Un supervised the test-firing of a \u201cnewly developed super-large multiple rocket launcher,\u201d another demonstration of the North\u2019s expanding weapons arsenal apparently aimed at increasing its leverage ahead of a possible resumption of nuclear talks with the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The North&#8217;s official Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA, said that Saturday&#8217;s weapons test was successful and cited Kim as saying the rocket launcher is &#8220;indeed a great weapon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kim underscored the need to &#8220;continue to step up the development of Korean-style strategic and tactical weapons for resolutely frustrating the ever-mounting military threats and pressure offensive of the hostile forces,&#8221; according to KCNA.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201chostile forces\u201d likely referred to the United States and South Korea, whose recently ended regular\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2019\/07\/25\/north-korea-says-missile-test-was-solemn-warning-to-south-korea\/\">military drills infuriated North Korea<\/a>. The North has called the drills an invasion rehearsal and conducted a slew of missile and rocket tests in response. \u2013 article<\/p>\n<p>However, the most recent release from north of the DMZ is that the Norks are continuing with testing an that big old rocket launcher, as follows:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2019\/12\/01\/north-korea-may-deploy-super-large-rocket-launcher-soon\/\">https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2019\/12\/01\/north-korea-may-deploy-super-large-rocket-launcher-soon\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the article:\u00a0 SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea said Friday the latest test-firing of its \u201csuper-large\u201d multiple rocket launcher was a final review of the weapon\u2019s combat application, a suggestion that the country is preparing to deploy the new weapons system soon.<\/p>\n<div class=\" mco-body-item mco-body-type-text\">\n<p class=\"element element-paragraph\">South Korea\u2019s military earlier said North Korea fired two projectiles, likely from the same \u201csuper-large\u201d rocket launcher, on Thursday. It expressed \u201cstrong regret\u201d over the launches and urged North Korea to stop escalating tensions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" mco-body-item mco-body-type-text\">\n<p class=\"element element-paragraph\">On Friday, the North\u2019s Korean Central News Agency confirmed the launches were made with the presence of leader Kim Jong Un and other top officials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" mco-body-item mco-body-type-text\">\n<p class=\"element element-paragraph\">\u201cThe volley test-fire aimed to finally examine the combat application of the super-large multiple launch rocket system proved the military and technical superiority of the weapon system and its firm reliability,\u201d KCNA said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" mco-body-item mco-body-type-text\">\n<p class=\"element element-paragraph\">It said Kim expressed \u201cgreat satisfaction\u201d over the results of the test-firing. &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>Now, remember, this is to let the South and the US of A know that he&#8217;s ready for a pissing match, no matter what. His engineers are doing an impressive job of developing rocketry. You&#8217;d think that he might want to launch a satellite to broadcast Nork News At Nine, but that doesn&#8217;t seem to have crossed his mind.\u00a0 He&#8217;s spending all his cash on rocketry, while the rest of his world goes hungry.<\/p>\n<p>I think we should keep our troops there for the duration.
