[QUOTE]North Korea has tested a number of short-range missiles - the latest in a series of launches condemned by other nations. The five projectiles fired on Monday flew for 120 miles (200km) and landed in waters east of North Korea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. South Korean news agency Yonhap, citing an unidentified government source, said the South Korean military was trying to find what types of missile and projectile were fired from south of the city of Hamhung.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://news.sky.com/story/1663771/north-korea-launches-short-range-missiles[/url] Is it even newsworthy at this point?
Big Jong's war against Atlantis is always newsworthy.
Of course it's newsworthy, a country that threatens war is testing missles and may even have nuclear capabilities, I don't know why everyone here underestimates them and downplays then every time a thread is posted about them.

It is quite interesting how much they have ramped up their weapons testing in the last few months.
They're wasting so much time and money with this War-on-Water.
I personally have absolutely no opposition to them wasting munitions. If China isn't supplying them with anything, and Russia isn't supplying them with anything, shouldn't it serve that they'll run out of fuel/munitions/weaponry eventually? Any decent fighting force has to drill, even if that means not using ammunition, but parts break and things degrade. I get that it's a drop in the bucket compared to what they're actually capable of fielding, but for the time being let them fire off as much as they want, as long as it doesn't hit anything.

If NK did anything stupid they'd get annexed in no time.

We're talking about the nation that would dismantle Chinese aid trains and send the engineers packing on buses, here. I'm not minimizing what they're doing, but the whole world has them on lock down. That (supposedly) means nothing coming in, nothing going out.

I remember a show about port authority that found a cargo ship destined to North Korea that hid an entire MiG engine inside containers of rice bags. The captain almost killed himself when the police found the jet.
