it`s good that the greatest generation ,grew some balls and, stopped appeasing hitler when they did or the world would have faced this problem of a psycho rogue nation with nukes a long time ago.Too bad no generation since then has had the balls to prevent it from happening.

I get the idea here, yes OUR former politicians have kicked the can down the road for decades, paid what amount to bribes, declared "peace at hand" and other such hogwash just to avoid tackling a problem that was manageable but not in their own political interests at the time.

Now it's time to pay the piper.

Well folks, seems the old chubster has finally placed the last nail in the coffin.

North Korea has claimed its latest launch was a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong 15, which can hit all the US mainland. The announcement was made on North Korean state TV on Wednesday, following the launch on Tuesday (earlier Wednesday Pyongyang time). The missile flew some 1,000 kilometers eastward, according to the Pentagon, before falling in the Sea of Japan without causing any damage. Pyongyang's statement also declared that the North now has a full-fledged nuclear force. "North Korean leader Kim Jong-un announced that the country has realized the great historic cause of completing a state nuclear force," it said, as cited by Yonhap.
