That look hella fake...

Here is the picture from the article that claims to show the launch, look at those cartoon flames and rocket.

What good is international law if everyone breaks it and nothing is ever done about it other the a We condemn your actions and give a good finger shake .

Those are not flames. The missile tested was a Hwasong-17. It is a liquid fueled rocket using some combination of Hydrazine and Nitrogen Tetroxide as the propellants. Those propellants are commonly used because they are considered storable. That's important for an ICBM because the missile can be kept fueled up and ready to launch on short notice. This is the same technology the US used in the early Titan II ICBMs in the 1960s. When those two propellants burn, they produce large clouds of smoke containing Nitrogen Dioxide which is that reddish orange color. This is the normal appearance for a missile launch using those propellants.

Here it is on NBC if ya'll want a more mainstream source.

The White House condemned the test.

Wow the rats knows that biden the US bozo president is a zero, soo they are out to play as they will get no spanking.

Still no video of the incident, the pictures are not the same rocket as the cartoon rocket, and they are old pictures not related.

What's your point? The White House is in cahoots with North Korea to claim a missile was launched and there wasn't actually one launched?

My post said similar and got deleted. Oh well...Guess I'll have to start posting my "political" statements AFTER you post yours. You can be my human shield, Marg!

Pertaining to the second article down at this link: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Kim Jong-Un says he is now ready for a long war against the United States.

I wonder what he's got up his sleeve?

staff edit

Y'know what we should do? Trust anything NK says. Jesus, even France can wipe them off the planet. Lol, sorry France.

The Missile in North Korea.

The Hwasong-17 missile has a solid propellant upper stage with a MIRV warhead. The weight at launch is 100 metric tonnes making it the largest ICBM in the world. the liquid first stage has RD250 engines supplied by KB Yuzhnoye in Ukraine. Ukraine also taught NK how to manufacture solid propellant rockets in 2016, when they sent five engineers to DPRK.

North Korea has enough missiles and warheads now to take out every US city with a population over 500,000, which means every state capital and then some.

An estimated 200 1.5mt nuclear warheads based on centrifuges witnessed by IAEA inspector Seigfreid Hecker in 2010.
