North Korea missile tests: Biggest launch since 2017
30 January 2022
North Korea has conducted what is thought to be its biggest missile launch since 2017.
The weapon was apparently an intermediate range missile which reached an altitude of 2,000km before coming down in the Sea of Japan.
Japan, South Korea and the US have all condemned the launch, the seventh test this month.
The UN prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, and has imposed strict sanctions.

(7,839 posts)Why does no one condemn America for launching its near uncountable number of nuclear tipped missile tests, uranium enrichment for 10,000 bombsx, daily military exercises from multiple branches of a massive military
at the rate of $800,000,000,000 per year, year after year,
all over the world?

(7,211 posts)that NK is playing. Yawn. They want something from us, so they play the "terror" card. All they have to do is make nice, put away their nuclear card, and join the world community. Quit threatening their neighbors. Is that so hard? Yeah, it is, because they have that super asshole running their country.
Meanwhile, you ask why no one condemns America for blah, blah, blah...well, there is plenty of condemnation for bad things we do (just not of Democrats.) We wouldn't have condemned Russia from its preps, if they hadn't annexed Crimea and massed invasion strength troop levels along the Ukraine borders. Are you suggesting that we do nothing to protect ourselves from aggression by those who would like nothing better than to see us fall? This is very much like 1930s Germany, and what they did before they started WWII.
Do you see us crushing NK over this? No. Lil' Kim will continue his game, while we puzzle over the Ukranian crisis. Should he miscalculate and nail Japan with a missile, he'll get his. We are pledged to protect Japan. But, as long as we see him working on his nuclears, we will treat him like the pariah he is. Nothing else to do here.
