South Korea continues to know whenever Little Kim blows his nose. So of course, they are always on top of every launch by the starving and desperate neighbor to the north.
North Korea conducted a missile test on Monday, firing two ballistic missiles from Jangyon, in the southeastern part of the country, with one missile potentially experiencing flight issues. This event occurred shortly after North Korea expressed discontent with a new U.S.-led military exercise involving South Korea and Japan, promising a strong and offensive response.

The South Korean military reported that the first missile traveled approximately 370 miles before landing in the eastern waters near Chongjin, while the second missile flew only about 75 miles and likely crashed inland due to a suspected malfunction during its initial ascent. Details on the exact impact site or potential debris from the second missile remain under investigation, with South Korean officials continuing to analyze the situation.

This missile launch follows a series of military activities in the region, including the “Freedom Edge” drill conducted by the U.S., South Korea, and Japan. This exercise, which involved an array of sophisticated naval and aerial maneuvers, was designed to enhance trilateral defense capabilities against ballistic missile threats, submarine warfare, and other security challenges. North Korea has condemned these drills, likening the trilateral partnership to an “Asian NATO” and accusing it of undermining regional stability and security.
North Korea’s aggressive rhetoric and actions come in the wake of its recent agreement with Russia, promising mutual defense support, which has sparked concerns over increased military provocations. Additionally, North Korea continues its political maneuvers with the recent convening of a significant party meeting to address urgent national strategies aimed at reinforcing its governance model and responding to international pressures.

These developments indicate a significant escalation in North Korea’s military and diplomatic activities, reflecting ongoing regional security tensions and the complexities of international relations in Northeast Asia. Will Putin use North Korea as another front if Biden keeps pushing for an expanded war in Europe? Will the new defense pact show us a completely nuclear armed North Korea, thanks to superior Russian armaments? These are questions that will confront the world in the coming years. Thank God the U.S. is all but set to welcome back President Trump into office. Had the election of 2020 not met the corrupt actions at 3:30 am in 5 states, in a coordinated steal, there would never have been a war in Europe to begin with, and out Little Kim would be on a leash.
Key Points:
i. North Korea launched two ballistic missiles, with one potentially malfunctioning and crashing inland.
ii. The missile tests occurred following North Korea’s vocal opposition to the U.S.-led “Freedom Edge” military drill with South Korea and Japan.
iii. The drills were intended to strengthen defense strategies against potential threats from North Korea and to maintain regional security.
iv. North Korea’s recent defense pact with Russia and aggressive military testing suggest a strategic bolstering of its defense and foreign policy.
v. Ongoing regional tensions are exacerbated by North Korea’s threats and its criticism of international military cooperation in Northeast Asia.
