Oh those wacky north koreans

North Korea is ensuring its survival ;it is pretty obvious…
Fighto!
Each of these aggressive rocket launches could feed tens of thousands of the poorest NK peasants for a year. Instead they eat insects and boiled grass. Not that the evil Kim Dynasty has ever cared one bit about them. The Kim scum despise the North Korean people.

North Korea does not need to be test firing missiles or conducting nuclear tests to ensure their survival. As long as North Korea does not attempt to repeat 1950 and invade South Korea, they are insignificant.
North Korea's Kim family dictatorship has maintained sole and strict control over the country by pretending to be still at war, by adhering to the Song-Gun (Military First) policy where feeding the troops takes priority over feeding the people.
How strict is evidenced by North Korea having just executed 2 teenagers for the horrible crime of posessing and distrubuting South Korean movies.

Thank you USA!

How many of the poorest American peasants could be fed, housed, provided with health care and etc each year for the price of an aircraft carrier?

North Korea rocket man has a long ago passed the limits of a reasonable leader. He is clearly insane and needs to be contained for the benefit of the mankind. He is lunatic and not responsible, has to be stopped.
Axel
So every country whose political leaders test weapons are clearly insane, lunatic and not responsible?

There should be NO DOUBT in any expert mind that little kim are up to NO GOOD. Sooner or later little kim will blink and it will take about a week or so to put him out of his MISERY and bring freedom to NK.

Such a pitifully poor country, dictator Kim would be better off spending his money on helping his people.

Nothing to see here. Unless we're going to do something about it, There literally is nothing to do or see.
How many years has this been going on? Just keep the sanction, move on, keep prepared, and wait. Nothing else we can do except train and prepare for the worst scenario.

The US would flatten Pyongyang into dust heap,just with conventional weapon,I am not pro war,but NK should be conveyed with US military portfolio

Shouldn't N. Korea focus on it's poor people? Yet, they are testing expensive ballistic missiles. Building expensive nuclear weapons, shooting missiles multiple times a week. No issues from the anti-Japan crowd in that regards.
Expectations from our enemies: Japan do nothing no matter what happens.
N.Korea can shoot missiles over Japan, threatened Japan with Nuclear destruction, tested multiple nuclear weapons already, on top of Chinese massive threat and Russian aggression, invasion of neighboring countries.
This paid 50 cent army expect Japan to do nothing.
Ukraine did nothing for past 30 years, that country is destroyed in 2022, destabilize for decades to come,economy is gone,not prepared, even though they are winning and have massive foreign support.

What gives you the idea they don't already know? Of course they do. This is called sabre rattling.

Should a conflict ever occur, both sides will suffer big losses to the same degree, even if the U.S. and its allies may win. China and Russia will not be reticent about it and will be deeply involved. Certainly, a Third World War will be the end of the world.

The USSR's Stalin selected the first in the Kim line, and Mao supported him, setting in place a cult of personality, and that was after Japan had been defeated. It's not surprising that today both Moscow and Beijing have rulers leading cults of personality, and both those leaders seem to want a WW2 do-over, thinking this time they can be the big winners. Putin and Xi and maybe even Kim are so mad they must think WW3 can be won, and that their fallout shelters will keep them and their .001% safe. Anti-westerners if your idols 'win' WW3 you won't be around to gloat, nor will the 'others' you abhor. We will all be losers. It's doubtful nuclear winter will be just another season that transitions to spring, a season of regrowth.
