what are we to make of this?

It seems the US is not the only country setting off fireworks today. In an act of defiance on Independence Day, North Korea fired seven ballistic missiles off its eastern coast on Saturday, South Korean officials have announced. The launch, which came two days after the test-firing of four short-range missiles into the sea earlier this week, is a direct violation of UN sanctions. While a South Korean news service reported that the missiles fired were Scuds, government sources in Japan and South Korea say that they are Nodong missiles. Tensions are building in Japan, where officials said the launch was a "serious act of provocation against the security of neighboring countries."

Why do they have to do this shit on our Independence Day?

Wow 7 ballistic missiles. If that isn't provoking, I don't know what is.

NK has a sharp pointy stick and they are poking at us with it. They don't realize you should not poke hungry tigers when the cage is open.

I mean really I s'pose its not all that alarming or new ..... this tactic has been in play for centuries. But with as has been put, the foundation of modern society showing some serious cracks, voids being left in global power circles, uncertainty in strength of currencies, and foci of global power diminishing ..... certainly makes one wonder what some of the next moves will be. Walking On !!!~~~

That was all the missiles they had and it took them a year to build them. We need to really worry next year.

hahahahaha .... good one ! can't vouch for the accuracy ... but got me laughing ....

Oh...this RIU it does not need to be accurate.

stupid north korea needs to stop fucking around before we nuke them Hiroshima style. i dont know why kim jong il is trying to act so tough, when all he has is NO DONG missiles. i dont think it meant anything that the missiles were launched on the 4th of july because they dont celibate on the 4th and are not independent or free. is it supposed to wory us that there messing around with plutonium and ballistic missiles? do the koreans even have a problem with anybody (except the un) right now? who are they trying to arm themselves against? there brothers to the south?

i also want to know why we needed south korea and japan to tell us about there missile test, where were our 25 million dollar satellites when this was going on

the joke ..... accurate ...... yea ..... ok .....ok ..... so ...... uuhhmmmmmm ..... yea .... welll....just pass the bong ok ...thnks.

here you go man *passes the bong* i dont fear korea or what there trying to pull here, i know were just waiting for an excuse to waste them. its like when a drunk at a bar lets someone throw the first punch so he cant be in trouble with anyone

thats a nuke? the one we dropped i think. it says 1952 in the corner so...

hahahaha ... yea totally ... I think I know what u mean .... I ain't truthfully concerned ....really .... though I suppose ....anything can happen ..... I just like the bong ..... its a friend .... and I appreciate a blast from your all the more .... many thanks my friend! Walk on@@!!~~~~~

Yea it's best if we just not worry about it. Not much we can do if they start lobbing shit over here right?

On the bright side, if NK or Iran launches ballistic missiles at the US, you got 33 minutes to get the hell out of the city that's going to be hit, apparently.

Check this out. They're making a goddamn documentary to scare the shit out of people.

yea ... there's some crazy sh*t out there ... and I suspect that we hardly know barely a sliver. Precisely why i have strong interest in relocating out of the urban centers ..... and more to .... like .... the middle of nowhere .... I want a cabin on the top of a mountain .... my favorite place in the world ....

The president needs to make it loud and clear that America will not put up with north korea's actions. They didnt do this shit when bush was president!

It's more a matter of providing references, links, or something else to back up your statements, unless they are nothing more than your opinion. In which case the lack of references kind of proves that...

You now have a President that doesn't know his ass from a hole in a ground and certainly doesn't know how the world works in politics. He is solely a puppet of the machine that got him elected. His only concern now is how to tighten the grip around the freedoms that many of us have fought and died for. Hear all the nothing we can do crap coming out of the country, for all of you that think this you have a rude awaking coming soon. You are going to wake up to more terror attacks, less freedom, more taxes and less avenues available to voice your dissent. I served my country proudly and I have now left my country proudly while I still could. I live in Costa Rica and I watch the TV and read the papers with great interest seeing the country slip through the fingers of all those that sit and think there is nothing that can be done. You need to read history and you need to voice your opinions the assholes in office today. The government still will listen but time is quickly running out that you still have a voice. Either get involved or move your assets out of the country....the time is coming you won't be able to.

Well said, they are assuredly testing this administration, and the UN resolve.

Well actually they did do it during Bush tenure, just not as bad as this.

Many tests have been conducted, thats what that most likely is.
