| [Bus Insider] North Korea reportedly fired another missile, less than two weeks after its suspected hydrogen bomb test, South Korea's Yonhap News said on Friday morning local time. South Korean military officials reportedly said that the missile was fired near Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, and headed eastward. Emergency alerts in Japan were issued and an one account claims that it passed over Hokkaido at 7:06 a.m. local time and over to the Pacific Ocean. Japan did not attempt to shoot down the missile, NHK reported. A North Korea n state agency threatened on Thursday to use nuclear weapons to "sink" Japan and reduce the United States to "ashes and darkness" for supporting a UN Security Council resolution and sanctions over its latest nuclear test, Reuters reported. |

| #9 Small, reluctant, incremental steps, oftentimes sideways. Behold the Chinese 'long-game.' |

| #8 If China were tired of their BS, they'd stop watering down the sanctions. |

| #7 Chinese have to be made aware it's going to hurt them if this continues. Slapping a 100 percent tariff on computers imported from China would be a good start. Dunno if our leaders have the will for that. |

| #6 Well Gorb, you know what's said about wrestling pigs. The silence from us should tell them something, mostly that we're too busy to waste time talking... |

| #5 A few days back, I read that NORK was sitting on a pile of Bitcoins. The day before yesterday, I read that China, in keeping with UN Sanctionsâ„¢, had announced that its national bank would no longer deal in bitcoins. Yesterday, NORK launches another missile, something I would take as a genuine swipe at the face of the UN and, more importantly, China. China appears to have lost control over Li'l Kim, and I believe will not accept this latest evolution of their Loose Cannon. It's been fun to use NORK to troll the U.S., but crossing "Loss of Face" behavioral boundaries is not the Asiatic way. I anticipate a new NORK leader more to the liking of China in short order. Or, maybe not. |

| #3 Yes, a mobile transporter erector launcher (TEL) truck. Those are the ones imported from China due to the fact the NORKS do not have the technology to produce them. Intercontinental ballistic missiles on the other hand...... |

| #2 Could have been a mobile launcher. Hard to keep tabs on. |

| #1 This location was undetected until the launch. Pongyang is a ghost town as residents were ordered to evac in April. He is still winning the psychological warefare aspect of this situation. |
