North Korea launched a new short-range ballistic missile, similar to a Scud, on Monday morning, and it flew about 280 miles to land inside Japans exclusive economic zone.
This launch is North Koreas third in three weeks and its 12th this year, underscoring Kim Jong Uns determination to advance his regimes technical capabilities and his continued defiance of the international community.
The firing of the ballistic missile of this time is extremely problematic in terms of safety of aircraft and ships, Yoshihide Suga, Japans chief cabinet secretary, told reporters in an emergency news conference. It also clearly violates resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, returning from a Group of Seven meeting in Italy, said that Japan will work with the United States to deter North Korea. The White House said President Trump had been briefed on the latest missile launch, which coincided with the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the United States.

(18,124 posts)to giving the slime running this country a reason to go to OPEN war against the madman in n. korea and causing the ultimate spreading of that war and eventually all Constitutional rights of american citizens, because of 'danger and terror levels', will be abrogated and the KKK slime WILL try to become kings for life both in Congress and the WH.
I have no doubts about this postulation unless sane, rational and truly realistic individuals in our government, for now, step up and call this slime running our country what they are, racist fascist and show the real danger they pose to the world and us instead of trying to 'save face', 'be civil' in the eyes of the world by showing that everything is okay even with the river of putrid slime running down the driveway of the WH and soiling the fabric of our still diverse nation.
The media loves the profit they are gaining so they won't get real either. Hell they are responsible in a large way of creating this monster who would be potus. Our only hope there is Joy, Rachel, O'donnell?, Olbermann, Noah, Stewart..John, Colbert, Maher sometimes, et al....
I hope the danger is realized by the majority who voted for a sane, rational HRC. That's all I can hope for.
