So far, there is a lack of source material for this, but plenty of tweets have been popping up stating that North Korea has fired a long-range missile at 07:39 (local time). It could be nothing, but it could also be what we were dreading all along, that with a new leader comes the responsibility of having to prove yourself.

Sorry for lack of news, but nothing has come in as of yet.


E: So the news is, the rocket broke up shortly after it was fired. But still, what do you lot make of this?

It has apparently 'crashed' into the sea.

The US thinks it a cover for testing a nuclear missile or something like that, but I don't believe that's the case.

Donald Gregg, the former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea has said that this rocket launch is just a way of Kim Jong Un asserting his power.

I'm thinking since he's new, he wants to some-what "put on a show" or try and gain respect by doing something like this.

I would love to hear kim say "long range missile"

It'll be a bigger deal if they go ahead with their underground nuclear (see: a string of firecrackers) test.

It was apparently launched as a salute to longevity for Lil Kim. They were supposed to do another on Sunday or something as a celebration of the "Eternal Leader" becoming 100 years old. I guess they're just gonna have to deal with reality eventually.

That's the 2nd step in Homefront, isn't it?

Yeah I don't think it was an act of aggression. When it all went pear shaped they were quite open about it, apparently admitting it on North Korean television. I think they still broke the rules by carrying this out though. I don't think anything will come of it.

I was looking in on the event. And the thing that is bothering me is "What was the rockets target"?

[ThePinkFloydSound]

Kim flexing his muscles, eh?

Wouldn't expect anything more from a missile essentially assembled together with duck tape.

The Koreans are cheap, but not that cheap, they used gaffer tape man.

You tried that before, it didn't work out too well.

I heard it was made from bamboo and filled with potpourri and dirty underwear.

There is absolutely no way this plan can fail.
