"North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles early Wednesday morning, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. The missile launch was the second in a week, after Pyongyang also fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan last Thursday...Although a ballistic missile test is a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions and the missiles are designed to threaten South Korea, President Trump played down the significance of last week’s test, saying many countries test short-range missiles...
"North Korea said last week’s launch was a direct response to planned U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and the South’s deployment of what it called “ultramodern offensive weapons,” almost certainly a reference to its import of U.S. F-35A stealth fighters...North Korea has also threatened to pull out of denuclearization talks with the United States if the military exercises go ahead, claiming that they would break a promise made by Trump to Kim Jong Un when the two leaders met at the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas at the end of June. The launches have helped dampen any optimism that might have arisen out of that meeting, and they underlined the challenges ahead." link
Poor Donald Trump. He so wants to match Obama's Nobel Peace Prize that for two years he's made a fool of himself kow-towing to the murderous Kim Jong-un. Three meetings, "love" letters, fawning, and what's he got to show for it? Nada. Or as Kim would put it: 아무것도. This is what happens when you send a boy to do a woman's job.
