North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan Thursday, in its first provocation of the Biden White House.
The missiles fell into the waters that lie between North Korea and Japan, and avoided the latter's economic zone, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said in a statement.
Suga condemned Pyongyang's actions and said it "threatens the peace and security of Japan and the region." He noted that North Korea's actions violate U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Thursday's launch was the first ballistic missile test since March 2020, and Suga said officials need to be "more vigilant and watchful than ever before."

I almost wish we could ignore them. I know it's not possible, but they crave the attention.

And, dear leader is rattling the sabres again, to see if Biden will offer concessions.

A1C Michael Allen - everytime a new POTUS is elected, North Korea does something aggressive, but not actually provoking in order to see what the New POTUS will do. Most times it's been beneficial to North Korea, because it brings some concessions from us in order to bribe them to be nice.

North Koreanhas never conducted an atmospheric nuclear test. It’s supposed underground tests were .5kt, about a train load of convention explosives. It’s big testbwas a scam that didn’t reduce radiation. I do not see North Korea as a nuclear threat. We need to destroy their launch pads.
