North Korean ICBM Reaches New Record Altitude
It appears the North Korean ICBM has been modified to have even greater range now:
North Korea fired what could be a new intercontinental ballistic missile toward the sea east of the Korean Peninsula on Thursday, a day after South Korean defense intelligence authorities warned of Pyongyang preparing to stage large-scale provocations in the run-up to the US presidential election.
The missile flew for approximately 86 minutes, the longest time of any North Korean missile to date, traveling about 1,000 kilometers before falling into the waters between North Korea and Japan, according to South Korean and Japanese assessments. The missile was launched at a deliberately raised angle to reach a maximum altitude of 7,000 kilometers, a record height.
This ICBM is the first that North Korea launched since December last year, when it tested the solid-fueled Hwasong-18, which has a potential range of around 15,000 kilometers on a normal trajectory. The last ballistic missiles North Korea fired were multiple short-range ballistic missiles this September.

Sorry. That’s like posting their “L”s…
They’re selling teenagers and prisoners to Russia for cannon-fodder.
They can’t even feed their own elite soldiers properly.
And all they’d need to do is “declare victory” and allow the UN to “send tribute” (i.e., humanitarian aid).
But they won’t. They’d rather starve themselves to death.

“They’re selling teenagers and prisoners to Russia for cannon-fodder”
Every noun and verb in that sentence appears to be untrue based on rhe official story, life experience, and common sense.
Come on, CH, you haven’t been paying attention to “official stories” and what passes for “common sense” among people who advocated for the clot shots, have you?

There are multiple similar reports; but we’re limited to one URL per post here.
et cetera ad nauseum…
As to cannon-fodder, remember the terror attck on that elementary school in Beslan? Remember the first units wiped out in Ukraine were Chechen?
This whole thing is just Putin cleaning up loose ends.
It will be interesting to see what comes out of debriefing when and if the Ukrainians capture some. If any actual truth is leaked out.
Based on everything we know, and everything that makes sense, the biggest probability (if NK solders are even going to fight, which they should) is:
– The best of the best will be sent, and they will be sent with adequate equipment. Nobody involved wants them to look bad. Nobody involved wants them to fail.
– They will fight on Russian soil. There is a need for them to help repel the Ukranians currently occupying a sliver of Russian land so they can join the fight without the complictions of fighting on Ukrainian soil.
For those of you who study history, as in the history of 2 years ago, there was a time when Russia was sending teenagers fighting with shovels because they had no guns and the country would be out of artillary in months and Russian tanks would be in Berlin by Christmas, and lots of other doublethink nonsense.
The constantly changing narrative, that frequently requires you to believe two contradictory concepts simultaniously, should be the first clue that you are being manipulated by the home team. And you are being manipulated against your own best interests.
We see that ever-evolving self-contradicting narrative with so many things, from covid vaccine effectiveness to sea level rise to Joe Biden’s tack-like sharpness.
Eventually, you start to see the pattern and you can discuss it from the perspective of a rational adult, or you can’t… and you aren’t.
CH, I don’t believe the propaganda from either side. All I see is a place for arms merchants to toss confiscated tax dollars and enrich politicians. No one is really winning except China.
Remember: the so-called “elite” Norkistani soldier who defected 7 years ago through gunfire in Panmunjeom was horribly infested with worms.
I don’t believe there are actual “elites” in the Nork army, except the garrison around Kim Fatty III.
North Korea needs cash and Russia offered to supply it; but Kim is not going to reduce his bodyguard for Putin’s pocket change.
