Skipping through yesterdays military parade. The goose-stepping is so enthused it looks painful. And kim looks totally bored. It really is bizarre.

NK - a world leader in Potempkin Village mock ups. A capitalist like me could use those skills and slave labour to make a lot of foreign currency in Expos , themed partys and theme parks around the world. Kim , if you see this I'm the hero you need.

Can you people not see? This was orchestrated by the fat one. He is scared sh1tless of Trump.

Thank God for Trump. He actually has the balls to do what he says he will do, instead of constantly playing political chess. That MOAB he detonated last week was a direct message to ANYONE who hates America, that he will not tolerate their threats, nevermind their violence, any longer. Even Putin was all pally with him at the start, and now China, the only army in the world capable of beating the US, are breaking their silence and caling for peace.

What happened here is Kim blinked first. He knows Trump is the real deal. If he went ahead and tested that missile on Saturday, he knew he would not be alive on Sunday. Therefore, he didnt test it on Saturday. BUT, he cant be seen to NOT test it at all, so he did it there now, and IMO purposely made it fail. THat way, yes he tested the missile and gave 2 fingers to America and still looks like a brave leader to his people, but it was not enough of a provocation to bring American firepower to bear. Win/win for Kim, Trump, China, and humankind as a whole.

Congratulations, you just wasted 5 mins of your life writing the above. Surely, this is satire.

No hope a US drone could have tottered overhead and slammed one eensy hellfire down on the podium, solving a few issues all at the once? Apart from a few old ex-soviet tanks spewing smoke and some outdated tracked rocket-launchers, the legions of goose-steppers look to be his only asset.

Speaking of which, are there not sanctions against selling stuff to NK? Naughty Mercedes benz so?

Maybe it's left over stock they made for the Nazis.

The anthem is equally comedy gold.
It's a take on "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" right?

Are North Korea actually a threat. I'm not being silly here because I don't really know an awful lot about them but I always get the impression that if they were to set off a nuclear missile it would fail and blow us on themselves or something. That's if they even have those missiles?

Feck up a step in that parade and it's 20 years hard labour for you and your family...

Also pretty sure a fleet of warships still sailing that direction.

They have carried out nuclear tests but have no nuclear weapons yet. They will never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

No they have nuclear weapons just they don't have the capability to mount a nuclear weapon to a warhead

Do they have the capability to drop one from a plane? I'm not sure they could even achieve that.

No bombers I'm aware of they have an aging fleet of former Soviet Aircraft from mig15s to the mig 29s and a handful of transports , which in theory could be used to drop a nuclear weapon off a crate

The whole collection looks like a small excerpt from Janes Military machines 1982. I'd say the fuel bill for that drive-past alone took a chunk out of their national coffers you could drive a T34 through.

USA/RUSSIA held the world to ransom for decades, you're probably too young to remember so maybe you should Google the cold war and the nuclear arms race and spend the rest of the weekend educating yourself on that

I'm not young and I do recall. This isn't the same as that was the prospect of global thermonuclear war. This is isolated .

How could they caim ANY missile launch ad an attack on the US? Where do you think should be nuked?

I'm sure the U.S. have ideas about where weeks be appropriate targets in NK. They also have form for this having dropped the A bomb.

NK had been firing missiles in the direction of the U.S. in an attempt to imperative the technology to the point of reaching the U.S. coast. It's a clear pattern, and I'd say that Kimmy will be happy if he succeeded even if it meant he would have to live in his fallout shelter.

Looks just like the boosters on the Thunderbird missile.

Every time I see Kim he always looks drunk. Always swaying and sporting a wide "loving life" grin.

K.Flyer

For some reason whenever I think of N.K. I always think of the movie "The Truman Show".
If or when their great fraud of a leader is toppled and their population get to see the real world, I wonder how they will react when they realise all the B.S. they have been fed by their Almighty One all these years.

I was half kind of expecting a MOAB to be drooped on Kim Jong's Parade at the weekend.
Surely that would have been the time to take out Kim-jong-un and his whole regime + the military hardware/missiles + the army + his followers + everything connected to him!

...but they didn't.

They are a threat to South Korea. They have their real weapons in hardened bunkers in the mountains ready to rain down shells on Seoul if anyone tries to attack them.

The problem isn't that they're a threat currently. It's that they insist on continuing nuclear tests which will eventually make them a huge threat. If Kim il dumbass just gave up on his nuclear ambitions, then the rest of the world would just ignore NK indefinitely.

We hear similar claims each year and every year NK pull back, while at the same time inching forward.

NK have probably just moved another inch or so, what are out gonna do about it US?
