NoKo Naughtiness

Juche!

DPRK - the Yankee part of the Koreas - putting the fun in dysfunctional since last millennium (1948 for those who collect such intell). More like a underground slave staffed  rocket factory with a nation state attached, NoKo got game! 

The North Korean ballistic missile launch of mid-April 2012 reiterated Pyongyang’s commitment to pursuing destabilizing military capabilities in defiance of Great Satan and the internat'l community. Even though the DPRK’s missile launch ultimately failed, policymakers should not dismiss North Korea's growing threat to America’s allies and interests in the region. According to news reports, allied officials have warned that North Korea has completed preparations to test yet another nuclear weapon, and may detonate it at any moment.
