North Korea Planning To Launch Test Rocket

For the past few months the United States has been a monitoring a potential test rocket launch by North Korea, a country which has been striving to obtain nuclear abilities for some time. While the North Koreans claim that the test rocket is being mistaken for a ********* by U.S. intelligence, aerial photos show otherwise.

The long range test rocket could have the potential to reach U.S. soil and threaten sovereign nations in the region.

A test launch would also go against the U.N. security council resolution, adopted in 2006, which explicitly prohibits the nation from launching certain types of missiles.

North Korea has launched the rocket despite warnings from the U.S. & other nations.

hmm thats interesting. I'll have to google this.

They already launched it, the U.S. warned it was a move in the wrong direction for North Korea.

Interesting this topic, I saw a documentary about North Korea a while back. And it just makes me sad that a country that cant afford to invest in food for their own people now is doing this. Makes no sence to me.

Interesting, really... but... hmmm... What happened now? Any update? i'll search for it!!!:ro_emote:

It is sad, the average North Korean is also much smaller, 3 inches shorter, than the average South Korean, the affects of malnutrition are evident.

very interesting.. I'll search this on google and read the whole article about this. thanks for posting.

is North Korea a communist country? why did the president permit this? I think we could consider this country as a threat..

Well, let's say he's just the North Korea's Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, and General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (the ruling party since 1948). He succeeded his father Kim Il-sung, founder of North Korea, who died in 1994, and commands the fifth largest standing army in the world. I think we could consider this country as a threat --- Do I need to say more?..
