North Korea has defied international warnings and gone ahead with a controversial rocket launch.

 

The rocket blasted off from the Musudan-ri launch site in the north-east of the country at 0230 GMT.

 

North Korea said it was sending a satellite into orbit, but its neighbours suspect the launch was a cover for a long-range missile test.

 

They strongly condemned the launch. The US president told Pyongyang to "refrain from further provocative actions".

 

North Korea had "ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint, and further isolated itself from the community of nations", Barack Obama said in a written statement.

that's scary shit.

I watched 10 minutes of that video...Wow that's just sad. We'd be doing them a huge favor if we took out their government.

Someone should put a bullet in the head of that little goggle eyed twat.

WWIII anyone? :bigcry:

WWIII anyone? :bigcry:

 

Who would be dumb enough to step in front of us if we tried to assassinate him?

We're all doomed....................................... :stunned:

Hmm, China? Russia? Not that I think they really care about North Korea that much anyway, they haven't said much.

Well, all the missile test does is provide cover for a dictator - it's not about attacking S. Korea or anyone else really - it's all about trying to bluff so nobody can threaten the dictator of N. Korea, as it looks to me anyway. But yes, it's a tragic situation there - all those people, turned into robots for the head of state - really bizarre.
