Child dictator Kim Jong-un

Reports indicate that North Korea's Intelligence Agency is becoming
concerned about the child dictator's weight gain, which has grown from
198 pounds in 2012 to 286. Reports indicate that Kim Jong-un is
consuming high-quality cheeses, Big Macs, vodka, steak, and sushi, and
that he's suffering from gout, diabetes, high blood pressure, high
uric acid, and high cholesterol.

Another South Korean report indicates that North Korean state
television showed Kim Jong-un falling asleep at a meeting, apparently
because he had been drunk the night before. There are widespread
rumors in North Korea that Kim enjoys boozing until late into the
night.

On Wednesday morning, North Korea launched two ballistic missiles.
One missile exploded after launch. A second missile traveled 621 miles
and landed in the Sea of Japan, 155 miles from Japan's Oga Peninsula,
and was on a straight line to strike a Japanese radar station in
Shariki. The latest tests show that North Korea is capable of
targeting many of South Korea's areas including harbors and airfields
with nuclear missiles.

Going back to the beginning of this year, North Korea made its fourth
nuclear bomb test on January 6, followed by a long-range missile test
on February 7.

These tests were the triggers that convinced South Korea's government,
after years of equivocation, to finally approve the deployment of the
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea by the end
of the year. ( "28-Jul-16 World View -- China, Japan vociferously object to South Korea's THAAD missile system deployment"
)

North Korea vowed that it would have a "physical response" response to
the THAAD announcement. So there was a missile launch on July 7, a
submarine-launched missile test on July 8, though they couldn't have
been in reaction to the THAAD announcement, which came on July 8.
There was another missile test on July 19. Wednesday's test was the
first to come close to actually threatening a target on Japanese soil.
North Korea has also issued sharp denunciations of the United States
decision to list North Korea's child dictator Kim Jong-un under new
sanctions.

However, some analysts are saying that the missile tests are more than
just for show, and are more than just a reaction to the THAAD
announcement. The missile tests really ARE missile tests, in the
process of North Korea's development of new missile technology, which
appears to be improving with time.

North Korea issued a new statement on Wednesday reacting to THAAD: "If
the monster known as THAAD comes to coil itself in the South's
territory, [the land] will transform itself into a nuclear arms race
arena that brings in neighboring powers."

According to Chinese state media:

> [indent]<QUOTE>"The launch, already the third missile fired by the
> DPRK [North Korea] after Washington and Seoul announced their
> decision on July 8 to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
> (THAAD) missile shield in South Korea, could easily be interpreted

>
> It also serves a reminder to policymakers in Seoul that by

> the horse in their pursuit of national security, as the key to
> security lies in good neighborly and friendly relations with its
> neighbors, rather than a bunch of U.S.-made
> missiles."<END QUOTE>
[/indent]

However, that analysis doesn't make sense, as there were missile tests
before the THAAD announcement. It's pretty clear that North Korea is
going to continue with development of nuclear weapon and missile
technology, irrespective anything that South Korea does. Dong-a Ilbo (Seoul) and The Diplomat and UPI and Xinhua
