There’s one way to keep your country from being regime changed by the U.S. or anyone else. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
North Korea announced that it had successfully carried out a test of a hypersonic missile on Sunday – coming within 24 hours following the Trump-ordered US military raid on Caracas to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
According to a statement released by North Korean state media, “A sub-unit under a major firing strike group of the Korean People’s Army conducted a missile launching drill on January 4.” The timing is unmistakably meant as a signal and warning to Washington, and to America’s staunchest allies in the region.
The statement continued, “The drill was conducted as part of the operational evaluation of the sustainability, effectiveness, and operation of the DPRK’s war deterrent while evaluating the readiness of the hypersonic weapon system, verifying and confirming its capability for fulfilling mission and developing the missile soldiers’ firing capability.”
Pyongyang framed it as a nuclear preparedness test, though thankfully there was no actual live test of a nuclear warhead, which hasn’t happened in some time.
The missile test was overseen by Kim Jong-un, who said, “To be honest, our such activity is clearly aimed at gradually putting the nuclear war deterrent on a highly developed basis.”
The Norks have hypersonic?! When will we have hypersonic and High Speed Rail?
