The nuke sniffers have been in the air since all this kicked up.
Listened to a British journalist the other day who has lived in Seoul since '82. One of the things that struck me was that he said many South Koreans really don't want to fight, i.e. kill the North Koreans because they are brothers. One of the reasons why we've been their in force since the armistice was signed.
Another thing I see a lot is people here in the West underestimate them. Seoul has just under 26 million people living there not to mention something like 30k US personnel. It is the North's primary target if anything goes down and it is only 35 miles from the DMZ.
Major Ed Dames who has a storied 30+ year career in the IC also brought up a point in a recent interview that most over look. He stated that North Korea is nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan. He said they are hard line fanatics on a whole other level, we haven't fought anything like that since Imperial Japan where every last man, woman, and child would have fought to the death for their emperor.
I watched a NatGeo documentary from a few years back where they smuggled their crew in with an eye surgeon from Nepal. Their guise was that they were a film crew documenting the humanitarian work. HOLY ****, those people are completely brainwashed. No doubt they would all die for their Dear Leader.
Worth the 45 minutes, probably the best documentary I've seen on the North. Incredibly sad, especially when they compare the body weights and heights of 7 year old boys in the South to 7 year old boys in the North, hit me right in the feels for real.

20cm shorter and 10kg lighter than his brother in South Korea.
No wonder we have a 6'3" requirement in the DMZ

It's like your neighbor has a crazy pitbull puppy that can jump fences. The one neighbor has a 4ft fence, the other has a 5ft fence and you have an 8ft fence. The dog can jump the 5 ft fence if it wants to, but can't make the 8ft, yet- it is growing, and getting crazier. Your neighbors tell you to keep quite and not provoke the dogs owner by either putting an extension on the fence or calling animal control and culling the dog. But your kids play in the back yard, and the dog barks and threatens to jump over the fence. Are you going to wait until the dog can jump over your fence?
I saw that SK was pissed that Trump mentioned that the THAAD cost $1B. Could we at least get a deposit on it?

It's that simple.

Another test and another exploded missile. Are they that bad or do we have a shark with a laser?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one
As much as we would like China to get involved with the NORK's, why don't we explain to SOK's that this isn't 1952 and we want some money on our investment back?
They're forgetting their history and have on occasion allowed their kids to bite the hand that freed them.
That and my Step-Dad wants his frozen off toes back, they're somewhere North of the Yalu River, call us when you retrieve them please...

The Chinese better make a more visible effort toward reigning their puppet in before he gets things spinning out of control. The only thing worse than several hundred million Norks glowing as they starve is them glowing, starving and heading North toward China.

CNN claims it landed in Sea of Japan, didn't mention it being a failed test.
