North Korea attempts missle test

What does that mean? I can't fairly criticize this country when we do wrong and hold it to higher standards?

I just find that you've only been critical of the US while never being critical of a country that is invading another while committing war crimes. In fact you've openly supported them.

Forgive us for not seeing through to your lofty standard of morals and ethics being delivered equally.

You're full of sh*t Ras.
 
'Brilliant' CalTech graduate-turned-hacker, 39, who invented WikiScanner is sentenced to five years and fined $100,00 for traveling to Pyongyang to teach North Koreans how to hack

A 'brilliant' CalTech graduate-turned-hacker and cryptocurrency guru has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for helping North Korea evade US sanctions.

Virgil Griffith, 39, taught more than 100 people how to use blockchain technology to get around international restrictions at a crypto conference in Pyongyang three years ago.

Many of the businesses and people he trained are thought to have worked for the North Korean government. Griffith, from Birmingham, Alabama, advised them how to gain independence from the international banking system.

The CalTech graduate, who is the mastermind behind the Wikipedia tool WikiScanner, was sentenced to 63 months in prison and a $100,000 fine on Tuesday in Manhattan.

His sentencing on Tuesday comes after Griffith pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The law prohibits U.S. citizens from exporting goods, services or technology to sanctioned countries, including North Korea.

North Korea Threatens to Down American Planes over U.S. Submarine Docked in South

Communist North Korea threatened on Monday to shoot down U.S. Air Force planes in response to the docking of a nuclear-capable submarine in South Korea, the result of an agreement between leftist American President Joe Biden and his South Korean counterpart, Yoon Suk-yeol, in April.

Seoul and Washington confirmed the arrival of the USS Michigan, a nuclear-powered submarine, to the southern port city of Busan on June 15, an agreement that formed part of the Washington Declaration, a document published by both governments during Yoon’s visit to the American capital in April. The submarine’s presence was a form of deployment unseen since the 1980s and apparently an American response to growing anxiety about North Korea’s illicit nuclear program in South Korea, which has spawned high levels of support among citizens for Seoul to develop its own nuclear weapons independent of America.

What is the response should North Korea down an American plane? I mean Iran and Russia have downed drones during Trump and Biden, but we would be talking American lives at risk.
 
What is the response should North Korea down an American plane?
The response is normally nothing.

Under Eisenhower:
1960 U-2 incident - Wikipedia

Under LBJ:
USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia

USS Pueblo (AGER-2) - Wikipedia

Under Nixon:
1969 EC-121 shootdown incident - Wikipedia

Under Reagan:
HELICOPTER DOWNED IN NORTH KOREA WAS 10 MILES OFF COURSE, U.S. SAYS

Rep. McDonald dies when Soviets shoot down Boeing 747, Sept. 1, 1983

Iran Air Flight 655 - Wikipedia

Under Putin:
2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown - Wikipedia

I mean Iran and Russia have downed drones during Trump and Biden, but we would be talking American lives at risk.
As I have shown above various leaders at different times did not retaliate when people were killed or captured. Why would we be obligated to attack over unmanned drones?

North Korea Ramps Up Rhetoric Ahead of U.S. Nuclear Submarine Visit

In two separate statements issued later on Monday and early on Tuesday, Kim Yo-jong, the sister and spokeswoman for North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, also said that American reconnaissance planes committed “a grave encroachment upon the sovereignty and security” of her country by flying over its 200-nautical mile economic water zone.

Ms. Kim warned that a “shocking” or “critical” incident would occur if such illegal intrusions continued.

North Korea's Kim Yo Jong warns US against 'foolish act' that risks security

"The U.S. should stop its foolish act of provoking the DPRK even by imperilling its security," Kim said in a statement carried by KCNA. DPRK refers to the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

She criticised U.S. plans for a nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine to visit South Korea and said that such efforts to increase "extended deterrence" would only push Pyongyang further from the negotiating table.

Kim, a powerful ruling party official, also rejected U.S. calls for unconditional talks and said that Washington was wrong if it believed North Korea's disarmament was possible.

"It is a daydream for the U.S. to think that it can stop the advance of the DPRK and, furthermore, achieve irreversible disarmament through the interim suspension of joint military exercises, halt to the deployment of strategic assets and the reversible sanction relief," she said.

Their threats against the US are simply rhetoric, they can only inflict pain in South Korea. But we have an obligation to help the south.

You and I know those threats are so they can spin their threats as a sign of US weakness knowing we have no intention of escalating to meet their threats. They threaten, we respond with a show of force. They threaten that show of force. Rinse repeat.... Nothing more nothing less.

Well, they’re not going to mess with us for a reason. They’re also not going to mess with South Korea for the very same reason. South Korea can always ask us to leave, yet they haven’t. Our presence is worth it in some areas of the world.

N.Korea Launches More Cruise Missiles In 'Warning' Over US Nuclear-Armed Sub | ZeroHedge

As we highlighted this week, the Ohio-Class USS Kentucky docked in the South Korean port of Busan on Tuesday, marking the first time since 1981 that an American nuclear-armed submarine arrived in the country. It also marked the first time since the US withdrew its tactical nukes from South Korea in 1991 that US nuclear weapons were deployed to the Korean Peninsula.

Kim speaking truth to power...

"The US imperialists are getting more frantic than ever before in the joint naval military exercises with their vassal forces in the waters around [North Korea]," he said during a Tuesday address before naval officers. And on Wednesday it's being newly reported that—

Kim's heightened nuclear rhetoric is directly related to the new trilateral agreement between Tokyo, Seoul and Washington, inked this month at Camp David - which also assures further military drills.

In fresh statements, the North Korean leader referred to the trio as "gang bosses"...

The gang bosses of the US, Japan and the 'Republic of Korea' were closeted with each other, where they announced that they would conduct on a regular basis the tripartite joint military exercises under different codenames, and set about its implementation.

He then stated this increases the chances of nuclear war breaking out...

see this is how I know you are full of crap. You complain that we don't use diplomacy. Then you come on here in random threads and bemoan every single piece of diplomacy we enact.

and Kim Jung Il is full of crap. He is actively supporting Russia directly taking new territory.

as always Zero Hedge provides lots of rhetoric but very few facts. It makes several claims that are just flat out false. This is not the first triple navy war game the three nations have engaged in. This is not the first time those waters have been wargamed in. This is also not the first time in decades that a US nuclear vessel has docked in South Korea, its the first time in decades that a nuclear sub has docked at this specific dock. Our carrier the Nimitz docked at this same port back in April, and he brought all of his friends too. The Kentucky (the submarine that is starting nuclear war) isn't even armed with nukes at this time. Granted this is a bit of inference on my part, but considering the docks its was last based out of in the US aren't the homes of our navy's nukes, I find it very hard to believe is currently has nukes on board. it is a NUCLEAR powered sub, but apparently that is too fine of a point for Zero Hedge readers or Kim Jung Il to understand. Does Zero Hedge do even the most basic of backgrounds? no of course not, they are pushing rhetoric like all the other crap media you hate, you only link these guys because its provides the BS you want to hear. I was able to do more reporting after 5 minutes of google than Zero Hedge was capable of putting together for this article.
