🚨 NORTH KOREA JUST FIRED A BALLISTIC MISSILE INTO THE SEA OF JAPAN:
– Launched today from an inland region toward the east
– South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed the launch
– Japan’s Defense Ministry tracked the projectile
– Landed in the Sea of Japan outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone
– Third North Korean missile test this year
– This comes days after Kim Jong Un oversaw cruise missile tests from North Korea’s latest warship
– Kim recently ordered the “expansion and modernization” of missile production and construction of new weapons factories
– North Korea watched the US bomb Iran one day after Iran agreed to a nuclear deal. The message they received: giving up your weapons doesn’t protect you
– Kim Jong Un said nuclear deterrence is necessary due to “recent geopolitical crisis and complicated international events.” That’s him referencing the Iran war directly
– North Korea also watched the US snatch Venezuela’s president last month. Another regime the US decided to remove
– South Korea and the US are currently running joint military exercises through March 19. This launch is a direct provocation during those drills
The US is fighting a war in the Middle East, managing a closed Strait of Hormuz, dealing with oil around $100, and now North Korea is testing missiles.
The world is getting more unstable by the day.
