This isn't good. Not good at all and I'm thinking with this revelation we're going in with a preemptive strike. This is pretty much a "below the red line" scenario and is a game changer.
Hold on tight folks, this is going to be crazy. I think a lot more countries are about to get involved with now. They were speculating on BBC that we may very well see a very large buildup from many countries very quickly which involves several EU countries.

North Korea put its adversaries on notice Saturday, when it showed off a bevy of new missiles and launchers at its annual military parade.
Pyongyang showed off two new intercontinental ballistic missile-sized canisters as well as displaying its submarine-launched ballistic missile and a land-based version of the same for the first time, according to analysts.
If North Korea has ICBMs, it could give it the ability to strike targets in the mainland US and Europe. The shorter range ballistic missiles displayed Saturday, meanwhile, are a threat to countries in the Asian region. North Korea's display comes as tensions on the Korean Peninsula have spiked to alarming levels.
The US Navy dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson strike group to the region last weekend, and US President Donald Trump has been tweeting this week that if China can't rein in North Korea's nuclear program the US will.
"The Vinson was sent out to make a statement. North Korea responded by showing off the most new missile hardware we've ever seen in a parade before," said Melissa Hanham, senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California.
One of the biggest surprises of Saturday's military parade in Pyongyang was two mobile canisters that could contain ICBMs larger than anything North Korea has ever produced.

As a golfer, my favorite story was when dad got 5 holes in one on his first ever round of golf. He shot a 34.

Sorry... its time to let them know we are not ignoring this anymore.
They have to know this will not go unanswered.
Well, we may go thru the usual NK "EXTORTION" routine.
