Testing problem or testing times?

North Korea Fires Seventh Missile

World furore? Above is one link to the news that's everywhere, although it all seems a bit like a smokescreen. We know North Korea had nukes. We know they had missiles. I'd rather they tested the missiles before arming them than they held back and sat on an unproven arsenal which might be prone to accidents. One doubts such a small power would ever use them except in defense or retaliation. The fact that Amerika is now claiming the excerise was a failure sounds like posturing - did they really think an experimental firing was going to travel all the way to Alaska or California and trigger a "real" crisis?

Why no such fuss about Israel's illegal arsenal? Given their recent behaviour, the Zionists seem far more likely to pursue a policy of devastation where their enemies are concerned. Nuclear technology cannot be uninvented. Only nuclear disarmament can reduce the threat of its use and it is the bigwigs like Britain and Amerika that need to set the example. That they are currently building more "second-generation" weapons at huge cost despite so-called non-proliferation treaties is an act of blatent hypocrisy. It is no good thing, but no surprise either, that the other nuclear powers want to remind us that they remain players on the stage of lunatic posturing.

Later.

Later.
