So the Norks launched some more missiles in a challenge to South Korea and the rest of the rational world, and Trump went straight to his twitter account to react.
North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea…..

“Does this guy have anything better to do with his life”? It’s like we’re in a horrible unfunny episode of Seinfeld.
….and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!

Wasn’t “this guy” Trump the one who said he was giving up on China and that they had done all they could do, even after he made trade concessions in order to secure peace in the Korean Peninsula?
Now he’s going back to China? Amazing.
Here’s more on the launch that went out in the last hour or so:
North Korea on Tuesday launched yet another ballistic missile in the direction of Japan, South Korean officials said, part of a string of recent test-firings as the North works to build a nuclear-tipped missile that could reach the United States.
The South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the launch, which came before the U.S. celebration of its national independence, was made from North Phyongan province. Other details were scarce. It wasn’t immediately clear if this was a routine firing of a short-range missile or an attempt to perfect North Korea’s longer-range missiles.
Er.. maybe it was a Fourth of July fireworks display?
