North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward its eastern waters Wednesday, South Korea said, two days after the North threatened “shocking” consequences to protest what it called a provocative U.S. reconnaissance activity near its territory.

It must be the annual North Korea missile threat time again. It's usually around the old dictators birthday.

I'm just struck by the fact that NK never seems to experience "threats" from any other country to justify its display of arsenal. Like, France or Germany are never targeted, not even really Japan. This is clearly due to NK's alignment with Russia, but even so.

I was glad to read in this article a few insights from professors who teach NK studies who were able to point to patterns of when NK performs these launches. That was illuminating.
