The DMZ: A thread about North Korea

[elliseamos]

North Korea reportedly test-fired at least one ballistic missile into the sea off the country’s east coast just five days before South Korean voters are set to elect a new president, according to Reuters. The launch marked the rogue nation’s ninth missile launch of 2022, and was fired from a location near Pyongyang’s Sunan International Airport, the news service reported, citing South Korean military sources. “This launch comes at a time when international society is dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and also when the Beijing Paralympics is being held... and it is not acceptable,” Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said. “The significant pace at which North Korea is developing its missile-launching technology is not something our country and the surrounding regions can overlook.”

I belive this was to further establish their ability to launch ballistic missiles in a lofted trajectory that degrades the ability of the extant ABM systems in South Korea to intercept. Why you couldn't tilt that AESA radar back 30 degrees is not clear to me.

US authorities this week tied North Korean hackers to the historic $625 million Axie Infinity crypto swindle...

On Thursday, the US Treasury Department added an Ethereum wallet address to its sanction list after the wallet facilitated transfers for more than $86 million of the stolen funds.

Why are we not freaking out more about rotating North Korean troops coming in to Russia to fight for them?

[wease]

Because Trump is gonna end the war in one day. What’s the point?

Why are we not freaking out more about rotating North Korean troops coming in to Russia to fight for them?

Do they even have guns and ammo?

Maybe we're hoping like in the Spanish Civil War, this foreign contingent will learn all the wrong lessons and be worse off for it.
