North Korea ballistic missile test fails: Report

[ABX]

They probably should stop buying stuff from Acme.

North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile on Saturday in local time, Korean news service Yonhap reported citing South Korea's military.

Yonhap reported that the test appears to have failed.

One U.S. official confirmed to NBC news that there was a test, but that it was not nuclear.

The incident comes as the United States reconsiders its strategy in dealing with the isolated nation.....

If I were writing this script, China, Russia and Iran will sit as bystanders, while the US showcases new weapons technology.

Electro-magnetic pulse (EMPS) from orbital platforms, etc..

It went 25 miles into the Sea of Japan.  This is a product of Trump's mouth raising the rhetoric over and over and having the Sec. of State do the same.  Trump will start a war; he wants to win a war to show/prove he is a winner.  North Korea said today they can sink the US air craft carrier with one missile to show their military power.  When Trump says there may be a "major, major conflict with North Korea", North Korea is listening and preparing more. Trump needs to shut up but he won't.

Could this be in reaction to T-Rex's speech today at the UN?

No - this is a product of failure since 1950.  Most notably, it's a product of The Agreed Framework, which was an utter disaster.  Had Iraq not gone so badly, Bush 43 may have had the political capital to deal with them at the time they were properly identified as an Axis of Evil member.  You can  only kick the can so far down the road.
