Later on CNN: North Korean military parade not only showed a larger ICBM, but also a new submarine launch missile. No idea if they are just for show or if they have the mechanics all worked out.

(36,412 posts)The attempted launch occurred a day after the regime of Kim Jong Un showed off a bevy of new missiles and launchers at its annual military parade.
CNN's Will Ripley in Pyongyang, North Korea, reported there was no immediate confirmation from North Korean state media about the launch.
North Korea's actions come as tensions on the Korean Peninsula have spiked to alarming levels.
The US Navy dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson strike group to the region last weekend, and US President Donald Trump has been tweeting this week that if China can't rein in North Korea's nuclear program, the United States will.

We shouldn't even worry until he takes out Seattle or SF.

He is not on psychiatric drugs that can give him a atrong baseline.
He has to have a way to release some pressure. Clear his head. So he can implement the advice given to him from the last person he talked to (I hope Ivanka rather than Miller or Bannon) better and not blow up the world. I am only half sarcastic. Plus, on the whole, he'll get less done. And that is good for everybody. In fact I hope he plays golf two days a week.
