North Korea fires missiles into sea near Japan ahead of US elections


Just in time for the US presidential and Congressional elections, North Korea fired a short shrift of missiles Tuesday. Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani counted at least 7 missiles landing around 250 miles between the Korean Peninsula and Japan flying at an altitude of 60 miles, AP reported.

“North Korea’s actions, including a series of repeated missile launches, threaten the peace and safety of Japan, the region and the international community,” Nakatani said. South Korea also noted the missiles and elevated its defense posture as the armaments could be used to attack key facilities in South Korea, including U.S. military personnel stationed there.

North Korea has recently unveiled its new intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the United States coast, provoking an American flight of a B-1B bomber over Japan and South Korea Sunday that outraged North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong, who accused the US and South Korea of “aggressive and adventuristic military threats.”

South Korea has already said it expects the US election to provide an opportunity for it to display its military prowess, even as South Korean intelligence confirmed that North Korea is prepared for its seventh nuclear test that could reduce economic sanctions from the US if former President Donald Trump is reelected and continues to deescalate tension around the world.

North Korea claimed that the Hwasong-19 it tested on Oct. 31 was “the world’s strongest” ICBM, but experts say the weapon could only be used as a strategic weapon against the US and not tactically against North Korea’s immediate enemies.

North and South Korea remain high as Kim Jong Un feels confident with his successful nuclear weapon and missile programs, while contributing armaments and personnel to Russia’s war with Ukraine. reportedly providing Russia with munitions and troops to support President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. If they participate in the war, it would be the first time North Korea has waged war since 1953, with the armistice of its war with South Korea.

Dave Smith: Will Trump Be Able To End The War In Ukraine?

Dave Smith: Will Trump Be Able To End The War In Ukraine?

At a recent pre-election speaking and podcast event, comedian and Libertarian political commentator Dave Smith expressed his view that it is very realistic that the next President Donald Trump could successfully negotiate an end to the Ukraine war

Smith’s view is optimistic, as he articulated that he believes Trump’s expressed desire to end wars in Ukraine and Gaza is genuine. But Smith also laid out that much depends on who Trump puts around him in top national security positions. Below is the hard-hitting segment featuring the prominent commentator addressing the question: will Trump be able to end the war in Ukraine?

Below are Dave Smith’s words from the segment on Trump and Ukraine below [emphasis ZH]…

“Why the hell are we even expanding our military alliance to Ukraine? And listen, Donald Trump always says that the war ‘never would have happened if I was president, and I would negotiate an end to this.’

And I gotta say I think he’s right about that. I don’t think the war would have happened if he was president – I think he will negotiate an end to it.

I don’t think he’s right that Hamas wouldn’t have attacked Israel if he was president – that seems kind of ridiculous to me. But he’s right: the Ukraine war could be over tomorrow if American wanted to negotiated a peace to it.

Vladimir Putin has been trying to the entire time… 

Well the question becomes who does Donald Trump put around him? If Donald Trump puts Mike Pompeo, aka Liz Cheney’s pick for Defense Secretary… if he puts John Bolton, aka Hillary Clinton’s pick for national security adviser – then maybe not, maybe it doesn’t happen.

But if he listens to Tucker Carlson, and ‘Bobby’ Kennedy, and Vivek Ramaswamy, and all the smart people around him – then yes, he could negotiate an end to that war.”

Indeed, the question ultimately becomes: will Trump really keep the ‘swamp’ out of his administration this time around? We hope so.
