👇 The US secretary of state drawing equivalence with his visits to defense facilities and Kim Jong Un’s on-the-spot guidance visits. You can’t make this up. https://t.co/EcvRFqmoGK

Pompeo has even lost Fox News on North Korea. https://t.co/TmUbtrSylw

So, they really have, Mr President. Congrats on contradicting yourself. Testing increasing sophisticated ballistic missiles that can now likely overcome your THAAD air defences in South Korea. Also, btw, North Korea won’t be denuclearising. https://t.co/qxMWIpZnZy

Playing catch up on the newly released North Korean images, but it appears these missiles were indeed the KN23. Given that, most of what I said in this thread from last night still stands, I think. https://t.co/0SMYhR53yV

Anyway, to make up for being late this evening, I brought high resolution pictures. Here are two for starters. 2 x (presumed) KN23 SRBMs from Wonsan on July 24.

Over the past year, there have been handshakes, compliments and photo-ops. Analysts who pore over satellite images of the isolated country paint a different picture: N. Korea has ramped up production of missiles and fissile material. @ClementBurge https:…

Iran? North Korea? I guess the real problem is with Sweden. https://t.co/aBMEZH7hYD

#Japan-#SouthKorea spat to get worse: “Japan will decide on Aug. 2 to remove South Korea from its list of countries that enjoy preferential treatment and buy products that can be diverted for military use” https://t.co/bvRH7pRqPI

KN-23 looks like it was manoeuvring in-flight, as KCNA description & earlier analysis suggested it could, very interesting. https://t.co/VLh6xuWbS6

Trump's first response, on Fox News, to North Korea's ballistic missile test:

@ArmsControlWonk @adam_measures @Joshua_Pollack @mhanham @DaveSchmerler @RocketSchiller @ISNJH @grace_c_liu In case you don’t see it: #NorthKorea wants us to know this is a quasi-ballistic missile. (The release ranges/apogees already tell us that, but this…
