Sigh... here we go again. https://t.co/TujSL2hRQV

I guess the pictures weren’t that great. https://t.co/VOqIruOJKX

Note: In 2016, the final Musudan launch took place right before the 3rd presidential debate. This time, we’re getting a North Korean launch event right before the #DemocraticDebate. Kim Jong Un would like to hear from the Dems on their NK policy tonight.

This is apparently what Kim meant by “working level talks”: listen to his missiles. https://t.co/ZYGyMwHJGJ

#UPDATE: Multiple launches detected from the Hodo-Bando peninsula on North Korea’s east coast.

My response, verbatim, when @ArmsControlWonk informed me of this: "Again?! What the hell are they doing?" https://t.co/ZkXntIUruH

I wrote yesterday: "Without a clear agreement to restrict nuclear and missile tests, North Korea is almost certain to test more missiles, likely of longer-range or more sophisticated systems." https://t.co/XJOCpLlsvu https://t.co/6usT3cqcSP
