Is Seoul a target of value? Kadina? Yokuska? Tokyo?

We keep moving the goal posts, years ago North Korea revealed their capability with nuclear weapons, they're now showing that they can threaten the mainland US with them. Regionally they've been a credible threat for years.

Just because something is in range doesn't mean you will hit it. Detonates in launch sequence/ burns up in reentry/someone can't aim for poo poo and it lands in the middle of the Pacific/hits Oakland.

Like I said, how many of them take out something of value.

I'm not saying this isn't bad. It is. I'm just offering up some optimism that, just maybe, Kim Jong Dinglefuck and Cheeto Mussolini might not wipe out an 8th of the known world.

NZ politics update:

It's hosed.

Our two left-wing parties, Labour and the Greens, have both had senior members resign in the last month. I think it would be charitable to say they're both in total disarray. Labour now have a new leader, a month out from the elections, and the Greens lost one of their two leaders.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11901089

Our current rightwing neowhatever bullshit National party is polling at 44 percent, Labour in the low thirties, and following the resignation, the greens are showing like 8 percent or something.

Thanks to our MMP system, neither can form a government right now.

What they need is the kingmaker, Winston Peters of New Zealand First. He's a crafty old dog and possibly NZ's most gifted politician. He's remained in Parliament as long as I can remember on an ultranationalistic kind of policy, appealing to old people and racists.I honestly don't know which way he's going to jump. He's been massively critical of the National-led government for a long time now, but it would be just like him to jump in with them simply to grab power. NZ First are currently polling near 10 percent, which I think is the highest on record, reflecting the country's dissatisfaction with the status quo.

The country goes to the polls next month, so it'll be interesting to see what winds up happening.

I will laugh forever if Winston demands he be made PM as a condition of forming a coalition.

Paris update

Someone drove a BMW through a group of soldiers outside the townhall of Levallois-Perret in Paris, serious injuries reported

"“It’s without doubt a deliberate act … This vehicle was waiting for them,” Balkany said. “The BMW accelerated very quickly the moment they came out. This happened in the middle of the town. It happened very quickly.”"
