The article, You’re the ‘Terrorists’: North Korea Vows Attack on Enemy Intelligence Agencies, was released by Sputnik News on May 5. The article contains two passages worth mentioning. First this one:
“Korean-style anti-terrorist attack will be commenced from this moment to sweep away the intelligence and plot-breeding organizations of the US imperialists and the puppet clique.”
KCNA North Korean News Agency
Yes, the grammar and usage reads exactly akin to the script from a “bad” B-rated Karate movie of the kind that used to come on TV on Saturdays. All kidding aside and poor sentence construction or not, these guys have nuclear weapons and they have the resolve to use them when backed into a corner. The second passage is more telling:
“On Thursday, a think tank report from inside the US Congress said that the U.S.’s controversial THAAD missile defense system that has begun to be deployed in South Korea may not be capable of actually intercepting North Korean nukes directed around the Korean Peninsula and toward Japan.”
So, you see, THAAD “may not be capable of actually intercepting North Korean nukes,” and this straight out of Washington. Want to know why? All you have to do is look back to 2011 and 2012 when tests were conducted with THAAD in Hawaii. These tests were “dog and pony” shows…where the coordinates for the target missiles’ trajectories were fed into the computer system beforehand, and even then…THAAD only took out 50% of the missiles. THAAD is a piece of garbage: a budgetarily overinflated Military Industrial Complex (MIC) project designed to appear as if it’s a formidable and reliable defensive measure. Its design is to ensure continuity of contracts and budgetary allocations.
