The Jungle Law of Perdition

"We do not hide that a variety of satellites and long-range rockets which will be launched by the DPRK one after another and a nuclear test of higher level which will be carried out by it in the upcoming all-out action, a new phase of the anti-U.S. struggle that has lasted century after century, will target against the U.S., the sworn enemy of the Korean people.
"Settling accounts with the U.S. needs to be done with force, not with words, as it regards jungle law as the rule of its survival."
North Korea's National Defence Commission

North Korea bristled at Tuesday's UN Security Council resolution that had the unmitigated gall of condemning the Peoples' Republic for launching a long-range rocket. For that banned missile activity, expanded sanctions were launched in retaliation against the regime. That China sided this time with its fellow Security Council members to make it unanimous must have rankled. That China chose deliberately to chastise North Korea in this way is demonstration enough of its concern.

North Korea's National Defence Commission, the highest political body of the land, headed by Kim Jong Un, illustrated its blustering incoherence by insisting the launch was a peaceful attempt to send a satellite into space. Thus making its starving population extremely proud of what its elite has accomplished with the scarce treasury at its disposal. But while the rocket launched a satellite into space, its use, as is well understood by the rest of the world, is a deliberate provocation.

In one and the same breath as speaking of a peaceful satellite send-up, the commission warned of the military purpose of the rocket launches. To design and produce and test them for longer reaches, and for a very specific purpose in mind: to strike and attack the United States. North Korea's reciprocal relationship with that other Republic, which speaks openly of attacking and destroying the "Zionist entity", and similarly perfecting rocketry while purifying uranium for bomb-making reflects a dual purpose.

Both the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran are openly busy with their covert activities; on the one hand discreet, on the other revelling openly in their successes, and happily threatening the existence of those countries that have invoked their raging animus. North Korea made allusion to a "higher level" nuclear test assumed to represent the miniaturization of a nuclear tipped bomb.

An agenda it shares with Iran. With one targeting the Great Satan, the other the Little Satan. In both instances, clear indications that the use of Predator drones in both of the countries to extinguish the leading elites taking their citizens down a road to Perdition to be avoided at all costs, is required.
