Kim Jong Un Visits North Korea Defense Agency After Satellite Failure

Leader Kim Jong Un said deploying spy satellites is essential to protect North Korea’s sovereignty after one of its rockets failed in flight, as his regime made good on a threat to drop “filth” on South Korea from balloons it sent over the border.

In a speech to the country’s Academy of Defense Sciences, Kim said the rocket launched Monday that was meant to deploy a spy satellite failed due to an abnormality in a first-stage engine. He also paid tribute to the engineers and technicians “who have become a solid cornerstone of the fighting capability of our army,” the official Korean Central News Agency quoted him as saying.

“Possession of a military reconnaissance satellite is a prerequisite and essential for our nation to further strengthen its self-defense deterrence and protect national sovereignty,” KCNA on Wednesday quoted Kim as saying.

The North Korean rocket carrying a spy satellite blew up shortly after liftoff in a setback for Kim, who went to Russia last year seeking help placing an array of reconnaissance probes into orbit.

Kim Jong Un is the only one in North Korea who weighs over 100 kg.

Pity he spends so much on weaponry while his people starve. However, he seems very well fed.

He’s acting like he is in a furniture store. IKEA in North Korea.

No one was brave enough to tell Kim that was a Korean War museum.

How ridiculous. Sitting in a chair with a monocular, looking at a cell phone and touching a barrel. You are on the cutting edge Little Rocket Man.

At least he's had a chance to feel the very things that will mash him up.
