Did the US cause the North Korean Missile Failure - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " North Korea's unsuccessful missile launch 'may have been thwarted by US cyber attack' "

Lets Get Real:

This would be an interesting development, the US caused problems for the Iran's nuclear plans through cyber warfare, the next stage it could be argued is to take down North Korea's nuclear structure without the use of a military strike.   Of course the problem is if NK thinks that the US did thwart the missile test it could take counter measures that could really cause a War.   One can only hope that the US and its Allies can keep a secret.   If the CIA and the NSA did the cyber attack it was a good job, they have earned their pay for the month. 

The TRUTH and North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports "  Reuters reported one US official as saying it was confident the failed projectile was not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). "

Lets Get Real:

It is HARD to know the truth about North Korea, it is one of the most closed societies in the World, no Internet, no anything, everything run by the Government, the people of North Korea think that it was the West that started the Korean War.   Thus the FAILED missile might have been an ICBM or not, the Western intelligence networks will have to work it out, as the test was a failure there is no need at the present for a Crisis.   The US and the West should just ignore North Korea, it always has it hand out for food and money, if it spent less on defence it could feed its people.   China as the big brother has to deal with NK, it is on their doorstep, better that China deal with the problem that the West having to take military action.

DID North Korea's ICBM FAIL? - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " According to a military official the weapon is 'presumed to be a new ICBM' as it is longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 missiles. "

Lets Get Real:

As long as North Korea's ICBM's fail then the Oval Office does not need to react, the failure speaks for itself, of course from failure the North Korean regime will learn to improve its faults.  Thus during a Trump Presidency there might be a need for a US strike on NK.   One would hope the CIA and the NSA have their eyes and ears open to check what is going on in NK.   Also the CIA should be hacking the NK system, seeing if it can slow down the development of a working ICBM.   Thus this crisis will pass, but it will return one day, and that day might be sooner than we think.   This is long term developing story.

US and North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Fox News: Reports " Despite North Korea's provocations, U.S. officials have said that the U.S. doesn't intend to use military force against North Korea in response to either a nuclear test or a missile launch. "

Lets Get Real:

The US should only take military action if North Korea develops a ICBM that can hit the US, otherwise the Oval Office should dismiss the issue, no giving in to blackmail threats, just tell North Korea they can do what they like in North Korea, with exceptions, and the US will not give them money or food, if they want to starve their people that is their problem.   These outbursts by North Korea is getting OLD, the West has played this game before, just dismiss it and get on with the defence of US allies in the Asia.   The Trump Administration has to be firm with China, control your idiot brother.

North Korean Missile Failure - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " A North Korean missile has detonated soon after launch, South Korean and US military officials have said, a day after Pyongyang warned the US amid rising tension in the region. "

Lets Get Real:

THIS blog predicted NO WAR this weekend, the various factors, POTUS was in Florida and the VP was travelling to South Korea, also the North Korean missile failed.   This is not the first failure, but it shows that for all the PR by North Korea it can not follow through.   Thus one expects that Trump will place more pressure on China to curtail its neighbour, also make it clear that a nuclear test is a test to far.   One hopes that Pyongyang has learned its lesson and will not try a nuclear test, that would force POTUS to react, let us hope  everyone is on the same page, War next week does not look likely, POTUS back at the White House and the VP is still travelling in Asia.

Review of the Pilot - Doctor Who

Doctor Who News Page: Reports " The Pilot had an overnight viewing figure of 4.64 million viewers, a share of 24.8% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial viewing figures. "

Lets Get Real:

What a lovely starter, the intro of Bill was great, recalled the fond memories of Rose Tyler.  It was nice to see the Doctor in a mellow fashion, 50 years on Earth and no travelling, that is BIG for the Doctor.  Also did you notice that is was the Doctor takings pics of Bill's mother, was there a previous relationship?  It was nice to pics of River and Susan, its nice for us old viewers to bring back fond memories.   The threat in the episode was not really a THREAT per say, it showed that every one needs someone, even the bad ones.   It was nice to see Bill not listen to the Doctor and touch the threat ( This blog will not give away spoilers) Should Bill not recall what a Dalek is, they did steal the Earth, have the Time Lords been up to no good, they have form here!! It was nice to see that the Doctor has learned, he was about to wipe the memory of Bill but did not, one would like to think he recalled Donna and losing Clara and his memories.  A great start, another 12 weeks to go.
