North Korea Tests ICBM With Longest Flight They’ve Had

 Well, isn’t this a pickle!  North Korea and their leader, who Trump calls Rocket Man, are back in the news in a big way.  They sent troops to fight with Russia near Ukraine and Russia might help them get a nuke screwed onto their ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) in exchange for their help!  Last week we read that NK blew up all of the roads and rails connecting them to South Korea, sending a strong message that peace is not likely much longer.  So here is just one other piece on the chess board of what the Bible would call the Last Days.  It seems like everyone is getting ready for war.

SEOUL/TOKYO, Oct 31 (Reuters) - North Korea said it tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, upgrading what it called the "world's most powerful strategic weapon", as Seoul warned Pyongyang could get missile technology from Russia for helping with the war in Ukraine.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the test was a warning to enemies that have been threatening the country's security, KCNA state news agency said.

“The test-fire is an appropriate military action that fully meets the purpose of informing the rivals, who have intentionally escalated the regional situation and posed a threat to the security of our Republic recently, of our counteraction will," Kim was quoted as saying by KCNA.

The muscle-flexing comes amid international outcry and rising alarm over what the U.S. and others say is North Korea's deployment of 11,000 troops to Russia - 3,000 of them close to the western frontlines with Ukraine.
