It's basically a stalemate.
US officials are saying the thing fell apart literally seconds after launch. NK reports about it traversing past Japan and the Philippines and then into South Korean waters is apparently BS.

That's a CRAZY story! I can't believe people really survive that kind of ordeal, but they do. That's amazing, and I hope she's doing well now. Besides the part of her family still being in NK.I don't know about letting them cannibalize each other. The people are blameless. Ignorant, but merely helpless puppets of the most despotic government since Stalin's USSR. As alien as they might seem to you, they are still people. I guess my perspective is a bit biased, because I know a North Korean refugee who survived the famine of the 90's (her mom would shield her face when they walked down the street, because dead bodies lined the sidewalk. And when she escaped by swimming across the Yalu river to China in 2002, her mother and sister weren't so lucky and were snatched by guards). It's a tough situation. You don't want to give aid to the government, but you do want to help the people. Maybe nutrient bars are the right way to go. That way you know it won't be used for banquets.
Hope you enjoy the book, Paradoxium. It's a very good and analytical read about how the govt works.
North Korea will collapse. It's just a question of when?..
Sounds like business as usual. We get all nervous about North Korea and then their threat blows up in their faces.
