More than likely he is seeing how far he can push the boundary.

Well, the President of North Korea does have a point.

The US has been starving his people with economic sanctions over blatant hypocrisy.

The reason the sanctions are in place is due to North Korea affiliations with terrorist supporting states. Even Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the US funded the Mujahadeen. Illegal religious combatants. The US funded and armed them and killed 14,000 Russian soldiers indirectly.

Watching North Korea's leader threaten others with nukes makes me think of a deranged suicidal psycho threatening people with a loaded gun, with police on the scene, sooner or later negotiations become futile and it ends badly for the psycho....

Is Trump going to point 2 missles at North Korea and call his bluff?

Is it possible to discern the payload mass in this case from observations of orbit alone? I.e. not needing special signals or human intelligence other than the usual telemetry business.

If you're familiar with the booster being used, you can get a pretty good idea by watching the thing accelerate vs the amount of delta-V being expended.

Not true.

We have eyes on them.

And more than that.

And they know it...

Actually that's good ol' Kimmy doing that. Every time sanctions are relieved or aid is sent it is NEVER spent on North Korean citizens, it's ALWAYS used to bolster their military.
