The last time Kim went days without being seen was prior to the ICBM launch in late July, when he remained incognito for two weeks before making his grandiose public appearance. His public withdrawal comes as nuclear tensions mount between Washington and Pyongyang, and on the heels of the leader’s threat to attack the U.S. island territory of Guam.

Yep, I saw (and lost) an article an hour ago about how another launcher has been seen rolling out for another "show" of stupidity.
Here we go.
I wonder if Chuck Norris was an invitee.

Adding to the speculation of an imminent rocket-fire test, last week U.S.-based North Korea watchdog site 38 North released satellite imagery of a submarine base in the hermit country, showing that tarps had been placed above both the fore and aft decks of the Sinpo-class submarine base, presumably to conceal any inside movements.
“The US Imperialists caught the noose around their necks due to their reckless military confrontation racket ... (but) he would watch a little more the foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees spending a hard time of every minute of their miserable lot,” the report says. “If the planned fire of our demonstration is carried out as the US is going more reckless, it will be the most delightful historic moment when the Hwasong artillerymen will wring the windpipes of the Yankees and point daggers at their necks.” The missile being prepared may be a Hwasong HS-12. Such intermediate missiles do not have the capacity to reach the mainland United States, but can reach the US military bases of Guam and Japan.

I hate this. Reminds me of the fear as a child during the Cuban Missle Crisis where we drilled going into the school hallway and hiding our heads. I hate this.
