White House “warns” North Korea of possible “end of regime”

North Korea was at it again yesterday, launching two more ballistic missiles into the sea to the northeast of the country. Given Kim Jong-un’s recent provocations, this likely won’t come as much of a shock to those keeping an eye on that part of the world. The missiles in question were relatively short-range and low altitude compared to some of Kim’s newer and bigger hardware, flying less than 150 miles at an altitude below 15 miles. What was different about this incident, however, was that it came at the same time that the Pentagon had issued a much more stern “warning” to North Korea, saying that any use of nuclear weapons by Kim would “end” his regime. This was the most provocative warning shot we’ve seen taken at the diminutive dictator in quite some time. (Associated Press)Read More
