Foreign Policy

Yesterday North Korea launched a satellite into orbit, proving its ability to launch nuclear ICBMs. Caught by surprise, as usual, today the US is scrambling to diminish this accomplishment. It's claiming the satellite is tumbling out of control in space. So what if it is? But just to show how dishonest the US is, US officials claim it might hit another satellite. This is absurd propaganda. Suppose you tossed a frisbee that went out of control. The chances of it accidentally hitting another frisbee in flight are virtually zero. The chances this satellite, orbiting in a much greater volume of space, hits another is infinitesimally smaller.  North Korea gets upset when the western press ignores it. It's just trying to get our attention, successfully.
