Watch: Firefight with a North Korean spy craft

The ship was not a simple rusty trawler, and held proof of the level of sophistication found in some of the North Korean endeavors. Literally, some 1960’s James Bond level tech.

North Korea’s nuclear capability is real

The U.S. is the primary villain in whatever alternate reality they’re living in North Korea. They’ve told us that they’ve tested the bomb that will be the standard in their defense apparatus. We also know that they possess long-range missiles.
