Here we go again.
North Korea fired another missile over Japan on Friday morning, a fresh provocation that comes shortly after the United Nations approved harsher sanctions against Kim Jong Un’s regime.
Japan didn’t attempt to shoot down the unidentified missile, which was launched at 6:57 a.m. and flew over the northern island of Hokkaido before landing 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away in the Pacific Ocean, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.
North Korea’s actions are dangerously provocative. In my opinion, they’re deliberately trying to provoke war, specifically, they are trying to provoke an attack in response. They believe that China will back them up. If things keep escalating, either they, or we, will start a war that can’t be stopped.
This is dangerous.
