North Korea plans to launch a satellite using a carrier rocket in April, the country's official news agency said Friday, a move that would violate U.N. Security Council demands.
Previous satellite launches by the North have been widely viewed as ballistic missile test launches in disguise.
The last time Pyongyang carried out what it described as a satellite launch, in April 2009, the Security Council condemned the action, saying it breached a resolution forbidding North Korea from conducting "missile-related activities."
The Security Council demanded that North Korea not conduct any further launches.

North Korea is too easy a target for jokes.

Two roads, and the North took the one that, when travelled by, leads to USSR, Cuba, and similar sadness.
That has made all the difference in North Korea.
Could it happen in the USA?
You haven't been watching the GOP debates, have you? 😛
Take that, you running dog imperialists! HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW.
Who is the UN to tell other people how to run their country?

NK is not starving you brainwashed fools!
The Leaders and their Military are certainly not starving but the peasents ARE. And any food assistance given to that nation is going to feed their military machine.

yep... another one of those hell on earth spots. You ever notice that the countries that forbid tourism, you wouldn't want to go there anyway?
lol @ cosmicvox, yep! My dad told me plenty enough about that country for me to be quite sure i would never want to. He was there several years.
He should know. Terrible regime there, they are scary. G nite 🙂
Maybe they should take some of that technology and develop electricity. Ever see airiel photos of Korea at night? Pitch black above the 38Th parallel.
