Hwasong-15

North Korea has fired a long-range ballistic missile, the South Korean military said Wednesday, days after Pyongyang threatened to down US spy planes that violated its airspace.

Relations between the two Koreas are at one of their lowest points ever, with diplomacy stalled and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un calling for increased weapons development, including tactical nukes.

Once, Mao Zedong said: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." But, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have the most destructive weapons, atomic bombs, which form the source of their power. And, the destructive weapons allow these two statesmen to play with the world.
