As part of next month's 100th anniversary celebrating Kim Il-sung's birth, North Korea says it will launch a long-range rocket to place a satellite into space sometime between April 12 and 16.
The news is causing a furor and would violate an agreement Pyongyang reached with the U.S. in late February where North Korea agreed to a moratorium on long-range missile launches, and nuclear tests.
It was lauded at the time as a "breakthrough" in diplomatic relations with the Northern regime and prompted the U.S. to offer 240,000 metric tons of much needed food to the North in return.
South Korea is calling the move a "grave provocation," saying North Korea is using the ruse of a satellite launch to disguise its test of a long-range missile capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
Japan is equally outraged and announced Monday it will take steps to shoot down the North Korean rocket should it venture anywhere near Japan.
Tokyo could invoke the shootdown order based on its Self-Defense Forces Law, and the move would be performed by its Self-Defense Forces.
Even China is calling for restraint. "We sincerely hope parties concerned stay calm and exercise restraint and avoid escalation of tension that may lead to a more complicated situation," Xinhua on Saturday quoted Zhang as saying (via Reuters).
North Korea held a similar launch in 2009 that failed to place any satellite and crashed into the Sea of Japan.

well isn't that just special... :o

I would suspect China of something like that more than Korea. If Koreans start landing everywhere after an emp they are going to find a lot of hungry people with guns willing to eat almost anything.
North Korea's military is for shit now. Low grade nukes and eight decades old equipment. Have you ever seen the vid's of them preparing for their little marching shows. Holes in their shoes, clothing held together by pins and needles.
They are a joke.

don't expect much out of the graphics or gunplay or SFX. the storyline is the only thing that made that game good. (and I do still think it's good) (http://www.freesmileys.or
