North Korea is preparing 10 short-range missiles for a mass test-launch, South Korean news reports say, adding that the South Korean military is on alert.

Don't know if I was dreaming it in my trance state but there was a huge number of helicopters traveling around this morning over Sillim. Usually I hear one every day but this was about ten big-bladed beasts.

N.Korea has mentality of 8 old kid, they have to make news once every few months to get attention from S.Korea/world, without that they don't feel like they are alive. It's been that way for last 50 years.

It reminds me of a Trek episode some years back. Basically they are surrounded and under threat from a more powerful force, and they don't have any weapons to defend themselves except six torpedoes. So, they create the illusion of having more weapons to dissuade the enemy while using those six missiles. Pretty much the same with N Korea. Scare tactics.
