Kim Jong Un, looking relaxed in a dark suit and laughing with aides, oversaw the festivities on the Day of the Sun at Pyongyangs main Kim Il Sung Square.

PYONGYANG/SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea displayed what appeared to be new long-range and submarine-based missiles on the 105th birth anniversary of its founding father, Kim Il Sung, on Saturday, as a nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier group steamed towards the region.
Missiles appeared to be the main theme of a giant military parade, with Kims grandson, leader Kim Jong Un, taking time to greet the commander of the Strategic Forces, the branch that oversees the missile arsenal.
A U.S. Navy attack on a Syrian airfield this month with Tomahawk missiles raised questions about U.S. President Donald Trumps plans for reclusive North Korea, which has conducted several missile and nuclear tests in defiance of U.N. sanctions, regularly threatening to destroy the United States.

Goose-stepping soldiers and marching bands filled the square, next to the Taedonggang River that flows through Pyongyang, in the hazy spring sunshine, followed by tanks, multiple-launch rocket systems and other weapons.

North Korea has no chance against a major power, whether it's us, China, Russia, or even Japan.
They're just a little dog yapping in their cage. If a big dog gets provoked it would make mincemeat of the little dog in a heartbeat. Our military has no interest in going to "war" against these guys and they certainly won't allow Trump to use the nuclear option. It's just not gonna happen. They'd assassinate him first, but it won't even come to that.
The major powers have to stand firm and tell this little yapping dog (Kim Jong Un) to shut the hell up.
We thought South Korea would be our ally in this, but they've turned out to be useless.
It's probably our fault anyway. SK used to be a nice little country until they got mixed up with us.
We need another Eisenhower to straighten this situation out.
Just sayin'
