gone beyond the rhetoric, and now north korea is trying to demonstrate its military activities. but north korea has launched dozens and dozens of missiles, more than 80 missiles under kim jong-un, more than his father and grandfather combined. all of these launches thus far have been test runs designed to show the united states and its allies the capabilities of north korea. these are not missiles that have been aimed at a city. these are not, we believe, missiles that have been armed with an actual warhead, so while we don t know at this point what has been launched or where it s headed, if we look at previous actions by north korea, they have conducted these missile tests as a way to demonstrate force but not as an actual attack on anybody. but that certainly is little reassurance for the citizens in japan who received a j-alert on their phones in the last few minutes telling them they need to take shelter. this is obviously a very frightening development for people in the region. he
