This sophism is the height of double-dealing standards," he said. <br /><br />For the second time in a week, the US Air Force test launched another unarmed ICBM capable of carrying a nuclear warhead from an air base in California Wednesday morning. The DPRK describes the test launch as a simulation strike against it.<br /> globaltimes.cn<br />5/5/17xronoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107445158803745642noreply@blogger.com
