North Korea Launches Missile and Tries To Jam GPS Signals (go.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Hours after North Korea fired a short-range missile into the sea in retaliation for ongoing U.S. join military drills with South Korea, they started jamming GPS navigation systems near its border with South Korea, affecting hundreds of fishing boats but not causing any immediate danger. There were no disruptions to drivers' satellite navigation system or air traffic, but warning messages were broadcast in affected areas warning ships not to rely on their GPS navigation. In a statement, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense said: "North Korea has been continuously disrupting GPS system since 7:30 pm [Thursday] and thereby interfering and hampering our military movements, which is threatening the safety of our people."

This is ridiculously outdated thinking. China never "owned" North Korea in the first place, and certainly does not today. The Chinese have been to see the North Koreans, and told them, "look, this Marxism shit does not work and everyone knows it except Western university professors. Take the capitalist road, free your people, and get rich." It's what China did to Burma and look where they are. The Burmese are well on the path to becoming the next Vietnam. The North Koreans wouldn't listen. I like how you call them dogs and get an openly racist comment modded up to +5, you racist piece of shit.
