북한이 또 다시 기습적으로 ICBM, 대륙간 탄도미사일을, 한반도와 일본열도 사이의 일본경제수역으로 발사, 성공했다는 뉴스가 전세계를 도배하고 있다. 문통과 Trump 는 발사이후 이문제를 토의하기위한 전화통화가 있었다고 한다. 그런데 문통은 "전쟁은 안된다. 외교적으로 문제를 풀어야 한다"라고 똑같은 주문을 했다고 한다. 트럼프는 "내가 알아서 처리하겠다(I will take care of )라고 했고, 미국 조야의 전문가들 의견도, 이제는 다른 방법이 거의 없고, 단하나만 남았다 라는 의견도출이 지배적이다. 문통과 통화하기에 앞서, 트럼프 대통령은 일본 Abe수상과 먼저 통화를 장시간 한후에 문통과 통화했다고 한다.
어제의 탄도 미사일 발사는 지난 9월 중순까지 6번째의 핵실험을 한이후 잠잠했다가, 평양당국이 처음으로 발사한 것으로, 전세계의 예측이 완전히 빗나갔음을 조롱하듯이 북한은 유유자적이다.
미사일 발사가 성공적으로 확인된 직후, 북한의 국영방송은 앵커 "리춘희"가, 항상 중대 발표할때마다 유니폼처럼 입고 등장했던 핑크색 한복 저고리와 검정치마를 입고, 공갈이 다분히 섞인 멘토를 서슴없이 해댔다.
한국국방부는 바로 대응 사격을 했다고 발표했는데, 그의미는 무엇일까? 어디로 발사해서 뭘 격파했다는 소리인지? 선뜻 이해가 가지 않는다. 만약에 핵탄두를 장착한 탄도 미사일을 격추 시켰다면? 그 Debris와 핵방사능은 어디로 떨어질 것인가? 확실하게 대기권을 넘어 무중력 상태에 있는 우주공간에서 격파 했다면 조금은 덜 걱정 하겠지만.....
미국과 일본을 비롯한 전 서방세계는 물론이고, 맹방인 중국까지도 좌불안석인데, 정작 당사국, 대한민국은 청와대 벙커에서 회의했다. 전쟁은 안된다 라는 회의 결론이 전부다.
외교적으로 해결할려고 한다면, 그대책을 선명히 밝혔어야 했는데, 매번 녹음기 틀어놓듯이, 아무런 알맹이가 없는, 현실성이 전연없는 Rethoric만 남발하고 있다는데, 국민들의 불안은 더 커져만 가고있다.
Abe수상은 오늘 발사한 미사일을 포함해 최근에 북한이 발사한 미사일은 "악의적인 행동"이며 " 일본의 경제수역내에 떨어진 미사일 잔해를 확인후, "절대로 용납되여서는 안된다"라고 의지를 표명했다.
"한국일보"의 보도내용은 적군,아군의 구분이 안되게 보도한 부분이 아리송하다.
"이렇게 비행거리를 최소화 한 것은 유엔 안보리 결의를 위반해 미사일을 발사하면서도 어떻게든 주변국을 덜 자극하고 정치적 파장도 줄이기 위한 방편으로 분석된다". 북한이 주변국을 생각해서라고? 한국일보의 보도 목적이 참으로 기가 막힌다. 박정희 대통령때 부총리까지 지낸 한국일보 사주, 고 장기영씨가 지하에서 통곡할것만 같다.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has confirmed that it successfully tested a “Hwasong 15” intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Wednesday.
A Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) statement, which confirms earlier assessments from the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK), claims the new type of ICBM "is capable of striking the whole mainland of the US."
It was Pyongyang's first test launch since a missile was fired in mid-September, days after its sixth nuclear test.

The ICBM was launched at 02:48 local time on Wednesday, according to the KCNA statement, and flew to an altitude of 4,475 km and then a distance of 950 km.
It was launched from Sain Ni in the DPRK and flew for 53 minutes before splashing down into the Sea of Japan, said Pentagon spokesman Robert Manning.
The launch has been widely condemned by the international community.
New type of missile
The DPRK said on Wednesday that the successful test of the “Hwasong 15” ICBM "realized great historic cause of completing state nuclear force."

US, Japanese and ROK officials all agreed the missile was likely an ICBM. It did not pose a threat to the United States, its territories or allies, the Pentagon said.
"It went higher frankly than any previous shot they’ve taken, a research and development effort on their part to continue building ballistic missiles that can threaten everywhere in the world, basically," US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters at the White House.
Trump, Moon warn of 'grave threat'
US President Donald Trump and his ROK counterpart Moon Jae-in warned that Pyongyang's latest missile launch posed a "grave" global threat.
"Both leaders underscored the grave threat that North Korea (DPRK)'s latest provocation poses not only to the United States and the Republic of Korea, but to the entire world," the White House said in an account of a crisis call between Trump and Moon.
Washington has said repeatedly that all options, including military ones, are on the table in dealing with the DPRK while stressing its desire for a peaceful solution.
"Diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now," US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
China: 'grave concern'
China is "gravely concerned", Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Wednesday, while calling on all parties to act cautiously in order to preserve regional peace and stability.
"China strongly demands the DPRK abide by the UN Security Council resolutions and refrain from actions that heighten the tension on the Korean Peninsula," Geng told reporters at daily news briefing.
Japan denounces 'violent act'
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the latest DPRK missile launch was a "violent act" that "can never be tolerated" after the ICBM splashed down in its exclusive economic zone.

"We will never yield to any provocative act. We will maximize our pressure" on Pyongyang, Abe told reporters.
"The government welcomes the fact that China is taking concrete steps such as an embargo on imports of North Korea's (DPRK) coal, marine products, textile products, among others," Abe told a parliamentary committee.
"Frankly speaking, I feel that China is playing its role" over the UN-agreed sanctions, he added.
Russia: 'provocative act'
The latest test of the ICBM is a provocative act, the Kremlin said on Wednesday, while calling on all sides involved to stay calm to avoid a clash.
"Certainly, this new missile launch is a provocative act, which provokes further growth in tension and which moves us further away from the point where a settlement of the crisis can begin," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on a conference call with reporters.
While condemning the latest test, the Kremlin's Peskov said: "We hope that all the sides involved are able to preserve calm, which is so necessary to avoid the situation on the Korean peninsula sliding towards a worst-case scenario."
Russia and China have proposed a roadmap for defusing the crisis in the region.
On Wednesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry repeated its offer to use the plan, calling on Pyongyang to stop its missile and nuclear tests, while urging the United States and South Korea to abstain from their unprecedentedly large-scale, unscheduled military air exercises announced to be held in early December".
UN council meeting scheduled
The United States, Japan and the ROK requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting to address Pyongyang's missile launch. Reuters reported a meeting was expected later on Wednesday.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the launch and called for Pyongyang to "desist from taking any further destabilizing steps."
'State sponsor of terror'
Wednesday's launch came after Trump announced last week that the US will designate the DPRK as a state sponsor of terror.

The DPRK will join Iran, Sudan and Syria on the US list of state sponsors of terror.
"In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea (DPRK) has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil," Trump said during a cabinet meeting.
The US Treasury Department also expanded its list of DPRK sanctions against 34 additional individuals and companies on November 21.
