FOX News: North Korean missile launch expected as early as Monday, defense official says
North Korea is expected Friday to complete fueling a long-range missile and could be ready to launch it as early as the day after the Super Bowl, a U.S. defense official tells Fox News.
The latest estimate from U.S. intelligence expects the North Korean missile launch to occur as early as Monday in a window between Feb 8-10.
In anticipation of the North Korean launch in the coming days, the U.S. Navy has positioned a Japan-based guided-missile destroyer, outfitted with the latest anti-ballistic missile defense technology to successfully shoot down the missile if the U.S. military thinks it is a threat to the homeland.

Love that front frame above of them clapping. The many different stories it tells!
There's a story in The Gulag Archipelago about an event where all the attendees started clapping when Stalin's name was mentioned. The clapping went on and on and on. Finally, one guy quit and the rest followed suit. He was arrested that night.
Anon,
Yeah, I remember that story. I think also that since people were afraid to stop clapping and sit down during his speeches (people were known to faint) Stalin had a light installed above the podium that he could turn on for when the applause could cease and people sit. This is supposedly like Nero's poetry and musical recitals that went on for up to 20hrs with guards at the exits. People were known to fake heart attacks and child births to escape.
