ATTACK OF THE METEORS

They seem to be popping up everywhere. First in Russia, then Cuba, then California. A slew of meteors in just a few days. So what are these foreign objects?

Shows of force.

The world is posturing for the nuclear-program-strutting North Korea, trying to show they have the capability to shoot down projectiles headed for populated areas. Though the Russian meteor was merely the size of a bus, it was still successfully blasted before inflicting maximum damage.

North Korea's bizarre emblem, with a star raining down  laser beams and meteors.

How will North Korea react to these displays? Probably with some more displays of their own, some pouting and strutting around, a little crying, and a lot of yelling. According to the U.N., China is the only country able to stop Kim Jung Un (though we'll bet the war hawks up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. have something to say about that), but China doesn't seem to be doing anything.

We say gear up for some nuclear action within the next five years. But maybe we're wrong about everything. Maybe the Russian meteor was a fridge they chucked out of the ISS. Then they threw out the microwave and toaster.
