THIS MEANS WAR! North Korea Successfully Test-Launches ICBM, US Officials Confirm [VIDEO]
North Korea has officially successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting Alaska. And for that matter, Hawaii. They tested a two-stage ICBM. The missile traveled approximately 600 miles. It was in flight for 40 minutes and reached an altitude of 1,741 miles. It was fired from the North Pyong’an Province and flew into waters east of the Korean Peninsula. The projectile may have landed in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone. Word has it that the Russians and the Chinese have agreed to handle the North Koreans over this, but considering they help the Hermit Kingdom, I don’t believe that for a second. However you look at this event, it is a game changer between the US and North Korea.
Technology for ballistic and cruise missiles is advancing in countries from North Korea and Iran to Russia and China, increasing potential threats to the US even if they don’t carry nuclear warheads, according to a new Pentagon report. Those countries should sound familiar… they are what I have long called the New Axis of Evil. Among the new technologies are hypersonic glide vehicles being developed by Russia and China.
The test was hailed as North Korea’s most successful missile test to date. North Korea’s Academy of Defense Science said the test of an ICBM — the Hwasong-14 — marked the “final step” in creating a “confident and powerful nuclear state that can strike anywhere on Earth.” The actual final step would be marrying a nuclear warhead to the missile… details, details. When that happens millions could and probably will die.
Initially, Japan and South Korea hesitated to label this an ICBM. But the US confirmed it almost immediately. This is just the latest threat to us they possess. Others include the potential for launching an EMP weapon over the US, throwing us back to the Dark Ages technologically speaking. Millions of Americans would die. They also have satellites they could launch an EMP from. Let’s nor forget their hacking skills either… they could create an EMP effect without using one simply by hacking our infrastructure. It’s long past time to confront the Hermit Kingdom. They are a clear and present danger.
Do you really think the timing of all this was by accident? Kim Jong-Un pulled this on the eve of our Independence Day. It’s also right after Barack Obama departed South Korea after violating the Logan Act. I don’t believe in coincidence. This was planned. The ICBM hit the target it aimed at in the Sea of Japan… about 933 kilometers away from the launch site in the North’s northwest.
The possible range of the ICBM is 4,160 miles, which puts Alaska within striking range. And this is surely with the help of Iranian scientists and possibly both the Chinese and Russians. President Trump had this to say: “North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!” I suggest rather than admonishing China, who is not going to help with this, that we preemptively do something here before it is too late. And I don’t mean sanctions. We’ve tried that for 60 years and it hasn’t worked.
