From Hyung-Jin Kim and Foster Klug’s article for the Associated Press:
North Korea on Tuesday claimed it successfully test-launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile, a potential game-changing development in what may be the world’s most dangerous nuclear standoff and, if true, a direct rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump’s earlier declaration that such a test “won’t happen!”
The launch appeared to be North Korea’s most successful missile test yet. A U.S. scientist examining the height and distance said the missile could potentially be powerful enough to reach Alaska.
In typically heated rhetoric, 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.”
And here is a picture of kim jung un, the deranged little boy running North Korea, ostensibly watching the launch and enjoying it the way a four year old enjoys a piece of candy:
Any doubt about whether launching this missile during the July 4th extended weekend was intentional?
Are kim jung un’s days numbered – whether because of our efforts or someone else’s…including within the hellhole called North Korea?
I’d bet money on it.
And the sooner I win that bet, the better off everyone in and out of North Korea will be.
