Did you even read the article you posted?

“While doubts remain about the missile’s ability to carry a heavy nuclear warhead, it’s known that North Korea wants long-range missiles to hold targets in the US at risk.

Fortunately, unlike an attack from a nuclear peer state like Russia, North Korea’s less-advanced missiles would only be expected to hit a few key targets in the US. And even that limited attack would still take North Korea years to prepare for, since it still needs to perfect its missiles engines with more tests, in addition to guidance systems. It also needs to build and deploy enough of them to survive US missile defenses.”

So basically, we’re talking 4-5 targets?

The map shows: Washington, DC (obviously, our capital)...

Barksdale AFB, Shreveport (actually Bossier City, having been there) Louisiana, home to the 8th Air Force and about 48 B-52’s

San Diego, California, home to huge US Navy assets.

Honolulu, Hawaii, home to PACOM, Navy’s Pacific Fleet and Air Force’s PACAF.

Man, the NORKS will GLOW for decades after that.

Doesn’t sound like something like this would happen if Kim wants to live...

It is the saber rattling I expected after Trump left Vietnam. All at the behest of China. The President should raise tariffs!
