North Korea missile launch puts Fort Greely on high alert
Must Read Alaska ^ | Jan 5 2022 | suzanne Downing

Posted on 01/05/2022 8:29:21 AM PST by mac_truck

North Korea fired what is believed to be a missile into the waters of the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday morning, according to the Japanese government.

In response, Fort Greely, Alaska personnel were ordered to find shelter immediately during what was still Tuesday afternoon in Alaska.

It’s unknown what kind of projectile it was, but the Japanese Defense Ministry said it was probably a missile. Other MRAK sources said it was a hypersonic missile launched from a submarine.

The last missile Pyongyang launched was in October. In 2017, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched in North Korea that had a range of 8,100 miles, and could have reached the U.S. mainland in less than 30 minutes. Anchorage and Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson are the closest major population centers to North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has recently said he would step up missile testing, and it’s believed he is trying to have North Korea become accepted as a nuclear power. Diplomatic relations with the United States have been strained.

They are not available on Amazon. But you can get the blueprints for one by donating to the Clinton Foundation. It’s tax-deductible, so it’s all good.

This is going to be an interesting year, for sure. Every adversary is looking to take advantage of the fortuitous window of opportunity opened by Biden. Its going to be Open Season on the USA.

Remember when Biden’s boss said that the United States could absorb a nuclear attack?

I’m still waiting for my F-15. I’m pretty sure it is stuck on a cargo ship somewhere.

The little North Korean pigs President Biden didn’t tell them he has set us a Doomsday Machine if they hit Alaska or any other American land or holding with a missile because he wanted to surprise them on his birthday.

I hadn’t seen this scene again in years and was shocked they said who would have made up such preposterous nonsense at that? Answer: The New York Times.

I’m more of a defensive kind of guy, so I’m thinking Iron Dome. A Nigerian general offered me one via email, and ii only cost me $750. Here’s the picture he sent me. I’ve already sent him the money. I expect delivery any day now.

“I expect delivery any day now.”

I bought my Iron Dome system off of Amazon Prime. I also got the entire discography from Bread and a set of steak knives from Dollar General.
