North Korea has now fired two ICBMs in a month. The administration is skeptical of North Korea’s claim that they can hit the “entire mainland”, but some experts say North Korea is able to hit Hawaii, L.A., Denver and has the range to hit other major US cities. One expert says it could hit Chicago.
That’s not okay.
A test earlier this month showed Pyongyang had the ability to hit Alaska.
The Trump administration has issued a stark warning to North Korea and Kim Jong Un. After North Korea fired the ICBM, the Pentagon flew two menacing B-1B bombers over the Korean Peninsula Sunday.
President Donald Trump condemned the missile launch and said the United States would act to ensure its security.
“Threatening the world, these weapons and tests further isolate North Korea, weaken its economy and deprive its people,” Trump said in a written statement. “The United States will take all necessary steps to ensure the security of the American homeland and protect our allies in the region.”
Crazy Kim, ruler of North Korea, is calling the weapons a “precious asset”. In a bizarre claim, the paranoid Kim Jong-Un blamed “American imperialist beasts” looking for another chance to invade the country.
Trump has tweeted his disappointment with China for not doing more to control North Korea.
I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet…

…they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!

Sanctions likely won’t move Beijing.
The U.S. will step up military, financial and diplomatic steps. They will also likely go to the U.N. for a new resolution.
The U.S. could hit North Korea’s nuclear facilities but they could in turn hit South Korea and Japan. Both nations might be willing to engage in a joint action with the U.S.
To make matters worse, North Korea shares intel and material with Iran.
On Thursday, Iran launched its own rocket — based off a North Korean design — towards space. The Islamic Republic said the launch was a success, but U.S. assessments pegged the Iranian posture as propaganda. Officials believe the Iranian rocket suffered a “catastrophic failure” and likely blew up.
This is the frightening North Korean missile that could wipe out a U.S. city:
