North Korea launched a possible intercontinental ballistic missile on Monday morning in what analysts said indicated the growing reliability of the reclusive state’s illegal weapons program.
The missile launched Monday exhibited the range to hit anywhere in the United States, according to a preliminary assessment from the Japanese Defense Ministry.
“The ICBM-class ballistic missile launched this time, if calculated based on the trajectory, depending on weight of warhead, could have a flying range of over 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles), meaning the whole of the US territory would be within range,” Shingo Miyake, parliamentary vice-minister of defense, told reporters at a news conference in Tokyo.
It means nothing if North Korea said it, but since Japan said it, it’s a little disconcerting…
If they can built space rockets that can carry payload to orbit, they can build ICBMs. First space launchers were modified ICBMs after all.
I will be outraged if they bomb an American city other than Highland Park, TX.
Wow! At the speed that thing was going, Washington DC families would only have time to pack their essentials, fuel up the car, grab a quick lunch at Denny’s, go back and make sure they locked their front door, then head for the hills.
Scary.
North Korean engineering is fucking crazy.

I think that fat little fuck well understands that we would glass his entire country in one fell swoop if he even dared.
