California’s looking more iffy by the day. And it looks like North Korea’s purported ICBM capability now extends to the U.S. West Coast.
"North Korea has tested its second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which appeared to land somewhere in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the East Sea. The launch is the latest for the reclusive regime since it demonstrated the Hwasong-14 for the first time on July 4th, 2017. It likely involved either that same missile type or a derivative thereof. If initial estimates are correct, the weapon can hit the continental United States, able to reach at least west coast and possibly beyond.
The U.S. military confirmed the launch and that it involved an ICBM, but did not specify what type. The North Koreans fired the missile from the remote Mup’yong-ni in the country’s Janjang province. The missile flew for approximately 45 minutes before crashing into the sea some 600 miles from the launch site. "
Stand by for some fireworks if fat man’s people can develop a nuke small enough to fit on that ICBM. Which they will.
