‘North Korea issued a terrifying new threat yesterday to resume test launches of missiles capable of reaching Alaska, Hawaii and, possibly, the
Western seaboard of the United States.’

‘Satellite launch variant of the Shahab-5. Indigenously derived version of North Korea's NKSL-X-2. The claimed range probably exceeds what is
technically feasible. It most likely is similar in performance to the Soviet SS-5 (4,000-4,300).’

To me, this looks like a serious problem. If you think Kim Jong-Il won’t push to get a missile that can hit America you’re very much mistaken. You
also have the problem, he might already have this capability. Now even if you send a downgraded Nuclear War-Head into say, Los Angeles it’d do a lot
more damage than Hiroshima or any other event similar to this. The fallout would cause the mass amount of damage and targeting something such as L.A.
would also have massive financial repercussions.
So, either he doesn’t have them and America knows this (why they’re playing it down) or they’re not seeing the serious implications of it. On
another note, he might of announced this because they now have missiles that are ready to hit the Western Seabed. I remember reading something on them
testing a missile/supposedly testing one, but I can’t find the link.
