N.Korea boasts of 'shaking world' by testing missiles that can strike US

[JPost] Also among the tests was the first firing since 2017 of a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile, capable of striking US territories in the Pacific Ocean.

North Korea boasted on Tuesday that it is one of only a handful of countries in the world to field nuclear weapons and advanced missiles and the only one standing up to the United States by "shaking the world" with missile tests.

International tension has been rising over a recent series of North Korean ballistic missile tests, actions long banned by the UN Security Council. January was a record month of such tests, with at least seven launches, including a new type of "hypersonic missile" able to maneuver at high speed.

Also among the tests was the first firing since 2017 of a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile, capable of striking US territories in the Pacific Ocean.

A statement from North Korea's Foreign Ministry said a series of tests since New Year represented "remarkable achievements" that strengthened North Korea's "war deterrence."

It also cited the Hwasong-15, the longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) ever launched by North Korea, which hasn't been fired since its first test in 2017, and is believed to have the range to deliver a nuclear warhead anywhere in the United States.

#2 ....All we need to do is shoot one of the damned things down with no warning, explanation, or apology, and I suspect this might stop right quickly.

On the other hand, Kim Il Round Boy would simply claim the missile had been carrying a hundred nuns and orphans on a sightseeing tour, and the rest of the world would believe him.

#3 Just give the SKoreans and Japanese nukes with delivery systems that can reach, say, Hong Kong. Draw that circle.

#4 So NK is bragging it only took them 50+ years to do something that any country willing to strave its people, instead using the $$$$ to feed them could do?

Well NK you are 50 years late...
