North Korea Touts that It Launched Missile that Can Reach Guam

North Korea seems to want to remind the Biden administration they can target U.S. soil with their latest missile launch; they even put a camera on their missile to further drive that point home:

North Korea’s state-run news outlet on Monday confirmed it successfully test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States’ territory of Guam.

The Korean Central News Agency announced the country had fired a Hwasong-12 missile on Sunday from the northwestern area of North Korea toward the eastern coast “in consideration of the security of neighboring countries.”

The Hwasong-12 is an intermediate-range ballistic missile with an estimated maximum range of 2,796 miles, more than enough distance to reach Guam, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. It was first unveiled – and last tested – by North Korea in 2017, the same year the communist regime tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile.

Releasing recent video of Kim Fatty 3, his sister, and 5 or 6 of the top generals in supposedly secret locations might make them shut up.

Or not releasing the video, just a politely-worded version of the secret itinerary for said officials for the next seven days.

No actual threats need to be made… the message would be clear…
