Pentagon Confirms North Korean ICBM

Should it be concerning to the world that a pudgy little man who demands to be worshiped as a god could potentially launch an InterContinentalBalisticMissile and hit a target thousands of miles away from his wicked kingdom?

What if that silly little dweeb has figured out how to put a nuclear warhead inside that missile?

North Korea has developed a new long-range mobile intercontinental ballistic missile that the Pentagon says moves the country’s leader Kim Jong Un closer to the goal of building missiles capable of striking the U.S. mainland with nuclear warheads.

The new missile is called the KN-14 by the Pentagon and is a longer-range variant of the KN-08 road-mobile ICBM first made public in 2012.

Both the KN-08 and the new KN-14 have not been flight tested. But defense officials familiar with reports on the weapons said both systems have been tested in all other aspects of their development.

“It’s a KN-08 on steroids,” said one official of the new KN-14.

No details about the KN-14’s capabilities, such as its range, warhead carrying capacity, or the number of missiles were disclosed by the officials, who said reports of the missile were circulated by U.S. intelligence agencies within the past two weeks.

The new KN-14 missile was first displayed during an Oct. 10, 2015 military parade in Pyongyang. Its main external difference from the KN-08 is a shorter length and blunt nose cone.

Rick Fisher, a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center who has studied the two missiles’ Chinese launchers, said Russia has estimated the KN-14 could have a range between 5,000 and 6,200 miles.

“From the far northern corner of North Korea, [6,300-mile] range is sufficient for the KN-14 potentially to reach Chicago and Toronto,” Fisher said.

“It may be a stretch to fulfill North Korea’s recent propaganda video called ‘Last Chance’ depicting a nuclear strike on Washington, D.C.”

Fisher, however, said the rapid development of the KN-14 from the KN-08 indicated Pyongyang could be capable of building even larger missile variants that would have sufficient range to strike Washington.

Think about the dangerous times that live in, and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY!

For the last 6000 years of human history, a crazy man was only able to kill who he could reach with a knife or spear.  It's only been in the last 70-80 years, with the advent of nukes and missiles, that now a crazy man could kill thousands or even millions.  One man, could potentially turn the world upside down in seconds.

For those who say, "Oh Dennis, the world has always been a dangerous place!  Nothing has changed!"....I would invite you to take a long look at history and the VERY RECENT deployment of WMD's.
