April 5, 2013. It seems that North Korea’s President Kim Jong Un is on one. In recent weeks he threatened nuclear war on South Korea and the United States Military bases in the region. He also publicly denounced South Korea’s routine military exercises which began in March. Calling them rehearsals for an invasion.
Amidst escalating tension between North Korea and South Korea, and accusations that the United States is instigating a war, recent activities point to the fact that the young president is planning some sort of a missile launch. North Korea has moved medium range missiles and launch components to its east coast.
Government officials stated that they are certain that North Korea does not have the capacity to successfully fire a missile that would reach the United States. But the White House Press Secretary stated that the United States is taking all necessary precautions. The U.S. is sending a missile shield to the Pacific Island of Guam within a few weeks. This will add to the warships the U.S. already has in place. Guam, Hawaii and the U.S. mainland could be possible targets of North Korea.
North Korea may not have the capacity to hit the United States with it missile, but the 2500 mile range missiles they can target So possess can target South Korea, Japan and China. Seoul’s defense minister Kim Kwan-jin said the missile could reach a “considerable distance” but not the US mainland. “Two nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers flew over South Korea in what the US military described as “deterrence” missions.
30 year old Kim Jung Un being the new leader that he is, is believed to be attempting to set a precedence. But because he is young and inexperienced, he is also unpredictable. He launched a satellite into orbit in December. Unfortunately it did tumble out of control, further proving that North Korea does not yet have the capacity to successfully build and launch a nuclear missile.
President Un does not want to mess with the United States. The white house has stated that if North Korea engages, the United States will replace the entire regime.
