North Korea has successfully produced a nuclear weapon small enough to fit inside its missiles, several outlets reported Tuesday.
The Washington Post first reported that U.S. intelligence officials at the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded last month in a confidential assessment that North Korea has produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit in a missile. NBC News confirmed the report, citing an unnamed U.S. official.
The report included the intelligence community’s assessment that North Korea “has produced nuclear weapons for ballistic missile delivery, to include delivery by ICBM-class missiles,” or intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to the Washington Post.
The Pentagon in July said North Korea test-fired an ICBM, which analysts concluded put a wide swath of the United States, including Los Angeles and Chicago, within range.
North Korea on Monday vowed “thousands-fold” revenge against the United States in response to the U.N. Security Council’s unanimous decision to impose tough new sanctions on North Korea.
Trump on Tuesday said action against North Korea must be “tough” and “decisive.”
Am I the only one that finds the timing of all this odd? The US changes Presidents and within 6 months, NK missile technology advances a decade? Seemingly by magic?
And note that all these recent revelations are not coming from the CIA, but rather the DoD’s much smaller intel shop.
That’s Nice
So we have a (possibly) ICBM-nuclear ready North Korea, Russia at our door and a deranged Trump in command of the US arsenal.
What could go wrong?
Hmm I thought we didn’t have very good intelligence inside NK. But could be real.
Also odd how fast they are making breakthroughs recently. Could they be getting help? I have nothing to support this claim other than the rapid series of achievements recently.
I smell a rat.
Boogyman Tail waggin’ misdirection.
Never mind any Russian investigation
Never mind any Trump Finances investigation
This is war dontcha know they’re going to annihilate Hawaii,Alaska, the West coast.
Except even if they made one small enough , they haven’t figured out how to survive reentry
