In a display of American might and strength to deter the insanity coming out of Kim Jong Un and North Korea, President Trump alongside American allies fired a barrage of missiles, including the South's Hyunmoo-2 and the U.S. Eighth Army's ATACMS, into the East Sea, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The provocation originally came from North Korea yesterday who fired intercontinental ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan stating it was a “gift for the American bastards” which prompted not only the United States but Russia and China to condemn the isolated dictatorship.
The U.S. military assured Americans on Wednesday that it would be capable of defending the United States against any potential attacks from North Korea's intercontinental ballistic missile, which Pyongyang claims is capable of carrying a large nuclear warhead.
Investing itself into a dark and secluded future, and a major step in its missile program, North Korea on Tuesday test-launched an ICBM, which some experts believe has the range to reach Alaska and the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
The test, the first of its kind by North Korea, led to the United States, Japan and South Korea requesting an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday, scheduled to start at 3 PM. The council is currently chaired by China.
Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis stayed that a successful test last month in which an United States based missile interceptor knocked down a simulated incoming North Korean ICBM.
"So we do have confidence in our ability to defend against the limited threat, the nascent threat that is there," he told reporters. He acknowledged though that previous U.S. missile defense tests had shown "mixed results."
The vile North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the ICBM test fulfilled his own country's strategic weapons capability which now has atomic and hydrogen bombs, North Korean state said.
Pyongyang has claimed will not negotiate with the United States to give up those weapons until “Washington abandons its hostile policy against the North Korea state” according to North Korea State News.
What most certainly is apparent is that President Trump and international superpowers no longer intend to sit by idly waiting on Kim Jong Un and North Korea to make their next move.
