Confidence on where it lands. If you see fins on the nose of any of these things, they may have some sort of guided Precision System inside and thats even scarier. Question, two technical question. I love youre here to help us cover this. The distance, the range, the accuracy is one set of matters. Perhaps the most important sensitivity matters is what they can put on that missile. Whether or not they can bring it in successfully, right. You have the rv, the reentry vehicle. That May 14th Launch did Successfully Reenter the atmosphere. We dont know if they miniaturizeed a Nuclear War Head. We dont know if its small enough to put on the cone on the tip of a missile. Talk to some folks in the pentagon they think maybe, perhaps. Others in the general assessment within the Intelligence Community they havent achieved that yet. Heres the issue, the minute
want to make sure that the United States and south korea and our allies arent threatening the ability of this dynasty to continue leading
hit anywhere in the world. i don t think experts take that as face value, but there are many experts assessing with the altitude, the distance traveled, and the time that it was flying from north korea also data from japan, south korea and the u.s. as well. assessing there is potentially an icbm. some saying potentially it could hit parts of alaska, but at this point, the official word is what we re waiting for. the south korean joint chiefs of staff saying they are still analyzing the data with the united states, but specifically saying they are not denying this at this point. so certainly officials are trying to fig are out exactly what it is. they do say, though, it has an improved range compared to the may 14th launch. now, this may 14th launch was significant, because all experts said that that was the biggest advantagement in the nuclear missile program that north korea has had to date, and if the jcs says, this is even better

re-entry and how good is their aim? you remember that may 14th launch, that missile didn t have fins up on the front of its nose. which doesn t give it a whole lot of directional maneuverability when it is coming back down. it is not to say it can t cause damage, but they don t have exact aim on it and that s another thing that they ll be assessing at the pentagon overnight and in hawaii in the next coming hours. what are you hearing about the options here that the military could have to counter this aggression? all of the options they have would lead to such high civilian loss of life, the pentagon officials are frankly uncomfortable about them. they don t talk about them publicly. obviously their contemplating them. you look at the amount of artillery north korea has on the 48th parallel, a lot of it is mobile artillery, before you can take the pieces out, north korea could cause a lot of damage on the city of seoul, 40 million people there. within artillery range, there is the u
