The Pentagon Says That North Korea Is Capable of a Nuclear Strike on the U.S.

The secretive nation has long declined to give a straight answer about its nuclear capacity

Officials in Washington are of the opinion that North Korea’s nuclear arsenal holds missiles that could reach the mainland U.S.A. — but stress that it is a threat that the Pentagon is adequately prepared to face, according to one senior military official quoted by Reuters.

“I’m pretty confident that we’re going to knock down the numbers that are going to be shot,” Admiral Bill Gortney, who heads the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said of a potential strike. He spoke at an event hosted by the international affairs think tank Atlantic Council on the matter of “protecting the homeland.”

Iraq was SUSPECTED of having nuclear weapons (and never threatened the USA with them).
We've spent about a trillion dollars and bled all over the desert because of that. And left a country and a society in ruins....
North Korea DEFINITELY has them and threatens us every day (and our allies, too).
Good thing they don't have any oil we want.
Or have a President that wants revenge on someone.....
keep cheering.
