North Korean Rocket Capable Of Hitting Half the U.S: Scientists

Quoting MIT professor Theodore Postol and a physicist at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) David Wright, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Wednesday that the rocket - could fly even further as of over 10,000 kilometers, turning into a missile. "We estimate that it could have a range of 10,000-10,500 kilometers, allowing it to reach Alaska, Hawaii, and roughly half of the lower 48 states," they said in an article posted this week on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

If this is true that NK missiles could reach not only Alaska but about half of the lower U.S. states, I think that the U.S. will use military action against NK. The article also states in detail how the scientists reached this conclusion. I do not want the U.S. to get involved in another war, and I have stated in the past that the U.S. will be lured into another war to separate us more from our allies, and to plant even more seeds of hatred against the U.S. We might not have any other alternative than to attack NK unfortunately, but I hope this situation can be solved before any military action is taken.
