North Korea’s missiles can hit most of the US Regions

UNITED STATES officials have said they believe North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) are now capable of hitting most of the continental United States, after the pariah state conducted another missile test last week.
Two US officials who spoke with Reuters anonymously on Monday confirmed North Korea’s “supreme leader” Kim Jong Un wants to develop a nuclear-capable ICBM to deter attacks on his country and gain international legitimacy, not to launch an attack on the US or its allies.
Nevertheless, advancements in Pyongyang’s nuclear programme are of grave concern and may force Donald Trump’s administration to act, said the officials.

North Korea said on Saturday it had conducted another successful test of an ICBM that proved its ability to strike America’s mainland.
Kim supervised the midnight launch of the missile on Friday night and called it a “stern warning” to the US it would not be safe from destruction if it tried to attack, the North’s official KCNA news agency said.
The Pentagon declined to comment on the US assessment of the missile launch even as it acknowledged the latest test represented the longest test flight of any North Korean missile.

“The specifics of our assessment are classified for reasons I hope you understand,” Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis told a news briefing, only acknowledging the missile could fly at least 5,500km – the minimum range for what the Pentagon classifies as an ICBM.
“You could have the debate back and forth of whether the capability is proven or not, the fact of the matter is we take it seriously and we are prepared to defend against (it),” Davis said
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke with Trump on Monday and agreed on the need for more action on North Korea hours after the US Ambassador to the United Nations said Washington was “done talking about North Korea”.

Us President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Comey is another win for Vladimir Putin

By
In his wildest dreams, Russian leader (and former Soviet intelligence officer) Vladimir Putin could have never imagined the extent of his success during President Donald Trump’s first five months in office. Trump’s move on Tuesday to terminate FBI Director James Comey puts another huge point on the scoreboard for Putin — especially given the FBI’s lead role in probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Truth be told, though, Russia’s already doing pretty well. In just a few months, Putin’s intrigues have probably influenced the outcome of an American presidential election and produced a basket of spoils for Mother Russia, including bitter feuds between the White House and the CIA, rifts between the US and its allies, damage to the American press’s legitimacy and public standing, a standoff between the White House and the federal courts over immigration orders, and the slow  sabotage  of American government through neglect and mismanagement.

Clinton says false stories on Facebook helped Trump win election

By
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said hoaxes and false news stories on Facebook contributed to her loss in last year's U.S. presidential election, adding to a list of factors she blames for her defeat. The former Democratic candidate said earlier this month that interference by Russian hackers and then-FBI director James Comey helped tip the election to Republican President Donald Trump. Speaking at a technology conference near Los Angeles, Clinton on Wednesday mentioned Facebook by name and said that fake stories spread on the social network influenced the information that people relied on. "The other side was using content that was just flat-out false and delivering it in a very personalized way, both sort of above the radar screen and below," Clinton said during an on-stage interview at the Code conference. A representative for Facebook could not immediately be reached for comment. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said just after the November e
