"In response, in recent days North Korea has variously threatened to nuke Guam, Honolulu, San Diego, Austin and Washington, D.C."

That's what our media makes of it, but if you listen to the original North Korean messages it usually turns out the be slightly different. Usually they threaten to retaliate if they are attacked and then pick a target in the US and say it is within reach.

With the latest of such responses your media spun their statement into a threat which is a blatant lie.
We should listen carefully what the North Koreans say. They say they intend to test 4 medium range ballistic missiles that will be shot in the direction of Guam. They will be targeted at international waters some 20 to 30 kilometers north of Guam. So they are announcing a missile test, maybe because with their lastest test they were called inresponsible because a passenger plane was some minutes away from the missile trajectory. Maybe they want to avoid similar allegations this time. So they are not threatening to attack Guam, they are announcing that they intend to test/demonstrate their capability to actually hit somewhere close to Guam.

It's really sad to see our countries being led by MIC and the deep state, but it has been going on my entire life. I hope Europe is, encouraged by the latest ridiculous Russian sanctions, going to take a different course. But sadly that place is also run my bungling incompetent fools that introduced their Euro to soon, and are now strong arming countries as Hungary and Poland to accept migrants.
