The Washington (com)Post ran an article entitled "What is North Korea Trying to Hit?" that was last updated in late July. They specify which targets North Korea would likely strike in their area if they were to do so. They also outlined which US areas would probably be struck first. Just want to point out that this is completely hypothetical, and this isn't fear porn. I just think from time to time, "Of they were going to try to strike the US mainland, where would it likely be?" I'm sure many of you guys have also thought of the same question.
Since North Korea is situated in Asia, it's much more likely that if hey we're to strike somewhere, they would aim for either South Korea or Japan. With North Korea's latest missile test passing over northern Japan, and with news that they've successfully tested a "missile-ready nuclear bomb," which was confirmed by POTUS Trump today, many of us are left thinking "What's next?"
If you're on the US mainland, these are the locations that Washington Post (if you can even call them news) says that N.Korea would likely go after (again, this would be K. Jong Un's dream, but not very likely).
We see that the Washington D.C. area, San Francisco area, and Pearl Harbor areas would all be the most likely regions of a strike. You can also see that N. Korea is about 5,000 miles from Seattle, and that there are a couple of other hot areas in the heartland of the U.S. that Un would likely be pleased to blow up.
Should we be worried right now? Hurricane Irma inches toward the U.S. mainland, North Korea successfully tested "missile-ready" nuclear bomb. What is next? Let me know your thoughts. Things look bleak for the U.S. economy still and with these constant threats lurking, these uncertain times could spell disaster. Will there be a "Black Swan Event" to get the crash moving?
