President Donald Trump called an emergency meeting on the 4th of July to formulate a 'measured response' to North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missile test, amid fears it could reach as far as Alaska.






U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has confirmed North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of hitting Alaska.

And Tillerson says that’s a new escalation of the threat posed to the United States and the world by North Korea.

Tillerson says the U.S. will bring North Korea’s action before the United Nations Security Council.

His statement provided the first confirmation of the U.S. conclusion that the missile was an ICBM.

The U.S. military’s initial assessment was that North Korea fired an intermediate-range missile.

The U.S. has requested a closed-door meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the latest launch, a spokesman for the US mission to the United Nations says.

The spokesman said the meeting of the 15-member council was likely to be scheduled for Wednesday.

Weapons experts in the United States said that the missile has the potential to reach areas of Alaska.



On Tuesday, the US, Japan, and South Korea said intelligence suggested themissile flew for about 40 minutes and reached an altitude of 1,500 miles, which would be longer and higher than any similar North Korean test previously reported.

It also covered a distance of about 580 miles.

'That range would not be enough to reach the lower 48 states or the large islands of Hawaii, but would allow it to reach all of Alaska.'

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says the launch is a new escalation of the threat posed to the United States and the world by North Korea.




How far would missile have to travel from Pyongyang to reach the rest of the world?



US Naval Base in Guam: 2,114 miles (3,402 km)

Hawaii: 4,727 miles (7,670 km)

London (over mainland Europe): 5,379 miles (8,657 km)

San Francisco: 5,588 miles (8,993 km)

Los Angeles: 5,935 miles (9,551 km)

New York: 6,783 miles (10,916 km)

Washington, DC: 6,857 miles (11,035 km)

People watch a TV broadcast of a news report on North Korea's Hwasong-14 missile in Seoul on Tuesday.


People in Seoul watch a television news broadcast showing a North Korean announcer reading a statement on the country's new ICBM test.


People watch the news that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed the order to carry out the test-fire of intercontinental ballistic rocket near the Pyongyang railway station in Pyongyang, North Korea.


A local TV news shows what was said to be the launch of a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile, ICBM, aired by North Korea's KRT, at a consumer-electronics retailer in Tokyo

NORTH KOREA'S MISSILE DEVELOPMENT: A TIMELINE

I fear another world war is not on the way especially for the Africans. Nigeria will start producing pencil by 2018 while North Korea is testing missile

Alaska is in serious danger. But now is the time to show how US missile defense works

The system is what has been keeping the country safe for decades.

So it's perfect.

Except if they have a tech that can deal with the system, hack it or override it.

It is Americas nuclear weapons that is keeping it safe.

If they dont have that system, their nuclear arsenal can be attacked.

Though I don't approve of his methods but I can't help it.


Buhari see that man I am pointing ehnnn .
That is a definition of what a leader should be not taking medical tour around the globe

What are they likely going to come up with after the Emergency UN meeting? Answer: More useless and pointless 'sanctions'. The Kim boys will just go ahead to test more ICBMs and there will be more 'emergency meetings' up ahead. Boring...I 've seen this before. Trump. SMH.

I just like that guy, he don't talk too much. That is a definition of leader with focus, determination and zeal to carry his people along. Thanks to China and Russia who always come to protect the interest of their region. U.S.A has done more harm to African than good. They are the green snake in the green grass. They spread disease to African and offer to help, thereby ripping African countries of their resources. What about terrorism?? Let me not talk about it. Is it their satanic CIA agents everywhere in world??

Wahala go dey jeje, some people go dey draw am for tail

And the thing here be say when two elephants dey fight, na the grass under them dey suffer

Me right now be like...................................

abeg make dem detonate the nuclear atomic bomb jawe..





.......make everybody die commot

This will simply throw this world into chaos. No one believed Hitler could. China better end this once and for all.

Hmmmm....are we close to the predicted world war 3 and 2nd Nigeria civil war concurrently

Pakistan disassociates from being US ally in the middle east, embraces China as their new ally and most reliable next world power....

Hausa/Fulani threatening to repeat the 1966 pogrom in which more than a million innocent unarmed Igbo people living in the far north and north central got killed in most barbaric manner backed by then Nigerian military and Police.

But just to remind the north that 2017 is not 1966....a lot of things have changed....

Britain is not going to support you military wise cos Britain right now cannot even defend themself to talk of defending a not-profitable foreign nation in Africa. Also there are many Igbo's in UK parliament now that will kick against UK involvement in any Northern Nigeria attack on Igbo people.

I also forgot to remind Hausa/Fulani that they have already destroyed and killed lots of Middle Belt people and Middle Belt won't be joining you in next battle against Igbo's cos Middle Belt now know their true enemies; Hausa/Fulani.

If you are Hausa/Fulani person reading this, warn your people to never try to start mass killing of Igbo's living peacefully in the north if they don't want Nigeria to burn beyond recognition. 1966 is not 2017! Igbo's are spread across the world now and all the people that fought with Hausa/Fulani in 1966 won't join them this time knowing how barbaric they have been of late.

As for Nnamdi KANU, we well meaning Igbo people do not support his nonsense way of seeking for Igbo freedom from Nigeria....we condemn him and his hate speeches.... He doesn't understand how to fight for freedom...not by saying hateful things against your oppressors....instead use facts figures to humble them and shame them.

If Nigeria cannot restructure for the good of all well meaning Nigerians, then let the country split in peace so peace can reign.

Enough of the bloodshed. Hausa/Fulani militia and youths be warned, it won't be a field day for u guys like you feel.

Hausa/Fulani leaders, warn your youths and hold your militia to avoid starting what u cannot handle

WW3 loading

It is noted.

Make this world do end abeg

They shouldnt send such to Nigeria o

. Kudos to the North Korean President. He is one of the greatest of all time.

For those who ask: "why would big USA follow due process of reporting small North Korea to UNSC?"

Well NK want to bury SK, a US protectorate. So US wouldn't allow that to happen.

NK has a big bro called China. The big brother has a bully friend called Russia, who doesn't like America.

So touch NK, you touch China. China responds means Russia is there.

Well the WW3 has been calculated to be: China and Russia vs America and allies.

North Korea is not Syria; it has real retaliatory capabilities. Btw, Mr Trump that was an intermediate range and not ICBM.

I dunno
But I like saddam, gaddafi, Mobutu , idi amin,
Al Assad, Kim jun (sumtin sumtin)
And above all Putin
