Vasily Golovnin: “The young leader Kim Jong-un decided to play hard-boiled”

“The interested public is puzzling over the meaning of the unprecedentedly specific message issued by Pyongyang: they say that by mid-August a plan will be developed to launch four Hwasong-12 medium-range missiles at once on the hot American resort island of Guam. Which will cross Japan over Hiroshima (well, sort of nice reminder) and after 17 minutes 45 seconds of flight they will crash into the ocean 30-40 km from the target,” the journalist writes on his Facebook page.

“And in Guam, if anyone doesn’t know, in addition to wonderful beaches, restaurants, hotels and crowds of vacationers, there is a nuclear submarine base and, most importantly, the Andersen Air Force Base with strategic bombers, which, on occasion, are called upon to strike North Korea.

The plan, as reported in Pyongyang, will be transferred to the leader of the DPRK and immediately put into effect after the highest order. Experts in Seoul believe that the launch of missiles is very likely - the boy should hit if he swung. Moreover, this was announced publicly. However, just in case, the boy still said that we were only talking about simulating a missile attack - swallow it, Americans, show that you don’t know what to do.

It seems that the young leader Kim Jong-un has decided to play hard-boiled. North Korea is now under strict sanctions; it is difficult to slowly lose resources when export earnings are reduced by a third. We need to crack the situation and force Trump to step forward. Now I wonder what Donald will do - he may also be tempted to start a war."
