The U.S. Department of Defense has deployed the Seabased X-band Radar this week just in time to warn the islands of a possible nuclear missile attack from North Korea. The X-band Radar has been in Pearl Harbor for several months undergoing maintenance and an upgrade.
It was deployed earlier this week just in time to answer to a possible nuclear missile attack from North Korea. The Defense department is supposedly deploying more land based interceptor missiles in Hawaii as well as keeping missiles on the continent in alert status.
The communist government of North Korea has spent several months sabre rattling by accelerating its development of nuclear arms and testing several short range missiles. They also conducted an underground atomic bomb test last month, their second since becoming a nuclear threat.
The communist regime now threatens to test fire a long range missile that has a range of at least 4,000 miles. It is aimed at the Hawaiian islands. The North Koreans claim that this will only be a test firing. Are we to just lay complacent? No one can trust a terrorist state such as North Korea. Who are we to know that the missile will not be armed.
War could be provoked if the U.S. or its allies board a North Korean ship that is allegedly shipping arms to some undisclosed port. That could be a trigger to war if the ship is boarded.
We are a rock stuck in a hard place. Hopefully it never comes to war, much less a nuclear exchange. If it does, we in Hawaii will all be glowing as the islands burn to a radioactive cinder.
