Trump continues to warn dictator Kim Jong-un that if he really attacks the US island of Guam in the Pacific, "he will regret it bitterly and very quickly and I very much hope that the North Koreans understand the weight of what I said because what I said and what I intend to do and believe me Kim will not be able to get away with what he is doing ”. Already this morning Trump, on Twitter, had warned that “the (US) military measures have been fully prepared and ready to strike if North Korea were to act recklessly. We hope that Kim Jong-un will find another way ”.
The reference to the island (American military base in the Pacific) is linked, however, to the announcement made by the military leaders of Pyongyang, according to which, from 15 August, if Kim so wishes, he can decide to launch four intermediate range ballistic missiles Hwasong-12 to hit the waters - not the island or its military bases - 30/40 kilometers from Guam, which is 3.400 kilometers from North Korea.
According to US intelligence reports, North Koreans have been able to miniaturize an atomic head so that it can be integrated into an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching and hitting the US. For this reason, Trump launched a war of warnings and statements to which Pyongyang responded after a few hours with ever-more provocative tones.
